How do I make sure I don't double dip on mortgage interest and property tax deduction
I live in my primary residence and rent out 2 / 5 bedrooms ~12% space in house rented.
For 2022 I am itemizing and worried about Double dipping on the mortgage interest and property tax deduction on Schedule A and a Schedule E.
So far for Schedule A I put in the full numbers sent on the 1098 form for mortgage interest and the property tax value of all the payments I made to the county in 2022. For Schedule E I computed the amounts corresponding to the rental and it is pretty small I entered them in the rental property section. Would I go back to the Schedule A data I entered and subtract off the amounts I put in the rental section to insure no double dipping.
For property tax I am above the salt limit of 10k and the amount allocated to the rental subtracted from the total amount isn't below the 10k limit am I allowed to double dip here?
