Looking at my finished forms I see mortgage interest deducts for my rental property but none for primary home...can you verify?

[Earl55]

Rental was 50-50 with personal this year and was calculated correctly.

[Earl55]

Never take the std deduction, always itemized...

[CherylW]

I can't verify that because I can't see your forms, but have you entered 100% in your Rental property, then had the program allocate it 50%?

[Earl55]

yes entered 100% of rental mort interest and TTax split it out 50-50...is it possible to find out if primary mort interest was entered and if not can I amend form so I get that plus 50% from personal use of rental?

[CherylW]

Can you look at all your forms in your return?
Your personal mortgage interest will be on line 10 of your Schedule A, which you'll only be able to see if you pay.

[Earl55]

Can I amend return and re-enter the mortgage interest for all properties again to see if TT software will correct the problem?  Have over $15K but only a small part of that was on filed SCH A ...

[CherylW]

If you've already filed with your mortgage interest, then No, don't amend and re-file with the same interest.  If you've got over 15k, then it should be $7.5k on both, subject to your other limits.  Go to Sch A, line 10, and check.
And why did you file your return if you knew it wasn't right?

[Earl55]

amt on line 10 was 6100.00, apx half of the rental interest...had addtl 3K interest on primary res that didn't get applied...was unaware that tax forms could be previewed before paying/ filing...maybe there should be a prompt for this in the software??..

[CherylW]

ok so everything's right, correct?

[Earl55]

No...My issue still that amt on line 10 should be $9540.00, not $6121.00 as calculated by TurboTax---We had 3ea 1098's...
50% of Rental mort interest = 6121.00
Wells Fargo mort#1 interest = 1144.00
Wells Fargo mort#2 interest = 2275.00

[CherylW]

Where did you put the 1144 and 2275?

[Earl55]

Entered 9540.00 in TT worksheet but it came out in final form as 6121.00...question is how to fix...believe I need to amend the return...

[CherylW]

If you've already sent it in then you do need to amend it.
From shat I understand, you're not being allowed the 1144 and 2275 paid on your personal residence.
Enter that as an extra deduction under Your Home on your amended return.

[Earl55]

Can you confirm this was due to entry error of some kind and not a Turbo Tax software issue?

[CherylW]

No, it's not a software problem, it sounds like the 144 and 2275 wasn't entered under Your Home on the Deductions & Credits side.
