I assume this must not be for 2025, because the requirements for when to issue a 1099-K for 2025 probably wouldn't have been met in this situation.
And to qualify for the Augusta rule to not have to report that income, it would have to be a property that is mostly for personal use normally, such as a second home or vacation home or your primary residence.
The IRS computers are going to be looking for some kind of reported income to match the 1099-K reported income. One way you can do that is enter the income shown on the 1099-K as rental income, but then add an "other" expense to the rental property with an amount equal to the rent income amount and name the expense something like "280A(g) Exception" or something else along those lines that references the 280A(g) tax law. Make sure that the net income on the Schedule E end up as $0 (no depreciation, etc, and enter 0 personal use days, and the correct number of rental days).
@taxmodern has a good approach to address your tax question. However, if you rent your home for less than 15 days in the year, rental income from that short-term rental is generally not taxable and doesn't have to be reported. This means you don't need to enter the 1099-K income related to this simple rental use in TurboTax as rental income.
Property management companies sometimes use payment settlement entities to issue 1099-K forms even when your rental income doesn't meet the $20,000 or 200 transaction reporting threshold. Despite receiving such a form, IRS (Pub.527) clearly says you don't have to report rental income when it's from rentals under 15 days.
You can also call the property management company to ask for a correction of the 1099-K. Tell them to look at this IRS link as the reason for the correction.
