I can't enter my Rental expenses on my 2024 return

[SueJohnson]

In the past it asked me to enter my expenses. This year it didn't and I can't even enter them myself on Schedule E. 

This is obviously a Turbotax problem but I shouldn't have to pay to get a solution. Is there a phone number I could call to get help free?

Try using the step by step instructions in the link below. The expenses are there, you just need to select the ones you have, then select each one to enter the expense.

• Where do I enter income and expenses from a rental property?

It appears you're using TurboTax Desktop. Go to Federal Taxes >> Wages & Income >> Rental Properties and Royalties. If you have already entered a rental property, click Edit to review your entries. Otherwise, add a property by following the interview to set up a new rental property.

Depending on the version of TurboTax you are using, you should eventually arrive on the Rental Summary page. From this page you can enter Rental Income or Expenses (click Start/Update).

Note that your entries create a Schedule E Worksheet (a TurboTax worksheet, not an IRS form) that displays your entries. This worksheet can be manually edited for any field highlighted in yellow. When you set up a rental asset, that information is shown on the Asset Entry Worksheet.

The result of completing the Rental Property entries is reported on Schedule E page 1, Part I.
