Investors & landlords

You will have to do the apportionment yourself based on the square footage calculation. You can do this by reducing the portion applicable to the rental from the main house that you live. This will reduce the mortgage interest deductible on schedule A and the room portion transferred to Schedule E. You will do the same for property taxes too. The other expenses for schedule E will be directly related to the rental.
