How to I report home insurance deduction? Potential bug in Premier 2021

I've got Preimier 2021 PC desktop version. In the deductions section it groups mortgage interest, refinancing, and interest. When I "Update" that section it only asks questions about my mortgage, but does not ask about insurance. Property Tax has its own category, but I can't find out how to enter the insurance. Please help.

Enjoy!

While mortgage insurance premiums can be deducted if you itemize, home insurance is not a deduction unless you use part of your home for business or rent.

If I'm a remote working from my home, would a portion of the insurance be deducted?

Not if you are an employee.

Homeowner's insurance is not deductible for your personal residence. If you have a rental property, then homeowner's insurance is a deductible rental expense.
