I have not yet been able to get a satisfactory answer to our question from any Turbo Tax expert in this community forum. It seems like there may be a shortcoming in Turbo Tax whereby the software does not enable you to properly enter your information in my and possibly your specific circumstance, so that the mortgage interest expense ends up on line 8b of Schedule A in the tax return when the secured loan is not seller financed. I am still hoping to get a satisfactory answer to this question from Turbo Tax Online representatives.
