Where do you declare as a real estate professional in Turbo Tax Software

[REbyNite]

I met the IRS qualification as a real estate professional. Where in Turbo Tax software (step by step process) do I declare (elect) that?

The "election" is located in the (Step-by-Step process) Rental Properties and Royalties section. Click the Federal Taxes tab, click Wages & Income, scroll down to Rental Properties and Royalties and then click the Start button. 

During the "Rental" interview, you will be presented with a page identical to the one that appears in the screenshot below. Tick both boxes and click Continue.
