After attempting to replicate the situation you described and failing to do so, it would be useful to have a diagnostic copy of your tax data file.  The diagnostic file will not contain personally identifiable information, only numbers related to your tax forms.     If you would like to provide us with the diagnostic file, follow the instructions below and post the token number along with which version of TurboTax you are using in a follow-up thread.   Use these steps if you are using TurboTax Online:   Sign in to your account and be sure you are in your tax return. Select Tax Tools in the menu to the left. Select Tools. Select Share my file with agent. A pop-up message will appear, select OK to send the sanitized diagnostic copy to us. Post the token number here.    If you are using a CD/downloaded version of TurboTax, use these steps:   Select Online at the top of the screen. Select Send Tax File to Agent. Click OK. Post the token number here.   If you are using a Mac version of TurboTax, use these steps:   Go to the Menu at the top of the screen and select Help. Then, Send Tax File to Agent.

No, you don't enter the full 1098 amount twice.  You should enter the interest expense in the "Rental Property" section following these steps:   If your rental property is located out-of-state, make sure you first set up that state properly in My Info (TurboTax Online) or Personal Info (TurboTax Desktop). That way, when you do your state taxes, we'll be ready to go. To enter your rental: TurboTax Desktop: Search for rentals and select the Jump to link or, Go to Federal Taxes. Go to Wages & Income. If asked, How do you want to enter your income?, select I'll choose what I work on. Under Rental Properties and Royalties, select Start or Update next to Rental Properties and Royalties (Sch E). Answer Yes to the question Did you have any income from rentals or royalties? On the next screen, Let's see if you're a real estate professional, select any options that apply to you. On the screen What are you here to report?, select Rental property and Continue. If you have more than one rental property to report, no problem—just start with one, and we’ll come back to the other one(s) later. On the following screens, enter all the info we need about your rental property, including a description of the property, your rental income, any expenses and assets, and other less common situations about your rental. Tip: Rent is considered income in the year you received it, not the year it applies to. This means that a rent payment for the month of January 2025 collected in December 2025 is reported on your 2025 return. If you're also filing a nonresident state return to report income from an out-of-state rental property, be sure to complete your nonresident state return before you prepare your resident state return when you get to the State taxes section.
