I purchased a rental home in October 2023 and paid $3,095 in points. Turbo Tax does not prompt me to enter this information anywhere. This should be ammmortized I believe over the life of the loan. Where do I enter this $3,095? Thanks.

    Yes, you are correct.  The amortization is entered as an asset and you select the information noted below.

     

    1. Sign into your TurboTax Account > Search (upper right) > Type rentals > Press enter > Click on the Jump to .... Link
    2. Edit beside the rental you want to work on > Scroll to Assets > Edit
    3. Select Yes to go directly to the asset summary >
    4. Add or Edit the asset for the loan refinance costs > Select Intangibles, Other Property > Continue
    5. Select Amortizable intangibles > Continue > Enter the details about your costs including the refinance date
    6. Continue > Select the Code Section 163 for loan fees > Enter the useful life (number of months of the loan)
    7. The final screen will show the deduction.
