Thanks! That worked! I hadn't noticed that the interest amount on that worksheet was editable.
That said -- it's annoying to have to come up with a work-around for a tax law that went into effect 3 tax return cycles ago. It's particularly frustrating because TT seems to have changed their approach on this point this year; in the last two years, it just flagged that I needed to go look at the IRS publication and then invited me to put in the number that I calculated to be the correct deduction. This year, I was really hopeful that they'd figured out how to automate it (since I no longer had the option to input the value myself), only to realize when double-checking the way the form had filled in the numbers, that it was materially haircutting my deduction, with no real explanation. Anyway, thanks to GWR08 for the help and I hope TT figures out a way to fix this issue before this limitation rolls off in 2025!
