Investors & landlords
Thank you - I have been struggling a lot with trying to enter this correctly into TT so this makes sense. The solution I came up with is to select conversion "From rental to primary residence" under the rental property info, and put the correct business/personal days for the rental period (64 days/65 days) under the rental type/usage. Since I am not depreciating anything, I don't have to worry about the timeline issues for that portion. For my expenses, I am manually prorating anything deductible (insurance premiums, real estate taxes, utilities, etc) to the amount applicable for the 129 day period when my home was a rental (ex. if I paid $3,000 for taxes for the year then I divide by 365 days & multiply by 129 days). Once I put my manually prorated amount in, then TT prorates it by the calculated percentage based on rental/personal use for the rental period (49.6%). Do you see any issues with this approach? The one issue I see is that I'm not sure it is clearly communicated that the rental is closed now, since I did not have to enter any "opened" or "closed" dates anywhere.
