I paid last year $9883 as mortgage interest and is there a reason why I don't see this amount in the deductions?, I see only 24,000 but is not adding up this $9.8K

Do you have other itemized expenses? Charitable donations, medical expenses more than 7.5% of your AGI?

Unless your mortgage interest and other itemized expenses added up to more than $24,000, you will not see any benefit from the mortgage interest which is why you would not be seeing it.  The $24,000 is the standard deduction for Married Filing Jointly. You will either get the Standard Deduction or the Itemized Deduction, you cannot get both.
