TurboTax is not permitting me to deduct short-term rental losses against W2 income
I purchased a short-term rental property in 2022 which I self-manage. Based on the research I've completed, I believe I should be using Schedule E and any losses from last year can be used to offset my W2 income since I materially participate in the management of the property and the average guest stay was below 7 nights.
I have populated Schedule E in TurboTax however none of my losses are being applied against my other income. I see no option in TurboTax to change this within Schedule E. I have shared this issue with three different TurboTax CPA's, and no one has been able to help me. I do not believe I should be using Schedule C because I do not provide substantial services to guests, but it is a non-passive activity which should be reported on Schedule E and as a result the losses should be carried over to my 1040. Can anyone help me with this?
