Limit Int/points on 1098. Somewhat complicated situation

Hi everyone. I was hoping to get some help here.  I'm renting 20% of my house and TurboTax calculated the mortgage tax deduction for my rental and allocated the rest as a mortgage deduction on the personal primary residence. The complication is that the average mortgage balance is greater than $750k limit. TurboTax automatically allocate the 80% of the entire mortgage interest amount to primary residence deduction, I need to limit this to follow IRS guidance. However, under "deduction" section the automatic allocation couldn't be changed. I am using TurboTax online.  As a result I'm having "Limit Int/points on 1098" error that I tried to enter following to no avail:

1. 0

2. Limited amount

3. Blank

4. Negative amount to bring the line transferred from Schedule E down to the limit

 

Still kicking errors. 

Thanks
