Investors & landlords

The rental property would not be considered your primary residence, if that is what you mean, since you are only there temporarily. You would treat your time there as personal use of the property, however. That means you cannot deduct rental expenses on the rental property for the time that you are living in it. Also, because of the amount of time you are living there, you will not be able to deduct rental expenses to the extent they are more than your rental income. You can take as personal itemized deductions the mortgage interest and property tax on the rental property applicable to the time you are living there.
