Form 2106

[A-White]

Hi, New to Taxes and Lacerte!

I'm trying to enter Form 2106 to account for standard mileage for a client that uses a little mileage to maintain two rental properties.

Specifically - I want the expense to be shown on part II of the Form

     Section A - Line 13. Then to be multiplied by $0.585/mile in Section B - Line 22.

When I jump to input from Line 13, I've got the mileage typed in with the business miles but no amount gets brought into the form. 

Any ideas on what the correction is would be helpful. Thanks!

Does it show up as auto expense on Schedule E?

Hi, I did have the calculation auto input on Schedule E originally. In discussion with a partner they mentioned I should use Form 2106. Perhaps my original manual entry on the Schedule E (now deleted) is causing an error in pulling that data through?

Thank you

If you enter Auto directly on Sch E I think it does override any 2106 input. 

And you won't actually get Form 2106 but you should get  a worksheet for the auto expense calculation.
