Regardless of the origination date that is entered, Turbo tax will not allow for box to to be left blank, or for a value less than $1 to be entered. I also have an accurate 1098 form that has a zero value in box 2, but I am unable to move forward without an error message if I leave it blank or enter a zero. I was "advised" by Turbo Tax to enter $1, but that would be inaccurate as compared to my form 1098 tax document.
