I am trying to eFile, but Turbo Tax is giving me the following error:

"Deductible Home Mortgage Interest Wks: This form has not been finalized for returns with two or more mortgages and limited mortgage interest. We expect this form to be available after February 17th."

I sold my primary residence and purchased a new primary residence (both in July). Therefore, I had 2 different mortgages. I filled out the 1098 info exactly as the bank had reported to us.

We are only doing the standard deduction, so I don't think we even need this worksheet to file. Why won't the program allow us to eFile?

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Our developers are aware of this message and are working to resolve the problem. We expect it to be fixed by the end of the month.

However, if you are taking the standard deduction you can delete the 1098 forms.

Sign into your account and select your current return
Select Tax Tools on the bottom left and then Tools
Select Delete a Form
Find the form and select delete next to it

Thank you for sharing this information. Our team has been working to resolve an error message for the form availability of the Deductible Mortgage Interest Worksheet after the original date expected. We apologize for the delay and inconvenience this has caused. This should now be resolved. Please do try the return in Review and see if it will now pass without flags and allow you to file.

If you have the desktop version of TurboTax, please be sure it updates when you launch the program.
If you have TurboTax Online and it still gives this error message, please sign out of TurboTax, clear your cache and cookies, or try another browser, then sign back in and take it through Review.

The message:

"Deductible Home Mortgage Interest Wks: This form has not been finalized for returns with two or more mortgages and limited mortgage interest. We expect this form to be available after February 17th."

Please do not report both homes on one Form 1098; they should each be reported on their own form.
