Question

How to correct Turbo Tax incorrect calculation of the total home acquisition debt on the date it was secured? Looks like they combined refinance with original debt.

the amount is greyed out but I do have the option to add grandfathered debt to get acquisition total. Should I update with original refinance amount?

Are you entering only an original loan and a refinance loan?  Please clarify.  Are you seeing the greyed out amount in the Review process?

 

In TurboTax Online Deluxe, I was able to enter a home loan on an IRS form 1098 and the second IRS form 1098 for the refinanced loan.  For the refinanced loan, I used the balance of the loan at the time of loan pay-off. 

 

I was given the full mortgage interest deduction and the Home Mortgage Interest Limitation Worksheet did not add the two mortgage balances together.

 

The entries were made at Federal / Deductions & Credits / Mortgage Interest (Form 1098).

 

Entries for the original loan

 

Do any of these uncommon situations, I entered None of these apply.

Did you pay points, I entered I’ve already deducted.

Was this loan paid off or refinanced, I entered Yes.

Is this loan a home equity, I entered No, this is the original loan.

 

Entries for the second loan

 

Do any of these uncommon situations, I entered None of these apply.

Did you pay points, I entered I didn’t pay points.

Was this loan paid off or refinanced, I entered No.

Is this loan a home equity, I entered Yes, this is a loan I’ve refinanced.

So what type of loan is it? I entered A mortgage loan that I’ve refinanced.

Have you ever pulled cash? I entered No.
