I received a 1098 substitute form in the amount of $2000 for interest on an investment property loan. Funny thing is, I sold that property on Dec 30, 2005. So for my 2005 tax return, I submitted a form 4797 for the sale of the property. So maybe the loan wasn’t paid off right away and interest accumulated in 2006. The 2006 interest must have been paid from the closing costs… after the closing on Dec 30, I did not personally pay for any additional expenses on the property. So how do I report what would normally be a business expense of $2000 for a property that I never owned in 2006? Or maybe I should not include the 1098 in my 2006 return since I did not pay anything on that loan in 2006???

Thanks for any good advice.
