Investors & landlords

Thank you for your reply.  I was away for work and just got free to try what you suggest.  Unfortunately, when doing the interview process with Turbo Tax Online it doesn't ask me about being a real estate professional.  I'm wondering if I have to indicate that somewhere else.  To help everyone better understand I documented the steps in the interview process to help explain what I'm seeing.  This is for the Online version of Turbo Tax if that makes a difference.  I apologize in advance for the long post

 

Wife and I are filing together and we both have our own K-1's.  We only have 1 property in the LLC and this is our only property and LLC.

 

Steps  in interview

  1. Added K-1 for Rental Activity
  2. Selected that the K-1 was for me and not my wife
  3. Indicated I was General Partner
  4. Indicated I was a Domestic Partner
  5. Indicated my ownership was 50% (wife has her own K-1,  same as mine)
  6. Entered my liability share
  7. Entered the Capital Account Information
  8. Indicated that K-1 was for Rental Activity -Box 2
  9. Indicated that I actively participated
  10. Indicated no special handling of Rental Activities
  11. Input the Rental Real Estate Loss in Box 2
  12. Input that Boxes 19 and 20 had Amounts
  13. Input the amount from Box 19 (Other property) which was very small
  14. Input the amount from Box 20 (Business interest expense) which was very small
  15. Input the amount from Box 20 (Section 199A) which happens to equal Line 2 amount and very large
  16. Described the partnership - all my investment is at risk, I pay for expenses in which I'm not reimbursed
  17. Entered my unreimbursed expenses (car mileage basically)
  18. Indicated no personal asset information used for business
  19. Indicated no Section 179 carryover
  20. Indicated no transportation, travel or meals expenses paid
  21. Indicated no gifts, education or publications expenses paid
  22. Indicated miscellaneous supplemental expenses for a portion of cell phone bill for me
  23. Indicated no personal expenses reimbursed
  24. Indicated all Section 199A income comes from partnership for K-1
  25. Added in all the Section 199A income, which was basically the Line 2 rental income/loss
  26. Indicated No uncommon adjustments
  27. Indicated my income will not exceed $329,800 so additional info needed

- That's it - nothing more

 

I didn't see the query asking about being a real estate professional.

 

I wonder what I'm missing.  Is the problem with the Online version?  Again, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
