Thanks again PaulaM!
That is exactly what I did several times on both Premier and Home and Business (I upgraded thinking that might be the issue). it doesn't want to go here..."Continue to next page and select radio button Transfer these fees for me to Other Expenses."..... Even when I had the TurboTax guy (on the phone , accessing my screen). We finally just bypassed the Interview and input it straight to the forms. He couldn't understand why either. The same thing happened to my purchase of a dishwasher which is under the $2500 safe harbor election, it placed it as an asset, as well, even though I told it that I want to take the full expense option.....so while am confident that I have it correct on the forms now, it won't work in the interview process.
I tried to make a scenario on the "Online Version" of Home and Business, and it worked exactly as you showed. Which is why I upgraded.
This has definitely been frustrating and a head scratcher.....
