New workflow with a major bug preventing entry of General & Other Deduction expenses in TurboTax Business 2025.

Unfortunately, there is a bug in TurboTax Business 2025 (downloaded 12/26/2025).  This bug prevents entries of expenses.  I do not see a work-around. This is a bad bug the prevents basic inputs to complete your taxes. It is hard to understand how this bug was not caught prior to the software release.

Prior to TurboTax Business 2025, for a rental property you entered General Expenses, which had pre-define categories, and then Other Rental Expenses where you manually listed other expenses. Now this “other expenses” section (also call "Other Deductions" in 2025), gives another list of pre-defined categories with no way to enter manually or to see last year’s manually expenses and update them.

Attempted, but failed work -around: I can open the "Schedule A Form 8825" and click Line 30 “Other” to manually added expenses.  However, the expenses added in Line 30 "Other", do NOT add into the total!  Also, there is no way to see the 2024 expenses via this form.

I have a good, more detailed write-up with screenshots, but I can not enter them in this format.  If an Intuit person has an email or secure upload link I can use I would be happy to send it.

Here is more accurate description of 2024 workflow vs 2025 (more accurate than the initial post).

Prior to TurboTax Business 2025, for a rental property, you entered General Expenses, which had pre-define categories, and then “other expenses” where you manually listed other expenses. This “other expenses” list used to be within General Expense, but it is no longer there in 2025.   In 2025, “other expenses” seems to be new section (like General Expense) called "Other Deductions".  This new "Other Deductions" section gives another list of pre-defined categories, but still no way to manually enter expenses or to see last year’s expenses and update them.

I agree 100%.  I cannot believe that there are not more complaints about this problem from other users of  TTaxBusiness.  Actually, this happened late in 2025 during an update.  I had started doing my rental tax return early in December and the categories similar to the 2024 software were still present and I could customize them.  Then an update came through and change that part.  In fact, some of my expenses were lost and it even affected my Balance Sheet.  Now, since I don't have any control over the customization of the categories in General Expenses, I have to put my expenses in categories that do not match to my expenses.  I worry that if/when Intuit fixes this problem, they are going to mess up my Balance Sheet once again!
