Box 10? On Which Form..?

1) What other interest have you entered on which other boxes of which forms?

2) Interest you received or credited to an account of yours, correct?

The form is 1098 Mortgage interest form

I have student loans.

Box 10 is the real estate tax paid.

Hope this helps.

I don't know student loans.

BUT....RE/Property Taxes paid are not Mortgage Interest, and they end up on different lines in the Schedule A (if you end up itemizing). Mortgage Interest paid is box 1 on the 1098 only.

Interest paid to your student loan processor?

…..not sure what that has to do with Mortgage interest...but then, I don't know student loans, or where you may be working on them.
