Hi-client has a second home . 73 days rental 14 days personal. The 14 days exceeds the 10% threshold

so it becomes a vacation home instead of full rental. I put all the expenses on Schedule E and it allocates

the correct percentage of everything (84%) but I can't seem to get the program to allocate the 16% balance to schedule A for the mortgage interest. It does populate it for the real estate taxes. I have type 3 -vacation short term rental selected and 73 and 14 for the rental/ personal days. 

    Anyone know what I am doing wrong?  I've tried checking the tax court method nothing changes . If I check the owner occupied box it does allocate but gets an error saying this is a vacation home.  I've tried using the 1098 and still no luck.

    Does it have to be done manually? Thanks in advance.
