Thank you for your help and yes, you are correct that I am using the desktop software.
I looked at the worksheet in form view as you advised and I found that the bank name, interest, mortgage balance, and mortgage origination date are all in blue. HOWEVER, as I keep writing, I filled in ONLY the mortgage interest amount (and bank name) and nothing else. I know this for sure because all input to Turbotax was from my own tax data input sheets which I have used for years from Lacerte (before I retired) and I do not enter anything on my input sheets from the 1098 form other than the annual interest amount and in this case the bank name which I knew without looking.
The question remains, how did Intuit or Turbotax obtain the mortgage balance and the date of the original loan since I absolutely, positively did not give it to them? Who would know for sure?
