When will TurboTax be updated to allow for the PMI deductions on 2017 return? I saw on a different thread that they will be updating to allow for that itemized deduction

[Opus 17 · Accepted solution]

Turbotax was updated to allow the deduction for mortgage insurance premiums as of February 22, 2018.  It's included in the entry for mortgage interest.

Remember that the usual rules still apply: there are income limits, and pre-paid lump sum amounts must be spread out over 84 months, you can only deduct the number of months worth that you paid in 2017.  (Up front lump sum amounts for the VA funding fee and Rural Housing Authority are fully deductible, and monthly premiums are fully deductible.)

Wonderful! Thank you so much for the info!

My tax payable is not changing by a cent whether I put 0 in the PMI or 20K. Could you please confirm if the upgrade is working correctly?

TurboTax cannot update their forms, schedules or worksheets until the IRS has completed their updates.

Since the spending bill with the tax extenders has just been passed and signed into law, both the IRS and tax preparation software companies have to change various forms, schedules, worksheets and calculations to conform with the extenders in the bill.  It will be several weeks before anything is finalized at the IRS and with the TurboTax software which must also be approved by the IRS after they have completed their own system configurations.
