Where do I get my 1098 mortgage interest form?

Look for Form 1098, which reports your mortgage info. For most people, this will have everything you need to get the Mortgage Deduction.

You should have received a Form 1098 showing the amount from your bank or loan company. If you did not receive this form but still paid interest, enter the amount in the Other interest paid field.

You should receive your 1098 either in the mail or electronically. If you don't have it by January 31, contact your mortgage lender. Escrow statements or loan documents may also come in handy.

This applies to a mortgage on a property for business purposes only, not for an office in your home.
