Form 1098, Mortgage Interest Statement
Use Form 1098 to report mortgage interest of $600 or more received by you during the year in the course of your trade or business from an individual, including a sole proprietor. Report only interest on a mortgage as defined in the Instructions for Form 1098. Also use Form 1098 to report mortgage insurance premiums of $600 or more for the calendar year received by you from individuals in the course of your trade or business.
The $600 threshold applies separately to each mortgage; thus, file a separate Form 1098 for each mortgage. You may, at your option, file Form 1098 to report mortgage interest of less than $600, but you are subject to the rules in the Instructions for Form 1098.
If an overpayment of interest on an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) or other mortgage was made in a prior year and you refund (or credit) such overpayment, you may have to file Form 1098 to report the refund (or credit) of the overpayment.
