Assume that the Form 1098 in Exhibit 5-5 was for Jose and Maria Ramirez and had $7,300 on line 1. To enter the $7,300 on line 8a of Schedule A, you must enter the amount on a Form 1098. Enter the $7,300 on line 1, and it will automatically be transferred to Schedule A. Save the Ramirezes return for future use.
