Deductions & credits
First it usually works best if all the 1098's are deleted from TurboTax and start fresh. The steps below will have you delete first. Also keep in mind that as long as the average mortgage balance doesn't exceed $750,000 then your interest deduction is not going to be limited.
- Deductions and Credits
- I'll choose what I work on (If desktop versions)
- Update Mortgage Interest topic
- Delete all 1098s
- Done
- Update the Mortgage interest topic
- Yes
- Put in oldest loan first
- Primary Home
- None of the above
- Enter form information from the first loan
- Continue
- No points to deduct (or points as applicable)
- No this not the most recent
- Answer the Refi questions for this loan (Is this loan original or a refi?) as needed
- Continue
- Add a lender (1098) the next oldest
- Steps 8-14 as above for this loan
- No this not the most recent
- Yes, this is a refinance
- Did you use the proceeds for anything other than paying off the existing loan? Yes or No?
- If yes, did you use the proceeds only on the home that secures the loan? Yes or No?
- If no, you'll need to enter more details about the use of the loan proceeds including the end of year balance (1st statement 2023) and if you paid this loan off in 2022
- Continue
- Add a lender (1098) put in the most recent loan
- Steps 8-14
- Yes this is the most recent
- Be sure this was refi. Did you actually go in and sign new loan paperwork or was this loan just transferred/sold to a new servicer?
- If loan just changed servicer then box 11 on the 1098 should have a date in it. You would answer this is not a refinance. If it is a refinance then answer those questions as needed (steps 21-23).
- Continue
- Assuming your deduction was not limited due the average loan amount (less than $750K) then you are done.
