Deductions & credits

Thank you for your response.  I decided to use the alternative method from the IRS publication for determining the average balances.  *Interest paid for the year, divided by Interest rate, and adding all three loans together, this came out to only 549,179.00 and was well below the 750K limit.  I am not sure why TurboTax doesn't have the method available as an option when it seems to be more accurate?  I only had over 750k in loans for 1 month out of the entire year, and the limit was causing me to lose out in over 9500.00 of interest paid -which made no sense to me?  I would rather not claim the $2634.00 in interest at all from the loan I paid off, than lose out on all the other interest I had paid.  Seems like something that needs fixed in the programing?   I am not sure why TurboTax doesn't give you the option to use the Interest Paid divided by intereset rate method?
