Enter 0 for personal days. It is only asking about the room you rent, not the entire house. And you don't count the days before the renters moved in or after they moved out. The following are NOT treated as personal use days:
* days a member of your family used the property as their main home and paid a fair rental price
* days used full-time for repairs and maintenance (even if a family member also used it at the same time for personal purposes)
* days you used the dwelling as your main home before (or after) renting it, if:
1) the unit was rented for 12 months or more or will be.
2) the dwelling unit was not rented for 12 months or more but was sold.
I am assuming you said yes to the option to Let TurboTax calculate your expense deductions... In that case - Your rental percentage is the percentage of your property that you're renting out. To figure out your rental percentage, divide the square footage of the portion you're renting out by the total square footage of your property.
Example: Serafina is renting out a room that's 140 square feet. The total square footage of the property is 1,400 square feet. 140 divided by 1,400 is 0.10 or 10%. This means Serafina's rental percentage is 10%. @mayema1
