The original statement was "I had to go to Schedule A, quick in the box below Line 8 on the "QuickZoom to Home Mortgage Interest Worksheet," and then fill in the information about my client's mortgage amount and interest paid by hand"  which made it sound that Arnie just entered the amount of interest on Schedule A without using the worksheet. Unless it was not clear in what he wrote, yes, you do need to enter the information in the worksheet.  How else can the interest limitation be calculated without entered the beginning and ending indebtedness and months of loan during the year?
