If I purchase earthquake insurance for my main residence but rent out 66% of the house to two other tenants, could 66% of the earthquake insurance be written off as a deductible expense?

Yes, you can claim earthquake insurance for the rental portion of your home. Just an FYI, if you have already reported that 66% of your home is rented out, enter the full amount of the earthquake insurance and Turbo Tax will perform the allocation for you automatically.
