Is owning a home the same as owning rental property?

I own the home i am using as rental property, and live somewhere else...do i still file as owning a home, or just claim the rental property?

No, not in this context. The program is asking if you had a personal home. Your personal home expenses would go on Schedule A and your rental income and expenses on Schedule E. If your rental property is a separate entity, it is not your home.
