How many days of personal use do you have? If you rented it for 100 days, 10% of that is 10 days. So if your personal use is more than 10 days, you have mixed use property and can't deduct losses. You're considered to use a dwelling unit as a residence if you use it for personal purposes during the tax year for a number of days that’s more than the greater of:
- 14 days, or
- 10% of the total days you rent it to others at a fair rental price.
For example, if you live in your main home for 11 months, your home is a dwelling unit used as a residence. If you live in your vacation home for the other 30 days of the year, your vacation home is also a dwelling unit used as a residence unless you rent your vacation home to others at a fair rental value for more than 300 days during the year in this example.

If you use the dwelling unit for both rental and personal purposes, you generally must divide your total expenses between the rental use and the personal use based on the number of days used for each purpose. You won't be able to deduct your rental expense in excess of the gross rental income limitation.
