Deductions & credits
One thing you can do as mentioned earlier in this thread, is elect to aggregate 2 or more rental properties into a single activity. There's pros and cons to that and I highly suggest you "do your homework" before doing this, so you understand not just the benefit, but more importantly the potential consequences of aggregation.
While the program does not "directly" support aggregation, it can certainly be done manually in a way that allows you to still e-file. (i.e.; no overrides required.) But you must understand that once you aggregate two or more properties into a single activity, you can't change your mind or "go back" in a future year.
One of the potential downfalls of aggregation is that you can't "realize" any losses on the aggregated activity, until the tax year you have sold all (or the last) properties/assets of that aggregated activity.
