Enter the rental activity income and expenses after making that selection on the page "Do any of these situations apply to this property?" (see image attached)
TurboTax will enter the personal portion on your itemized deductions (mortgage interest, real estate property taxes) after your enter the full amount in the rental section. Do not enter them twice in your return.
You will also enter the home cost as an asset in the depreciation section after the regular expenses.The home cost will be the purchase price plus any settlement charges such as title search, recording fees, etc. You will be asked when you purchased the property and TurboTax will calculate the correct depreciation.
