Question on Trust deductions and how to enter in TurboTax Business

[user17740442665]

We have a property that is in a trust that had rental income for 36 days in 2025 and had personal use for about 21 days of the year.

I understand we can deduct the property taxes in full, but from what I have seen, the other expenses are only deductible as a percentage of the year for the rental days - so basically 10% of them.

TurboTax prompted for the rental days and personal days.  I entered the full amount of the expenses, but it is showing 100% of that as deductible on the Schedule E.

Do I need to calculate the amounts rather than putting in the full amount of the expenses?

Is this a grantor trust? Not sure what TurboTax Business is doing but certain rental expenses are dedutible in full because they're the direct result of the rental, like some repairs, commissions, and the like.

It is an irrevocable trust.

Not sure what's going on with TT Business but the expenses need to be allocated unless they are directly related to rental use, like repairs made as a result of the rental.

The expenses are utilities, HOA dues, insurance, etc rather than repairs.  Since we rented it such a short time, I figured it would need to be done kind of like a home office I have done for the percentage of the house - but in this case for the percentage of time it was rented at a rental rate.

Correct, there should be an allocation.
