TurboTax 1098 is Missing Box 8.

[kd2021]

My bank did NOT check Box 7, but did put in Box 8 the address of my home, secured by the mortgage for which the 1098 was issued.   NOW WHAT??   I recognize that the logical thing was for the bank to check the box, but what should I do now?  Was TurboTax being lazy when they failed to duplicate the form the bank was sending?   (The TurboTax form is also missing boxes 9 and 10!)

It is not necessary to enter the address in box 8. If box 7 is not checked, the next screen will ask if the loan is secured by a property of yours, and it tells you that an address in box 8 would indicate that the loan is secured by your property. Just proceed through the interview and answer the questions. You will get the deduction.

It is also not necessary to enter boxes 9 and 10. Box 10 is a free-form catch-all. Your lender might use box 10 to show the real estate tax that was paid from escrow. If so, enter the amount in the unnumbered box for real estate tax, below box 5.
