Deductions & credits

Thank you for the suggestion but it doesnt work.  The reason is that the fraction of auto property tax in Sch E is a calculated value in the Sch E auto worksheet based on the fraction of mileage used.  So if you want to combine the 2 properties, you would add the mileage from both properties and just enter it into 1 of the properties.  If you enter just 1 of the property's mileage and not for the other, then the form 4562 which populates the mileage from Sch E is wrong.  One would print out, the other wouldnt.  My solution does not generate the 4562, but is otherwise correct. Your solution generates either 1 correct 4562 and not the other, or generates a wrong 4562 if the mileage is combined.
