@Critter#2 One more question, but before I get to it-
1) Do I check the box that says ""the interest amount is different from what on my 1098" if I manually allocate interest between sch e and sch a?
2) To add a wrench in this whole thing, once the property was converted to a personal residence, I used it as my home office. The "job related expenses" portion of TT asks for the property address and also asks for the mortgage interest and property taxes paid. Do I give them the totals for these two items for the portion of the time it was a personal residence (ie $5k?).
