Where do I enter Form 1098 Box 6?

I am filing form 1098 in TT. On my 1098 there is an amount to disclose in Box 6 for points paid, but I don't see a Box 6 entry in TT. Where do I enter that amount?

 

This post https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/form-1098-box-6-0-but-paid-discount-points-re-tax-is-incorrect/00/2074610 says that I should see a "My 1098 has additional boxes", but I don't see that option as you can see from the screenshot below.

Thanks for any help.

When you continue through the interview questions for your 1098, you will come to a screen titled Did you pay points in 2022 when you took out the loan? and there is a check box to mark that you paid points.  Be sure to mark the answer that applies to your type of loan.  The next screen gives you the opportunity to answer that the points are reported on the 1098 and enter the amount.

Thank you Alicia. Somehow I missed this the first time around. When I went back to do it and continued past the screen I shared, I saw the question about points. Much appreciated.
