To proceed, let's double-check your entries for the three 1098s you have:
- For the original mortgage that you refinanced out of, make sure you answer No to Let's see if this is the most recent form for this loan.
- For the refinance mortgage on your first home, answer Yes to Let's see if this is the most recent form for this loan. Make sure both these loans are marked as applying to your primary home.
- For Form 1098 for your new home enter that it is secured by a Second home in What kind of property is this loan secured by?
- Once you have all three 1098s entered you should see a screen that reads Let's wrap up your mortgage interest deduction. The first loan that you refinanced out of should be the only one of the three that has an entry for the date of final payment. For the other two, enter your loan balances from January 1, 2022. This will be less than the Outstanding Mortgage Principal reported on Form 1098 and can be found on your mortgage payment for January 2022.
Please note that if the total of your Outstanding Mortgage Principal exceeds $750,000 TurboTax may trigger an error with regards to the mortgage interest deduction. The worksheet for this is estimated to be available on February 17, 2022.
