How do I tell TurboTax that I have a reverse mortgage so there is no 1098? It keeps asking to give my 1098 info and I can't get around it.

You can click on Delete or the trash can icon to remove the lender.    Search for 1098 and use the Go to link to be taken to your lender summary screen, then you can delete the lender.   

 

Thank you, Dawn, but my screen looks very different from this. I don't get a jump to link when I search for 1098. I tried going back and deleting the 1098 in mortgage deductions (even though I had to override the standard deduction to do that) but it still comes up as a "check this" in the final review and asks for the 1098 info. any other suggestions?

And now it's taken me into a place where I have to manually enter deductions which I don't want to do. How do I go back to Standard deduction? This is a terrible program this year! I have never had so much trouble with it!
