You need to check the box to indicate that you are renting part of your home in order to indicate that 20% is being considered a rental property.
If you are using a CD/downloaded version of TurboTax, the check-box is in the Property Profile section.
If you are using TurboTax Online, it is in the Rental Property Info > Situations section.
You will be asked if you want TurboTax to do the math or if you will do the math. Since you only rented part of your home for part of the year, you should do the math and enter the amounts that only pertain to the rental portion of your home. TurboTax will not prorate both the time it was rented and the percent that was rented.
