Get your taxes done using TurboTax
I would recommend you delete that rental property, and add a new one and step through the interview again. Don't indicate 'home office' as obviously the home office was not part of the rental % and any home office deduction you qualify for will be entered in the Business section.
Once you selected 'rent part of home', say YES to 'rented all year' (this refers to the period from 'date placed in service'). Don't enter any number for days rented. TurboTax calculates from 'date placed in service' to 12/31/2024. Don't enter any number of 'days of personal use'.
You should then get a screen asking you to enter the % of the home that was rented, titled 'Let Us Calculate Your Expense Deductions for You'.
If you're using TurboTax Online, clear your Cache and Cookies after deleting, before re-entering. The first time setting up the property is the hardest; calculating the correct Cost Basis for the % of home you're renting is important, so your depreciation deduction is correct. You're probably making it harder than it needs to be; this is a good feature in TurboTax once you get it set up.
