I'm getting a check mark on Other Interest and Dividends. Its the second Check box on the situation review that states : "Recieved interest payments from seller-financed mortgage. This interest that is paid to you. Do not check this box for interest you paid to someone else (such as interest reported to you on form 1098) " I looked in forms I do not have a form 1098 filled out nor are any morgages or loans on my taxes. I can't uncheck the box? I don't know where to clear this or how it got there.

Navigate to the Interest and Dividends income menu under Federal, then select Start next to Interest from Seller-Financed Loans. Select No on the first screen that opens in this section, and that should clear the error. 

 

 

If you need extra time, filing an extension by April 15, 2026, moves your submission deadline to October 15. But remember any taxes owed are still due in full by the original April 15 date.
