The best way to do this both tax-wise and "work"-wise on your part, is to say that you live in a duplex and you rent out the other unit. The program gives you that option. You'll have to do "some" math manually yourself. It's still important to read the small print on every screen so that you'll know what the program will "split" for you, and what you need to figure manually.
