I discovered that my solution isnt quite right.
First how I got around the problems of double counting the auto personal property tax deductions:
- Delete auto worksheet in all the sch E, noting the deduction for mileage (standard mileage + fractional property tax/VLF fee)
- Enter directly into the sch E the deduction for auto the amount from the auto worksheet. You can enter directly once you delete hte auto worksheet
- then in the worksheet where you claim the personal property tax for auto, put in the remainder of the personal property tax e.g. auto VLF - portions claimed in sch E
The problem with this solution is that it no longer generates a depreciation form for the mileage used on the rentals. And I havent found anyway to get it to print out since turbotax thinks it is not needed.
