I did enter my rental information first and am on a downloaded version of the software, not a web version, so I don't know how to wipe any cookies that could affect that. Is there a way to do that that I am not aware of? Also, in looking at the actual tax forms on Schedule A, line 5b matches the amount that the software calculated from the % of the property that is a rental, but then line 8a is showing the inflated amount calculated by TT rather than the amount listed on the form 1098. The only rental issue TT warned me of as I answered the EasyStep questions was to not repeat any property tax claimed in the rental (which doesn't apply to me because I don't have it bundled in the mortgage so that line is 0 anyway on the 1098). There was never a place in the rental information for me to enter mortgage interest information so it makes sense that it should all be entered on Schedule A line 8a, but I want to be sure that I do it correctly. If I understand you correctly, I should take the total amount of Mortgage Interest listed on the 1098 and subtract the amount from Schedule E line 12. The difference of those two numbers should be the amount that I enter into Schedule A line 8a?
