Never received a 1098 before even though we bought in 2009.  Not sure how to proceed with this?

According to IRS Pub 936 Mortgage Interest  page 5, "Any interest (including original issue discount) accrued on a reverse mortgage is considered home equity debt and isn’t deductible."

So, if you received a 1098 for your reverse mortgage, this is not reportable or deductible.
