So state and federal tax returns have been filed, checks have been sent, amounts are neither here nor there.

Today in the mail I get a corrected 1098 in the mail from my mortgage holder with a little note to the effect of "Oops" my January '09 payment was posted on 12/31/08 so the interest portion of my Jan payment was not included in my '08 1098.

The difference is about $1350.

A few questions. Is the net effect on my return enough to bother with it? How do I address this? Can I somehow just get it credited towards next year's return? I don't want to give them any more money than I have to. I'll give my accountant a call tomorrow but figured I'd get some ideas first.
