Home Equity Loan Interest

[mikes1947]

I have  paid interest to my bank on a home loan and have a home equity loan with the same bank on my home. I've paid interest on both loans.  Should I combine the total home loan interest paid to the bank for both loans in one field on Turbotax or treat them separately and use 2 fields to enter the info.?

You should report each 1098 separately on the return. The IRS will be looking for 2 separate 1098 filings on your return. 

FYI: Home Equity Loan Interest - As long as the amount is used to buy, build, or improve your home, it qualifies for the interest deduction.
