I refinanced my home on 12/28 and now I have 3 different 1098's 1 from my lender with the mortgage interest paid this year and 2 from the title co. 1 with points paid at closing, and 1 with what looks like 1 house payments worth of interest on principal and no points. Do I enter all three of these individuals? Am I supposed to have 3 1098's?

Yes, you can have multiple lender 1098's reporting interest, points or both. Enter them one at time in the Your Home section. To navigate to the section:

In your open return, select My Account
Tools
Topic Search
Type '1098' in the box, then select GO

You should land on the Mortgage deduction summary page if you have previously entered a 1098. If not, add your 1st 1098.

After entering your 1st 1098, select the 'Add a lender' button at the bottom of the summary page and repeat steps for the additional 1098 forms. If the same lender is listed on more than one form, differentiate somehow. Ex: Bankfirst and Bankfirst points.

See attached example.
