Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, it appears your calculations are correct.  If TurboTax isn't using the limit correctly, you can do some things to make sure the limit is used correctly.

 

  1. Manually adjust the rental interest: Since TurboTax incorrectly applies the full 17,679, you may need to override the rental interest deduction to 10,607 in the Schedule E section.
  2. Track the carryforward manually: TurboTax does not automatically carry forward disallowed rental expenses in this scenario. You may need to manually track the 7,072 and apply it in future years.
  3. Use the Forms Mode (Desktop Version): If you're using TurboTax Desktop, you can access Forms Mode, which allows direct entry into Schedule E and Schedule A. This might give you more control over the numbers.
