I bought my house by a quit claim deed. And they want my mortgage interest and I don't have a mortgage company. It won't let me explain this

If you don't have a mortgage, just continue through without entering anything. You don't need to go back and report how you purchased the house.

I thought they wanted a loan that I took out so I put the company name in the loan was for other things it won't let me go back because I pay house taxes, which I had to enter but I owe my home.

It depends. You should have an amortization schedule if you are purchasing from an individual making payments. The interest would still be considered mortgage interest. However, if you paid for the house outright then you have no mortgage interest to use.

Use the link below to go back to the mortgage interest screens in TurboTax.

Where do I enter my 1098 mortgage interest statement?

Please update here is you have more questions and we will help.

I thought I had to put in a loan I got but I own my home and the loan was not to buy my home. But because I pay property taxes it won't let me move forward? Thank You 😊

Yes

I would advise you to remove the property taxes and then go back to remove the mortgage interest. Once the mortgage interest is removed, then take the following steps if you are using TurboTax Online before you add back the property taxes.
