Convert Rental Back to Personel Use

[oldgunny]

Rented my home out while living in San Diego in a rented apartment.  My renter moved out the last part of 2020 and my son moved in to take care of the place until I'm able to move back in June of this year.  I didn't charge him any rent for 2021 and have no intention of renting the house any longer.  When I try to fill out my Schedule "E" for 2021 Turbotax tells me that since I didn't rent the house for 2021 that the Schedule "E" will be deleted and when I print out the forms there is no Schedule "E".  If this is the case how do I inform the IRS of the change?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You don't need to do anything else to let the IRS know you aren't renting your house out anymore. The fact that there is no rental income or expense and that it is your personal residence makes it obvious. 

One thing you do need to do is to keep a record of the deprecation on the home while it was a rental. You will need that information if you sell the home in the future.
