Thanks for your response - No, when I entered point in the 1098 section, I did not enter them in the "not on 1098 section". When I entered the points in "not on the 1098 section" I deleted the points from the 1098 section. Yes, I did not want the points counted twice.
If you do have enough deductions try this: Enter the 1098s in order received. Mark the first one 'Not the latest 1098'. When you get to the 'Points' page, select both 'This is a new loan in which I paid points' and 'I bought or improved my home with this loan'. On the second 1098, select 'This is the latest 1098'.
Earlier I was selecting only "This is a new loan on which I paid points". This time around as you suggested, I selected both new loan and I bought checkboxes. In this, it asks for points and selected this loan was paid off. No change in the refund.
Second time around, I selected only "I bought or Improved" and did not enter points in the 1098 section. No, change in refund. When done with home loan summary, Turbotax asks few more questions about the loan, in that area, this time around I entered the points in "Not on 1098 section". I immediately see a change in the refund.
I don't think this is a unique situation, and I am baffled by it and trying to figure what might be going on. Greatly appreciate your response.
