Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Double-check that you have not entered any personal use days under the Property Profile section and that you checked the box stating that you converted your property from personal use to rental use. Personal use days are only considered after the date the property is converted to a rental.
Also, once the personal use days are out of the picture, you will probably need to prorate things like property tax and insurance yourself before entering it into the rental expense section. From April 1st and forward, all of the expenses were related to your rental property.
As for the improvements made long before the property was put into service as a rental, you cannot depreciate these as a rental expense. Instead, the cost of the improvements is added to the basis of the property and it will depreciated as part of the property itself.
