Hi,
I used to hire a tax person for my tax but this year I am trying to do it myself. Here are my questions.
In 2021, my primary home was rented for 3 months from Jan to the end of March. I collected rent for 3 months.
Then the tenant moved out so I moved back in right away after. I do have a mortgage on this home.
In Turbotax,
1. In the Mortgage Interest/credit section, should I enter a prorated interest/property tax I paid for 9 month I lived, not full year?
2. In the Income section, day rented should be 90 days and Personal use should be 0 since I didn't live when the tenant lived.
3. In the Income section, I believe that Turbotax automatically calculates a prorated interest/property tax for 90 days.
4. Because I moved back in, I don't qualify to deduct some expenses, e.g., repair, HOA, depreciation...
Thank you for your help!
1. In the Mortgage Interest/credit section, should I enter a prorated interest/property tax I paid for 9 month I lived, not full year? You would include 3 month's worth on Schedule E and the balance on Schedule A.
2. In the Income section, day rented should be 90 days and Personal use should be 0 since I didn't live when the tenant lived. Yes.
3. In the Income section, I believe that Turbotax automatically calculates a prorated interest/property tax for 90 days. Yes, but I prefer to do it manually.
4. Because I moved back in, I don't qualify to deduct some expenses, e.g., repair, HOA, depreciation. Correct, these are only expenses while it is producing income.
