Deductions & credits

If you rent out 30% of your home, be sure that your business use is 30% in the Property Profile.

 

Your Schedule E Worksheet should show the total Mortgage Interest in Column A, the 30% amount allocated to the Rental in Column C, and the Personal % in Column E.

 

On Schedule A, you should see the personal portion of your Mortgage Interest on Line 8a.  You shouldn't enter anything in the Personal portion; the totals are entered in the Rental section, and the personal % is transferred over.  If you have no amount on Line 8a of Schedule A, try deleting/re-entering your numbers in the Rental section.
