I have 2 rental properties i entered expenses for each property but turbo tax allowed me to deduct the losses on one property and zero for 2nd one.what am i doing wrong

[hkhal4321]

my first rental property has  -11390

2nd rental property has loss: -37600

under section of property and loss result  turbo tax shows allowed losses -11300 but zero for the 2nd property.

Check to be sure that your answers to the questions about active participation and being a real estate professional were answered the same way for both properties.

Well.Turbo tax first verifies the answers to participation and being a real state professional before you elect to edit entries of any rental property.so yes, I did verify it.Thanks

The "active participation" TTAnnette refers to is per-rental and is a checkbox/question on each of them. Check the 2nd property for the answer to that question.

Thanks very much.it worked.

If you have more than one rental property and you are not being allowed to take a loss on each one, then you should double-check the answers to the "active participation" and "real estate professional" questions.

To do this, edit each property one at a time to verify your answers.
