Property Tax entry incorrect, doubles, then triples amount I type in

Under Deductions & Credits, I entered in my amount for Property Taxes @ $10,000, this was pulled in from mortgage bank 1098 import
Then, under Home Office, it says to enter in real estate taxes for the entire home, again same $10,000, it will figure out credit for home office.
Now, under Deductions & Credits, it says I paid $20,000 in taxes, which I did not. I only paid $10,000 total.
Summary of Office Expenses shows $0 real estate taxes for home office which does not match Deductions & Credits page
Under Deductions & Credits, if I click on Property Taxes Y2021 column $20,000 number, it shows Real Estate taxes paid on principal residence = $10,000
AND
Real estate tax reported on Form 1098 = $10,000
That's a bug as it lists it twice.

Every attempt to fix/edit the entry fails

If I click Update that number, it states I Paid $20,000 in property taxes on my HOME OFFICE, which I did not.
It says you can adjust that amount, but you can't.

If I Remove/Delete the $10,000 entry = Property Taxes and click Continue, and go back to Under Deductions & Credits page, it now shows $30,000 in taxes! Bug

Go back to Change entry again and it now shows $30,000 in the Property Taxes box. This is not valid nor correct.

Huge bug.

There are multiple places to enter the same information, but it should only be entered once.

If you enter your home office deduction and enter the property taxes there you should not enter it again when you get to the 1098-INT form.

Check here first:

Select Federal from the left side menu.
Select Deductions and Credits toward the upper left.
Expand the list and scroll down to Mortgage Interest and Refinancing (Form 1098)
Click Edit/Add to the right.
Click Edit to the right of your 1098 entry.
Click Continue until you get to the page that says, Let's get the details from your 1098, at the top.
Below box 5 you will see a box for Property (real estate) taxes.

You can edit this amount here.

If this box is blank, you need to go right to the Property tax section:

Select Federal from the left side menu.
Select Deductions and Credits toward the upper left.
Expand the list and scroll down to Property (Real Estate) Taxes.
Click Edit to the right.

You can edit the number here if the this the first place you entered it.
