2018 MIP not computing.  I had clients who didn't get the deduction last year either due to Pro Series Screw Up.  In the mean time, I'm holding for someone to answer the phone.  How do I get it to compute?

You will not as it has not been extended for 2018 here. They only have it there in case it gets extended or its there as some states did not conform to Federal guidelines.

This is why the support hold times are so long.  Folks really need to do a little bit of homework before they start blaming the software for their own lack of tax knowledge.

I've done my homework and have waited for Proseries to update 2018 program for the MIP deduction, but nothing yet.

As you can see, it was changed in December of 2019, retroactive back to 2018 taxes.  Maybe you should do your homework before trying to make an ass out of a fellow tax preparer who actually was correct and you were not!!

It was extended late last year (not a PS screwup), you can still amend the 2017 return for PMI.  

It was not extended for 2018 though.
