Mortgage Interest 1098 forms?
I bought my first home in March last year. I got a mortgage from a local company and had them for a few months until they sold my policy to Wells Fargo. I don't know much about claiming stuff on taxes being I always filed 1040ez forms. Now that I have a home myself I heard I could claim mortgage interest. Is that true? If so, do I claim both 1098 forms? Not only did I get mailed one from my original lender, I downloaded the 1098 form from Wells Fargo. The numbers are higher on this form by double. I've been doing my taxes through H&R Block online for years, but in the help section doesn't say anything about 2 forms. What should I do?
