Interest on a Reverse Mortgage is not tax deductible, as it is treated as a Home Equity Line of Credit. You will not enter this 1098 on your return.

"Any interest (including original issue discount) accrued on a reverse mortgage is considered home equity debt and isn’t deductible."https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p936.pdf
