Schedule C - Refinanced mortgage, and TurboTax is only bringing in original Loan interest.

[eaglei22]

When adding home office expenses to Schedule C, there are two mortgage lenders that show up in the box for the, "Mortgage interest or points" page.  This is accurate as I refinance my home in August of 2021. 

The original lender is at the top, and only the interest from this lender is carried over to the mortgage interest on the, "Tell us about ***'s Home expenses" Page.  Why isn't the interest from the new refinance loan coming in too? Do I need to adjust this somewhere else?

Yes, you will want to adjust how your 1098s are entered into TurboTax. 

When you have multiple Forms 1098 for the same loan, whether it was refinanced or sold to another lender, you should combine all of the 1098s directly related to the refinance and enter it as one 1098.  Any 1098s not directly related to the refinance should get entered separately.

Follow these steps to enter your mortgage info:

1. Gather all of your 1098 forms related to your refinance (the form from your original lender and the form from your new lender).
2. Grab a calculator and add together the box 1 amount from each form. Enter the total in TurboTax as Box 1 Mortgage interest.
3. Add the Box 5 amount from each form and enter the total as Box 5 Mortgage insurance premiums. (If you weren’t required to pay mortgage insurance, these boxes will be blank on your forms and you won’t enter anything.)
4. Add the property tax paid from each form and enter it in the Property (real estate) taxes box.

Next, finish adding info for boxes 2, 3, 7, and 11 using Form 1098 for the original loan.
