Ernie, that was a very helpful answer -- thanks! There are two other factors that did not come through clearly in my original question and I would like to pose two follow-ups to you.
home
Prior to 2020. the PA property was a 2nd home that was also rented occasionally. In 2020, the PA property was not rented at all, unlike 2019. So I can record the date of conversion of the PA property from 2nd home and occasional rental to strictly 2nd home on Jan 1, 2020, right? Then, I'd stop depn for the full year and would be able to deduct mortgage interest and taxes (subject to $10,000 limit) for the entire year, right? I just wonder if TT will consider it a contradiction that I am converting the PA home to strictly personal use on Jan 1, and did not change residence to PA until July 5.
2nd follow-up: The other rental property is in North Carolina. It was rented all year. That's where I thought I'd have to apportion the credit for NC tax paid between VA and PA, since I changed residency on July 5. Does that sound right?
Thanks, Ernie. Chris Rowan
