Wisconsin 2011: Mortgage Insurance
Taxpayers may include certain mortgage insurance premiums paid as a deduction on the federal Schedule A, Itemized Deductions. Wisconsin does not allow these mortgage insurance amounts to be included in the Wisconsin Itemized Deduction Credit calculation.
Certain customers, who included mortgage insurance premiums in their federal mortgage interest deduction, may have filed an incorrect Wisconsin tax return.
TurboTax has fixed this issue.
