"If address of property securing mortgage is the same as PAYER'S/BORROWER'S address, the box is checked, or the address or description is entered in box 8."
Box 7 on my 1098 is not checked, but the address is entered in box 8. However, Turbotax does not have a box 8 on its form. If I leave box 7 unchecked, Turbotax does not deduct the interest, even though I know my interest is deductible. It is my only home and I live in it.
I have to check box 7 to get the deduction, even though it doesn't match the form. Please fix this by adding box 8 to the Turbotax form. This way, I can match the form I received AND get the deduction. I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out why my interest wasn't being deducted. I hate to think of all the people who may not notice this, and therefore not get the deduction.
