Question

If only box 1 is filled out on my 1098, what do I do? T.T. won't let me continue.

I have never before had to enter more than Box 1 (mortgage interest) from a 1098. Now, I'm being required to enter Box 3 (mortgage origination date) and Box 2 (outstanding mortgage principal), but I don't have those numbers from my lender.

If your balance is less than $750,000 it doesn't matter. Enter an approximate date and balance. If over $750,000, you want the total of your mortgage interest that is allowable. See Sched A line 8 instructions here.
