If you rent out your house for two months and used it personally for ten months, you will need to pro-rate the taxes and mortgage interest.
TurboTax will do this for you automatically in the Rental section. If you specify in the rental section that you only rented out the home for 2 out of 12 months, you can put in the full amount of real estate tax and mortgage insurance and the program will forward the balance to your Schedule A, Itemized Deductions. Just make sure that you do not enter either of those two expenses in Deductions and Credits.
