If you have multiple 1098 mortgage forms from refinancing or your lender selling the loan, you’ll enter them in TurboTax one at a time.
- After going through the steps with the first one, you can add a lender when you get to the Your 1098 summary screen in TurboTax Online or the Home loans deduction summary screen in TurboTax Desktop.
For a loan that was sold
When a loan is sold to another lender, it’s not the same as a refinance, but you’ll still need to enter each 1098 separately.
Enter the original (sold) loan first
- Go to the Did you pay any home loans in 2024? screen, and select Yes.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to enter the details of your original loan.
- On the Is this 1098 the most recent for your loan? screen, select No.
- Answer the remaining on-screen questions about the details of your original loan.
Then enter the 1098 for the new loan
- On the Your 1098 summary screen, select Add a new 1098.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to enter the details of your additional 1098.
- On the Is this 1098 the most recent for this loan screen, answer Yes. This lets us know that we have the most recent loan balance to use for your deduction.
- Answer the remaining on-screen questions about the details of your original loan.
- When you're all done, you'll see both of your forms on the Your 1098 summary screen. You can select Done to finish and file your return.
