Wiles - went to the input line in Lacerte you asked about and then went to the Lacerte "Help" center for that line .
As I stated in my post above
"Have not read the instructions to see but that might be one of the differences being asked for."
Here is what I found
The entry generally applies to states that do not conform to the federal provision that limits the home mortgage interest deduction to a $750,000 / $375,000 debt limit on debt incurred after 12/15/2017. Such states are generally allowed to continue to use a $1,000,000 / $500,000 debt limit on all debt with the exception of home equity debt. At the federal level, interest attributable to home equity debt is generally no longer allowed (unless for business or investment), but for such states, the interest associated with up to $100,000 / $50,000 of home equity debt is still allowed as home mortgage interest.
Enter the indirect expenses in full (see the note below for exceptions). The program applies the business percentage and carries to Schedule A the nondeductible portion of interest, taxes, and casualty loss. If the taxpayer is filing two Forms 8829, you must prorate the applicable interest and taxes or adjust them through the Schedule A input section.
In the case of one home allocated to multiple businesses, entries in “Home office name or number entered first on Screen 29, if home used in more than one business” (Screen 29, Code 47) and “Percentage (.xx) of indirect expenses to apply to this business, if not 100%” (Screen 29, Code 512) can be used to apportion the indirect expenses. Square footage information and indirect expenses must be input in full on both business use of home entities.
Exception for Excess Home Mortgage Limitations: If the taxpayer is subject to excess home mortgage limitations, input fields are provided at the bottom of the Itemized Deductions input screen allowing you to enter loan information, including interest and points expense. If you are using that input section, you are also allowed to route the allowed interest and points expense from those loans to the 8829/Business Use of Home Worksheet. If you do this, do not make entries in the “Mortgage Interest [A]” (screen 29, code 111) or “Excess Mortgage Interest [A]” (screen 29, code 119) input fields in this screen.
