I filed with itemized deduction in 2020, my mortgage interest payment, loans points and property tax together exceeds $45k, but turbotax only took $20k towards itemized deductions, not sure why it is like this and please share any insights of max limits that count towards mortgage and property taxes.

taxes are limited to $10K

in certain situations, mortgage interest can be limited

we can't see your return mortgage interest for post 2018 would be limited to a max of $750K of debt but can be less in many circumstances

for pre-218 mortgages, the limit would be on $1million of debt but can also be limited to a lower amount in many situations

contact support to see if they can provide help. there would likely be a fee. if not you'll need a outside pro to review your data
