How do you record a business interest deduction on Schedule E?

[edmonson4321]

The instructions for line 28, schedule E are specific, but the only way I could put this on the Turbo tax Schedule E form was to "override", so now your Analysis is telling me this should not be overridden and changed for Electronic Filing.  How do I fix this?  See the IRS instructions attached.

That line on the Schedule E is for Partnerships or Corporations which would come from entering K1 information. If you paid interest on a rental and want to deduct it as an expense, this is how to do it:

• Rental
• Rental & Royalty Summary...edit your rental
• Expenses
• After Mortgage interest is the page "Any Other interest Paid?"
• This will be on Schedule E Part I line 13
