Business & farm

The online versions of TT are not quite as flexible as the desktop versions; allowing to enter directly on a form.

My recommendation is to go into the applicable K-1 and go through the questions.  As you address each screen, there should be a question regarding using debt to purchase your interest or something to that effect.  This may require going into a "not common expense" section or something to that effect.

This is where you would enter that interest expense.

The interest expense should then be reflected on a separate line on your Schedule E titled "business interest".

I would then remove the box 20 entry input.
