Investors & landlords

Just a guess based on my own logic (which is sometimes illogical).

More than likely when you entered the 1098 information in the SCH E section, you were asked for the mortgage interest from the 1098, and "ONLY" the mortgage interest.

Then the problem on the error check is that the other boxes on the 1098 are not entered on the personal side in the "your Home" section.

If I'm right, then you need to EDIT (Not add another 1098) the split entry in the "Your Home" section (under deductions & credits) and enter the other amounts from the 1098 from boxes 2 and 3, as well as indicating if either box 7 is checked, or if there's an address in box 8. I would fully expect you to have box 7 checked and no address in box 8. But I could be backwards. It will be one or the other.

If you paid mortgage insurance that amount would be in box 5. Otherwise box 5 is blank.

If you paid any points in 2019, then you'll have that amount in box 6. Otherwise box 6 will be blank.
