are you sure that the additional interest is not included on the 1098?
if you're entering the 1098 you can add the additional real estate taxes to what's on the 1098, if any. remember to reduce what you paid and were charged on closing by any credit you got on the purchase.
. If you sold your home for less than $250,000 but held it for less than a year, you are not eligible for the capital gain exclusion You may need to report the sale on your tax return if you have a capital gain. if sold for $250K or more you need to report it even if a loss. A loss is not deductible. this should be automatic if you use the home sale worksheet.
