No 1098 for bridge loan, how to file?

In 2017 I had a bridge loan from a local bank.  The loan was secured by the newly purchased home.  That loan was paid off in 2.5 months.  I paid a little over $3K in interest on that loan.  I did not receive a 1098, but was given a printout of interest paid.  Apparently there is no 1098 because it was not a standard mortgage loan.  An earlier Q/A on this topic indicated the loan is deductible because it was secured by my new home.  Since I do not have a 1098 the TT Q&A doesn't have an option for me.  How do I get this amount to show up on Schedule A line 11 instead of line 10?  I tried to edit the form view with no luck.
