Deductions & credits

For a Multi-Unit property such as the duplex that you are reporting, it is recommended that you let TurboTax do the math for some entries. 

  • Enter the entire amount of the mortgage interest and real estate taxes for the rental. TurboTax will prorate mortgage interest and property taxes and carry the other amount to Schedule A for your personal use as part of the property. 
  • TurboTax can prorate some other expenses such as repairs and utilities that affect the whole building.
