deductible home Mortgage Interest worksheet

[fan-zhou]

I sold my home last year, so I have 2 1098 for two different homes. When I file home mortgage interest deduction, the worksheet has combined 2 loans as one to calculate qualified mortgage interest deduction. I thought each home should have $750,000 qualified mortgage interest deduction separately. Is that right? How should I file it in TurboTax Premier?  Thanks,

@fan-zhou This issue is well-known.  I'm going to share with you a screenshot of the "workaround".  It's the best TurboTax has been able to come up with for this year.  Thanks for your understanding.

@Kat Thanks for your reply, but the workaround is still not right. I should get all the interest deduction for the one I sold (<750k) and part of interest deduction for the one I have now(>750k). For the workaround, I can only get part of interest deduction for the sold one.
