Converted residence to rental mid-way thru 2016 - do I pro-rate/divide the mortgage interest and property tax between rental schedule and regular deductions?

It would be helpful if the program remembered specifics about my filing and prompted me based on what I'm inputting.

Yes, if you converted your primary residence to a rental property during the year, you must allocate your expenses based on usage. The portion of homeowner deductions that applies to your personal residence would be reported on Schedule A (Itemized Deductions). The remainder would be entered as Rental Expenses (Schedule E)
