You would enter your interest paid on your mortgage for your rental property under rental property expenses. 

  1. You will log into your return
  2. On the left-hand side menu go to Income- scroll down to Rental properties.
  3. When you get to your Rental Profile - check off the box that says "Rental Expenses".
  4. Continue
  5. Now you will be on the T776 Rental Expense page where you will see the third line is interest- please enter the amount here.
  6. Continue

You should claim it under the rental property expense section. 

Please follow these two TurboTax Articles to understand more about the differences between Claiming Carrying Charges and Interest Expenses and Claiming Expenses on Rental Properties
