If TurboTax is telling you to take the itemized deductions over your standard deduction TurboTax will choose the most beneficial deduction for you to use.   There is likely a reason. It is hard to say why without seeing your tax return, but for example some states require you to itemize on your federal return to itemize on your state return. If itemizing saves you a substantial amount on your state taxes, the combined state and federal tax liability could be lower, even if your federal tax is slightly higher.   You could try manually changing your deduction from itemizing to standard using the instructions below to see the overall impact.      If you are using TurboTax Online: In your left panel scroll down to "Tax Tools" Click on "Tools" Click on the box "Topic Search" In the box that says "I'm looking for:" type in "Standard Deduction" This will take you to the page "Based on what you told us..." Here you can change your deduction by clicking the box "Change my Deduction"  If you are using TurboTax Desktop: Go to "Federal Taxes" tab in the gray bar at the top of your screen Select the "Deductions & Credits" tab (under Federal Taxes in the gray bar at the top of your screen Click on "I'll Choose What to Work On" Select "Continue" at the bottom of the page Select "Continue" on the next page that says "Let's Check Your Deductions and Credits" Select "Continue" on the next page that says "Here Are Your 2024 Deductions & Credits" The following page will give you the opportunity to change your deduction by clicking on the box "Change my deduction" Also, you can review your Tax Summary.

the loan balance on a refi can not exceed the principal outstanding on the old loan immediately before the refi. unless the excess was used to make substantial improvements to the home  assuming the excess was not used to substantially improve the property, you have a mixed-use mortgage Such a mortgage is split into two parts  - acquisition debt, the balance on the previous loan, and non-acquisition debt, the excess. principal paymenst are now applied to the non acquistion debt prtion until it is reduced to zero (IRS PUB 936)    The balance for the 12th month is equal to the balance on the old loan because I assume any principal payment would apply only to the excess There are many ways to compute the average balance. PUB 936 only addresses two, but I'm not sure those are the only allowable methods since the PUBs are not official IRS documents, which have the force of the tax laws, but merely guidance  1)It could be the balance for each month before the mortgage payment for that month. (the last month would be the amount of the old debt) and divide by 12. 2)or it could be the mortgage balance at the beginning of the year + the allowable portion of the new mortgage at the end of the year divided by 2. 3) or it could be the average balance each month (the balance before and after that month's payment divided by 2. You sum up each month and divide by 12   note PUB 936 uses the second method PUB 936  not sure which methods TurboTx can handle by just inputting the 1098 info and answering some questions
