Why isn't TT transfering the mortgage interest that I entered to the Schedule A?

[reichr]

I have plenty of deductions such that TT is using itemized deductions not standard deduction.  I inputted the mortgage interest in the Q&A portion, but it's just not getting through the whole process.

It has to do with how you answer the questions. Mortgage interest is only deductible when used to buy, build, or improve your home. 

Review your answers and check:

1. the secured by a property of mine
2. careful when selecting:
   • yes used the loan only on the home I took it out on or 
   • No, I used some of all on something different. Enter the amount used for the house.
