Due to student loans, my husband and I file MFS because it significantly lowers our monthly payments toward our loans and we are looking to eventually file for PSLF once we reach the qualifying payments. We bought our first home this year and I am very confused about the 1098 form. Itemizing is not in our best interest for the largest return in our current situation so do I have to file the 1098 form? Do I have to report anything about buying our home in our taxes? I tried to file with the Standard Deduction on TurboTax, but it is still asked me for this information and I want to make sure I file everything correctly. I am in Illinois. Thanks in advance!
