How to file rent for a room in my house

[amarnath-j]

I have put a room on rent in my house. How to file income of that room for tax ? What documents do i need as proof of filing? Is bank statement showing transaction sufficient.

Enter your income and expenses in the Rental section of the Premier Edition. Please see the screen shots below for the important screens to designate your property. On the first screen below, check that you rent a part of your home. If it is a straight division of expenses (say 75% personal, 25% rental) you can have Turbotax do the calculations. You do have bank records as proof of income, but you should have actual receipts for expenses.

How do you get to the 3rd screenshot to have Turbo do the math?

In order to get the 3rd screenshot you need to choose "rented all year"(the type of rental" doesn't make much difference).
