I wonder if something got stuck or hung up. You can try these things:   Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu. Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website. Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms. Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit." Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.   Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit. By clearing the cache or using Incognito mode, you force the browser to establish a brand-new, secure connection with the Intuit servers.

If this is the first year you are reporting this as a Rental Property, your best option is to add only the basement unit as a rental. This allows you to continue to use the other unit for personal use without complicated allocations. Also, if you convert the upper unit to a rental in the future, you'll simply add it as a new rental property.   In this instance, you would enter only the direct expenses for the current rental unit and do your own allocation calculations for shared expenses. Enter any remaining shared expenses that would apply to your personal residence (like property taxes) under Deductions & Credits >> Your Home in TurboTax. Square footage is the most common method to allocate rental expenses.   Because you used the property as a rental in the past, you will have accumulated depreciation and possibly passive losses from that rental period. You'll need that information from the last tax return when you converted it to a second home (personal use), which should be in the worksheets for that tax year.   When you enter the basement unit for depreciation, TurboTax will ask you about prior depreciation. Look for the passive loss carryovers question under Less Common Situations on the Rental Summary page.   Also remember to add your total renovation costs as a separate asset for depreciation.   Additional Information: Where do I enter income and expenses from a rental property? What kinds of rental property expenses can I deduct? How do I handle capital improvements and depreciation for my rental?
