We can not see your return, but Return to the Mortgage Interest section and try the instructions below.
Open or continue your return.
Under Federal tab, Click on Deductions & Credits.
Scroll to Mortgage Interest and Refinancing (Form 1098), and Click Update/Edit.
Make sure Box 2 (Outstanding Principal) is exactly what is on your 1098 form (e.g., $300,000).
Proceed through the screens until you see "Do any of these situations apply to you?" (usually regarding points, seller-paid interest, or co-owners), and Click on "None of these apply" or "No" very deliberately.
On the screen regarding the $750,000/$1,000,000 limit, Make sure you Click on "No."
Also... Make sure that you Checked the checkbox that says "The loan is secured by a property of mine.* (If this is unchecked, the program thinks the interest is personal debt (non-deductible) and may generating the "Limit" question as a result of the data mismatch.).
You can also try deleting your 1098 form, and then re-enter it.
Please let us know if this doesn't work, and we will explore other options.
