how do I record mortgage income?

[mpholway]

I hold a mortgage and made $6211.41 of interest. Where do I record that?

If you as the seller financed the mortgage -

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home & Business)

Click on Wages & Income (Personal Income using Home & Business

Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)

Under Interest and Dividends

On Interest from Seller-Financed Loans, click the start button

I'm using turbotax premium and the menu options you are suggesting are no applicable.  Additionally I did not sell the home.  I only financed it.

Do you mean that you paid $6211.41 of interest and you want to deduct it on your Schedule A?

No, I hold a mortgage for someone and I have to claim the interest  income.

 You can enter the mortgage interest you receive by selecting the following:

• Federal
• Income
• Show more next to Interest and Dividends
• Start next to interest on 1099-INT (you do NOT need the 1099-INT, just their name and SSN)
