Rental House Losses

[user17581156690]

Why is TurboTax not limiting my rental losses due to my income being over $150K?  I've inputted my data and the program is allowing my loss in the calculations and not giving me an error when performing the tax return review.  This only came to light in discussions with a tax professional.  I would think that TurboTax would have flagged this as an error in Schedule E.  Can someone help me understand?

The program seemingly things it is non-passive.

Was there personal use of the home?  Did you indicate you are a Real Estate Professional?  Were you entering information directly on the forms and checked the "other passive exceptions" box?  Did you sell the home?

Have you verified that your MODIFIED Adjusted Gross Income is over $150,000?

Yes, there was personal use of the home.  I am not, nor did I indicate, that I am a real estate professional.  I entered the data using the TurboTax (TT)  "guide me through" method and I did not see any check box for "other passive exceptions".  I did not sell the home.  

I went back through and followed the guidance to fill out the forms and checked everything.  The program is still allowing the losses and my modified AGI is well over $150K.  

There is a huge difference in refund value between what TT is saying and what my tax pro is saying.

Was it back-and-forth personal and rental?  Or was it 100% personal, then converted to 100% rental (or the other way around)?
