1098 from Co-op. Is debt secured (Box 7 & 8)?

The 1098 from our co-op does not check Box 7 nor does it have an address in Box 8. I do my own taxes using Turbo Tax because they are not very complicated. Without being considered “secured” Turbo Tax won’t deduct it. I’m wondering what other people have on their 1098s. I know people will say call the building manager but they are not very knowledgeable about this stuff. They or the accountants left Boxes 2 and 3 blank as well. They are telling people to put the full building mortgage in 2 which doesn’t make sense either.

That’s what I figured. I finally heard back from the manager and they said to check Box 7. They said their CPA never puts anything in those boxes.

Not a tax professional. I would be surprised if it wasn’t secured. I’d go with secured until they get back to you. If they don’t I would keep secured – Its not like this is a normal business, the business of this place is real estate and it owns (or leases) the land/building. Banks don’t go around lending unsecured to co-ops AFAIK – the shareholders, board members etc come and go but the collateral stays.

We need a new board as well! Any thoughts on if the mortgage is considered secured? I’m considering just checking the box and only dealing with it if the IRS comes calling.

It sounds like you need a new management company & building accountant quick!
