Converting a primary residence to a rental unit

Hello everyone,

 

Apologies if this has been covered before, but I believe my situation is rather specific and has not been addressed yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, since I cannot seem to get the software to recognize my particular case.

 

Here is the scenario:

I lived in a home for 1 year,  as a primary residence and then converted it to a rental unit for 2 1/2 years, starting1 Jul 2015. I then moved back in and again used it as a primary residence for 5 1/2 years. Finally,  in 2023, I converted it back to a rental unit for the 2nd time, until present.

 

How do I fill in the rental property questions to capture this correctly? This is what I have currently

* 2023 was the first year I rented the property. NO

* I converted this property from personal to rental in 2023. YES

* Was the property rented for all of 2023. NO

* In 2023, Days rented at fmv: 245

* In 2023, Days used for personal use: 0

* Have you used this item 100% of time for this business since you acquired it: NO

* Date I started using it in this business: 1 Jul 2015

* Percentage of time I used this item for this business after placing it into service in 2023: 100%

 

Is this all correctly filled out? If so, then where can I claim the prorata amount for property tax/mortgage while the home was a primary residence in 2023?

 

Thanks you kindly for any advice

James
