You will still enter this information in the federal interview section of the program.  

  1. Select Deductions & Credits
  2. Select Mortgage Interest and Refinancing (Form 1098) 
  3. At the bottom of the next page, select Add another 1098
  4. Be sure to answer the questions carefully for each 1098 (if more than one form) to ensure you are able to claim all of the mortgage interest allowed.  

The interest portion of the home loan is typically deductible on your tax return if it is secured by your residence.  See the following link for more information as to when you can deduct your mortgage and any limits that could apply, if any.

Even though you cannot itemize on your federal return, all of your information entered here will flow into your state return.
