It is by the law that we are supposed to get the 1098 by Jan 31 for the interests paid for the year. It is two weeks past. When I called, they said I would just have to wait until I get it but I can't just wait indefinitely. Worst part is that two representatives hung up on me. Third person gave me a phone number that supposedly handles mailing out 1098, and what do you know? It is a non-working number. It is a common knowledge that the government workers are no more than glorified welfare people, and they seem to act just that. Shame that's where part of our tax money goes.
