Yes, you can report the interest without entering the lender's information if using TurboTax for Desktop. You need the desktop version in order to edit forms.
- Under Federal Taxes >> Deductions & Credits, enter the mortgage interest information as if you received a 1098. Leave the lender's name blank.
- Go to Forms Mode (Forms icon in the TurboTax header).
- Click on the Home Int Wks [Untitled] in the left column to open it in the big window.
- Scroll down to Line 12 and check the Yes box but leave the lender info lines blank. (Note that this is a TurboTax form and is NOT included with your tax return.)
- Now open Schedule A and confirm that the interest not from Form 1098 appears on Line 8b.
- Click Step-by-Step in the header to return to the main screens.
