Report only the expenses that relate to the period when the property was available to be rented (even if you had no tenants). For example, if you lived there until the end of June and paid $1200 for insurance, you would report 6/12 x $1200 = $600 insurance for the rental.   If the property could be rented but you had no tenants, that time does count for the time the property was a rental.   If you need extra time, filing an extension by April 15, 2026, moves your submission deadline to October 15. But remember any taxes owed are still due in full by the original April 15 date.
