Solved: Re: Mortgage Recast

Is a mortgage recast tax deductible? If so, how would I go about entering it into turbotax?

No, the only part of a mortgage that is tax deductible is the interest paid and the points paid. You would still be able to deduct interest paid by entering your 1098, but not the lumpsum payment.
