The rental when vacation home rule applied creates excess deductions (deduction cannot be taken in current year but can be carried forward to offset the rental income only per IRC 280A). The deductions can be:

- excess mortgage interest
- excess property tax
- other excess deduction

I don't use ProConnect, so unfortunately I can't answer your actual questions.  However, I suspect you are misunderstanding what it means by "excess" in this context.  It is not referring to deductions that can't be taken, it has to do with the interaction between Schedule E and the Standard Deduction or Itemized Deductions. 

Although it is mentioned on the Instructions of that worksheet in Publication 527, in my opinion it is a bit easier to understand what "excess" means if you look at the Instructions for Form 8829 (lines 10 and 11 versus lines 16 and 17).

EDIT:  As a side note, does this property really have over $31,000 of real estate tax?
