And the Standard Deduction is $26,600 only if both taxpayers are 65 or older or blind (if just one is, then the Standard Deduction is $25,300). <BR /></P><P>Mortgage interest has other limitations, but they are based on when you took the loan out, how large it was, and for what purpose.</P><P>Your description describes itemized deductions of at least $28k, so one would think that Itemized Deductions would be chosen. <BR /></P><P>One possibility is that you chose to force the Standard Deduction anyway (I know it's unlikely, but humor me). Do a Search (upper right) for "itemized deductions, choosing" (lower case, without the double quotes), and jump to it. Here you can force it one way or the other.</P><P>Otherwise, please look at your return and tell use what amount you have on line 8 of the 1040 (<SPAN>go to Tax Tools (on the left), and navigate to <B>Tools-&gt;View Tax Summary</B>, and then back on the left, click on View my 1040), and also tell use the amounts for each part of Schedule A (medical, taxes, interest, charitable contributions).</SPAN></P><P>[Edited 4/5/2019 1:37 PM]<BR /></P> Mon, 03 Jun 2019 17:41:05 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/salt-is-limited-to-10-000-state-and-local-taxes-and-t/01/288235#M122046 BMcCalpin 2019-06-03T17:41:05Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/be-sure-to-indicate-that-the-mortgage-is-secured-by-the-p/01/288242#M122051 Be sure to indicate that the mortgage is secured by the property.
