So I should add it as a rental property even when it is not a rental property?  It is a commercial warehouse owned by me as a place to store appliances and tools used by me for my actual rental properties.   As I do not spend > 750 hrs or 50% of my working time on these rentals, I am not considered a business.   Using Premiere.

I am using Home and Business, after I added another property the  following screens gave the choice "What kind of property is this"'[ LOL edited the name above   automatic spellchecker must have kicked in]

Commercial 'warehouse"  is given as a choice in Home and Business, so i cannot state for sure your version has that option.[a warehouse rental ,nonresidential, is still passive ,a Schedule E , even though you only own to use]

The selection for hours is for a real estate professional , so that is not a factor.
