Investors & landlords

I selected the option where I will enter in only the rental property expenses instead of letting Turbo tax do it for me.

 

  So on the mortgage interest screen it asks to "Enter the rental portion of mortgage interest reported to you on Form 1098. We'll ask you to enter your personal portion later."  So on this screen do I enter in the rental portion only or do I enter in the total mortgage interest?  And if I do enter only the rental mortgage interest only do I check the box that "I paid more mortgage interest than is shown on my Form 1098"?  Since I am only entering in the rental mortgage amount.  Then do I enter the personal portion of the mortgage interest in the deductions sections and also check the amount that the mount entered is different then what is reported on the 1098?
