Investors & landlords

Your posts are not being rejected. The problem is, ever since they migrated the help forums to this "new and improved" platform, they haven't yet worked all the bugs out yet. This is the third or forth migration these forums have gone through in the 10 plus years I've been participating, and it seems to me that every "improvement" is step backwards. 🙂

When going through the rental section, it does not give me an option to enter an actual 1098, it just asks for some of the info from the - real estate tax and mortgage interest. 

Ummmmm, the only possible place to get that data is from the 1098. So that screen "is" asking for the 1098 data.  See image below. Circled in green.

Can I add PMI to the "insurance" total?

Yes.

Why doesn't TT ask for any PMI here??

It does. See image below. (circled in red)

When I move to the Deductions section, it shows the correct (split) amounts for Mortgage Interest and Property Taxes. But when I go into edit/add under Mortgage Interest to put in my bank's name, it asks me to fill in boxes as they appear on my 1098.

Are you being asked to enter the lender's name when runing a "review check for errors" thing? If so, that's because you are selecting the "Enter a new 1098" button, when you should be clicking the "EDIT" button to the right of the entry that is already there.  Enter the lenders name and then CONTINUE working it through to the end of that section. Do not change any of the numbers. Just keep clicking CONTINUE until it's done and you are returned to the "Home Loan Deduction Summary" screen. There should only be "ONE" mortgage lender entry on this screen. Then click the DONE button on that screen to leave that section.
