If I went through a private lender for my mortgage, then do I need to report anything?

Yes, if you want to report your mortgage interest as a deduction, you will need to add that to your return. Otherwise, you are not required to report this mortgage activity.

To find this section in TurboTax, open your return, then go to My Account >> Tools >> Topic Search. Type in "mortgage interest", then click the topic in the list and GO to go directly to the start of this section. Follow the prompts to enter your mortgage interest.
