How do I classify a rental in my remodeled basement while I live upstairs? Single family unit or multiple?

The rental is not a separate unit, so there's no property purchase, just a big remodeling expense that we need to amortize.

How do I classify a rental in my remodeled basement while I live upstairs? Single family unit or multiple?

It would be a single family unit, renting part of your home. 

 

Be sure to consider the date the basement was placed in service as a rental property and do not include any personal use days of the space prior to the date it was placed in service.
