I am using TurboTax Deluxe 2025, downloaded Windows version. TurboTax is making extraneous $0 entries for home mortgage interest in multiple fields on my return. I paid off my mortgage several years ago and did not make any entries in TurboTax related to home mortgage interest while preparing my 2025 return. Is there any way to get TurboTax to leave the fields related to home mortgage interest blank, as it did on my returns for previous years? TurboTax is making the extraneous $0 entries on two forms that would be part of my filed return: Schedule A (Itemized Deductions), lines 8a, 8e, and 10; and Form 1116 (Foreign Tax Credit), line 4a. TurboTax is also making related extraneous $0 entries on two worksheets that support these two forms: the Tax and Interest Deduction Worksheet, line 5e, and the Foreign Tax Credit Computation Worksheet, lines 4a and 4a(1). I have filed Form 1116 as part of my returns for many years, and my 2025 return is the first return where TurboTax has entered an extraneous $0 for home mortgage interest on that form. Because my 2025 return is the first that has included Schedule A since I paid off my mortgage, I don't know whether TurboTax would have entered an extraneous $0 for home mortgage interest on Schedule A on any earlier returns.
