I am renting my townhome for under fair market value. Turbo tax said since it was not rented at fair market value, it is considered a not-for-profit rental. I was directed to enter the rental income under other reportable income --which I did. I was also directed to entered rental expenses under deductions and credits. I understand the rental expenses cannot exceed the rental income I received. Where do I enter the rental expenses under deductions & credits?

Because this is a not-for-profit rental, your expenses are considered "hobby-like" expenses. Under current tax law (the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act), most of these expenses are no longer deductible on your federal return, even though you must still report 100% of the income. For tax years 2018 through 2025, the IRS has suspended the deduction for "miscellaneous itemized deductions," which is where not-for-profit rental expenses (like repairs, insurance, or utilities) used to be reported.
However, you can still deduct the mortgage interest and property taxes if you itemize your deductions.
Thank you for your reply. 😀
