    Please go over the entries you made when entering your 1098 mortgage interest statement.

    Pay special attention to the questions about the property securing the loan and outstanding mortgage balance.

    I think there is a problem with the software.  I have this issue also.

    It says you will get the full credit, but when the you do the final review, the credit is -0-,

    Review your total Itemized deductions. If the total amount is less than your Standard Deduction the program will deduct the Standard Deduction.

     

    The 2019 Standard Deductions are:

    • Single and Married Filing Separate - $12,400.
    • Married Filing Jointly and Qualified Widow - $24,800.
    • Head of Household - $18,050.
