Investors & landlords
Unless this is an owner-occupied rental (like a duplex), you will need to allocate the mortgage interest and property taxes yourself. The situation is complicated because you converted the property from a personal residence to a rental.
For the period when you occupied the home as your personal residence until you listed the property as available to be rented, calculate and enter that portion of the homeowner deductions under Deductions & Credits >> Your Home.
From the time you listed the property as available for rent until the end of the year, calculate and enter that portion under Rental Expenses.
Be sure to take note and read any blue "Learn More" links that appear during the interview for your rental property. This in-program guidance often answers your questions and provides examples.
Note that personal use days refer to any time you occupied the home while it was considered a rental property - but after you stopped using it as a personal residence. See IRS Pub 527 Property Changed to Rental Use.
