What is my mortgage year end statement?
A mortgage year end statement is a statement that is provided by a lender to a borrower at the end of the calendar year. This statement provides an overview of the borrower's mortgage account, including the amount of interest paid, the principal balance, and the loan's payoff date.
How do I report 1098 on my tax return? If you received a 1098 form from your mortgage lender, you'll need to report the information from that form on your tax return. The 1098 form will show how much interest you paid on your mortgage over the course of the year, and you can deduct that amount from your taxes.
To report the 1098 information on your tax return, you'll need to fill out Schedule A (Form 1040). This is the form where you itemize your deductions, and you'll find a section specifically for mortgage interest. Enter the amount of interest you paid from your 1098 form in this section, and then you can claim the deduction on your taxes.
