Were you expecting a mortgage interest certificate? I cannot see your return in this forum, but suspect the mortgage interest credit was triggered instead of mortgage interest expense.

 

From the left navigation pane, go to Federal>Deductions&Credits>scroll down to Mortgage Interest Credit. 

 

If you actually do not have this, click Edit next to this line>Remove by clicking on the Trash can Icon.

 

Instead, go to the mortgage interest expense. It is listed under the "Your Home" category and will follow the Form 1098 details.

 

After entering in all your details, TurboTax will automatically calculate the largest deductions for you.

Turbo Tax is telling me the same thing. I have a Mortgage Interest Credit Certificate and have for 5 years. It is also telling the form to claim this Form 8396 is not ready, but you can download it off the IRS website. 

Maybe the IRS is not letting people who claim this deduction to file yet.
