This is when I am entering details for a HELOC on the "Let's check if your home loan interest is deductible" page.

Some background: this HELOC was originated in 2022, and a portion of the loan proceeds was used for some eligible home improvements in 2023. I did not include the 1098 in my 2022 taxes since none of the proceeds had been used yet for any home improvements.
