I rent out part of my house (30%) as a AirBNB - last year, it was rented for 44 days. The remainder of the time I use that portion of the house (and I DO use it, it is not sitting vacant) for personal reasons. I put in this split in order to appropriately prorate my taxes/interest, etc and those numbers all looked correct to me. However, when going to submit I get the following error: "Days personal use cannot be more than zero. You indicated that this is an owner-occupied rental property." If I change the days personal use to zero, than it attempts to deduct a full 30% of my mortgage interest and property taxes as rental expenses, even though the rental portion of the house was not rented out the entire year.
Help!
