Get your taxes done using TurboTax

How do you fix this if you are NOT a real estate professional, but rather you're claiming active loss because you run an STR (<7 days average rental period and material participation; but still not providing hotel like services so it wouldn't go on a Schedule C).

 

I guess you could trick the software by just saying you're a Real Estate Professional (similarly, you could trick the software into saying the loss appeared on Box 1), but both seem unsafe. For example, even though the federal Schedule E would end up looking the same, this might make a difference on some state forms.

 

It would be far better for TurboTax to just fix the bug.
