You can get your mortgage info by going to your lender's website. Other documents, like your monthly mortgage bills and your Closing Disclosure (or HUD-1), will also have some of this information. Your lender should send you a 1098 by January 31.
Failing to provide a copy to the borrower: As mentioned earlier, mortgage lenders must provide a copy of Form 1098 to the borrower by January 31st of the year following the tax year. Failing to provide a copy can lead to penalties and interest charges.
No form is issued if you have no net qualified charges. Forms are not required for students whose scholarships, grants or third-party payments meet or exceed qualified charges.
Use Form 1098, Mortgage Interest Statement, to report mortgage interest (including points, defined later) of $600 or more you received during the year in the course of your trade or business from an individual, including a sole proprietor. Report only interest on a mortgage, defined later.
If you are required and you do not file electronically, you may be subject to a penalty of up to $100 per 1098 form.
If you itemize your deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040), only include the personal part of your deductible mortgage interest on Schedule A (Form 1040), lines 8a or 8b.
