In general, you would expect a larger deduction to lower your tax liability. However, there are certain circumstances where that might not be the case.
For example, if your rental property has an overall gain and you are claiming the Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction, then entering additional expenses for your rental property is reducing your overall gain and also reducing your QBI deduction. Therefore, your balance due is higher because the QBI deduction is lower.
