I have no financing on this or my former residence. Why does Turbotax insist I must have a 1098?

You don't need the Form 1098 to report mortgage interest in your case. It may be transferred in from a previous year. You can see if the Form 1098 is in your program and if so delete it as follows:

1. Choose the Tax Tools option on your left menu bar

2. Choose Tools

3. Choose the Delete a form option under Other Helpful links 

4. Find the Form 1098 in the list of forms and delete it
