Can you provide more detail? Mortgage interest is part of itemized deductions and will only affect your return if you are itemizing. You would only itemize if your total deductions are greater than your standard deduction for your filing status.

Follow these steps to add mortgage interest deduction if that is your area of concern:

1. Under the Federal menu, choose Deductions & Credits
2. Expand the menu for Your Home
3. Click Start/Revisit next to Mortgage Interest and Refinancing (Form 1098)

Deducting Mortgage Interest

Using Windows version of Turbo Tax premier with patch R17 applied. Worked with Donna M. case # [social security number removed].

My deductions total almost $55,000 far exceeding the standard deduction so I'm itemized. Mortgage Interest amount entered of $25,772 was not being carried over to Schedule A,  so had to manually enter it via override mode.
