1. Yes, enter your direct expenses into the area asking for expenses related to the rental. These are expenses that you had for that last three months that were only related to the rental.
2. Homeowner's insurance - as well as any expenses that you had that were annual - is going to be prorated over the entire year. So you'll enter it in the expenses that are included for when you were a resident.
3. The repairs and the carpet and any other renovations that you made to the house to get it ready to rent are capitalized. Just like the house they will be depreciated over time and you will get a deduction for them each year. Add up all the 'make-ready' costs and you will create a new asset. You can call it 'New Carpet and Renovations' or something like that. You'll enter it when TurboTax asks if you have any other assets like refrigerators and whatnot.
