single 1098 getting mortgage interest limit int/points error
i have one mortgage. it is a refinance done in oct 2020 where money was taken out to spend on non-house things. i paid interest and have zero points.
i have entered the info from the 1098, and i have said the amount spent on the house which was 0, but the federal check is giving an error.
the mortgage interest limited smart worksheet is open.
tax and interest deduction worksheet. Limited interest and points must be entered.
it then expects me to put a value in "Limit int/points on 1098" field.
on the form ' does your mortgage interest need to be limited' is yes.
line A.1 is zero
line A.2 is blank and is asking for a value, but i have no idea what value is.
i do not remember getting this problem last year for 2021 tax year.
i've deleted the form twice and when i reenter the values i get the same error.
