Can't adjust mortgage interest exceeding $1m (financed prior to 2017) in turbotax. Is this a SW bug?

I selected yes for mortgage exceeding $1M (financed prior to 2017), but Turbo Tax didn't guide me to any calculation to adjust the mortgage interest. Later on, I deleted the montage interest and re-entered, it didn't even ask me the question if the mortgage exceed $1m, so there is no way for me to adjust.

TurboTax may have calculated the Adjustment to your Mortgage Interest for you, based on the 1098 info you entered.

 

Review your Deductible Home Mortgage Interest Worksheet (screenshot), Part 2, Line 15 for a factor applied to calculate deductible interest.

No, I do not have such a worksheet. I used to have such a worksheet when turbo tax will direct me after I select that my mortgage amount exceeds $1m in all prior year returns, but not this year. 

 

Instead I have a Mortgage Interest Limited Smart Worksheet, which simply adds up the mortgage interest I entered

 

I believe this is a bug in this year's SW. Please help fix it.

Some TurboTax customers were experiencing an issue with their Home Mortgage Average Balance. This can cause the Home Mortgage Interest to be incorrectly limited
