@Marketstar Somewhat related...I can't find this question, so hope you can help me too. I am using Deluxe and expect my not using Home and Business might be causing this odd behavior. I've tried to manually split the 2019 property tax I paid between Sched A and E and for the most part I've been successful. Only problem (that doesn't seem to affect the outcome on 1040) is the balance of the portion that isn't claimed on Sched E (I rented 1 room (25%) for only 1 month in 2019) is showing up in Schedule E's Schedule A Smart Worksheet under D Real estate taxes - vacation home. It is not a vacation home. I didn't answer anything in the interview that indicated I have a vacation home. I only rented the one room in December 2019. I lived in the house as my Principal Residence for the entire year. I filled out Days rented at fair rental value - 31 and Days for personal use - 334. Under Owner-Occupied Rentals I did not check to allocate personal use items to Schedule A since I couldn't get that to work and opted to calculate and input the numbers directly. On line Q Percentage of rental use I put 25.00%. It won't allow me to move the value from Vacation Home to Principal residence and so it gets carried to other worksheets but Schedule A has accurate number on line 5b. Can I fix Schedule E's Schedule A Smart Worksheet? If not, does it matter?
