Think of the room (or part of room if this is your case) as separate unit. Enter in TurboTax as rental and under the Property Profile, indicate that you rented a part of your home on the page, Do Any of These Situations Apply to This Property?
On the page, Was This Property Rented for All of 2016?, Answer 'no' if your rental unit was not rented all year and enter the rental use days and the personal use days for that unit.
Note: The personal use days means did you use the rental unit personally after it was placed in service. If the room was rented for 170 days, then you could not have had access to it for 170 days. Personal use then would be 196 days.
