To remove the cost of furniture from the valuation:

Generate a valuation detailed report for the valuation.
From the Summary of Costs section of the report, note the amount listed for built‑ins.
Multiply the total built-in cost by 0.76.
Enter the negative value of that total as a custom addition for the location or building section.

Example: 1,000 (Total built-in cost) * 0.76 (Allowance percentage) = 760. Enter -760 as a custom addition.
