Screen 8828 - Federal Mortgage Recapture (1040)

Overview

Use this screen to complete Form 8828, Recapture of Federal Mortgage Subsidy. The calculated amount is included on Form 8828 on the total taxes line of Schedule 2 (Form 1040) with the literal "FMSR."
Taxpayers don't have to recapture any benefit if their mortgage loan was a qualified home improvement loan of not more than $15,000. This is increased to $150,000 if the loan was provided prior to 2011 and was used to alter, repair, or improve an existing owner-occupied residence damaged by reason of a federally-declared disaster.

Enter the date the original federally subsidized loan was fully repaid. This may be the same as the date of sale or other disposition of interest in the home.

Use this field to enter any expenses incurred in selling the home allocable to the taxpayer's interest in the home. Don't include expenses incurred while preparing the home for sale.
