Deductions & credits

@daa 

I believe that when you enter the 1098, there is an additional space to report “property taxes not reported on a 1098“.

For the daily interest, create a separate lender (usually in the name of the closing bank, which is often different than the company servicing your mortgage), check the box for  “I did not get a 1098 for this lender“ and enter the daily interest (assuming it is not already included in the figure reported on the 1098, which you will have to check yourself).

 

For the points, they are entered separately, because there is an interview in which you have to demonstrate that you are qualified to deduct the points all at once, rather than over 30 years. You can enter the points either under the name of the servicing lender that sent the 1098, or under the name of the originating bank.
