If I recently purchased a house in a different state while still paying mortgage on the one I still live in, how do I fill them both out on the tax form?

I am paying for two houses at the moment in two different states, and I put the down payment on the second house in 2018. I am unsure of how to put this information into the tax forms.

If you paid mortgage interest or property taxes on both homes in 2018 then you will click 

• Federal (after fully logging into your return)
• Deductions and Credits
• See list of all tax breaks
• Show More next to Your Home
• Start next to Mortgage Interest, Refinancing and Insurance (or property taxes)
• After entering your first 1098 click Add Another 1098 and enter the mortgage interest for your second home.
• For property taxes you will enter the total for your homes combined

If you did not pay property taxes or mortgage interest there are no tax deductions for purchasing a home.
