The Smart Worksheet is calculating the correct amount and to see if there are limitations. However, it is not adding it into the total amount for mortgage insurance, mortgage points and mortgage insurance premiums. The hard copy of 2018 Schedule A doesn't have a place for mortgage insurance premiums.

2017 Schedule A has a line 13 and it is for mortgage insurance premiums.

"Mtg. premium ins. deduction has been extended for 2018" What is your authority for this? Most of us believe it was not extended.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

This seems to be the most popular misconceptions of the 2018 tax years.

It has been extended but the software has not been updated yet. What is the holdup?

for mortgage insurance premiums.
