Investors & landlords

I'm using TurboTax Business Edition to prepare my LLC partnership return for Year 2021, and have two cases involving residential real estate rental properties both of which need to  claim remaining amortization: 1) early payoff of a mortgage 2) sale of a mortgaged property.  I would expect that the steps needed for each of these cases would be the same.  What I'm not seeing with this newest version of TurboTax Business Edition are the prompts/screen for Special Handling to which you refer.  After reading all of the discussion items, I'm left wondering why it  wouldn't be best for me to just add a Miscellaneous Expense item under General Expenses of my own making that calls out "Remaining amortization due to mortgage payoff" or "Remaining amortization due to sale of mortgaged property" with the corresponding amount of  remaining amortization, rather than trying to figure out how to get TurboTax to do this.  (In my case, the most frustrating thing and point of confusion is just knowing what TurboTax Business is supposed to be doing, and whether it is working or not, ie. where is remaining amortization supposed to show up and how to get TurboTax to do this... once I understood that TurboTax wasn't automatically handling this, and that all I needed to do was to an additional miscellaneous expense line to capture the cost, then adding the additional miscellaneous expense line manually is no biggy... if indeed my understanding is correct and that's all there is to it.)
