I rented my main residence for 7 months and then moved back in. I used the step by step method to enter my info and when completing, I reviewed the summary to find that my Mortgage interest was about 160% of the 1098 value. Turbo Tax automatically entered the personal use time of my home as 'vacation home' in the schedule E wks. Then in section 5 of Tax & Int wks it adds my full 1098 interest to the prorated personal use interest, which shows up in Sched A line 10. This is double counting the mortgage interest. I also don't want to show my main house as a vacation house. It's as though TT is taking my house into account 2 times, once as a main residence and again as a vacation/rental. The Forms are all messed up! How do I recover? TT will not allow my to change values in the forms directly and I've gone back through all the step by step questions and I don't see an error in my answers, but TT is clearly not calculating things the way it should.
