Why its only taking 50% of total rental expenses ? I own a two family house . I live on first floor and rent second floor. The tennant only pays rent and electric bill.

Yes I use 50% of the property but I pay for all the expenses. but turbo tax is only taking 50% of every expense ? why ? Am I doing it wrong ?

You pay for all the utilities. 

You live in half. 

Half the utilities are your own personal expenses. 

The other half (50%) is used by the tenant who pays you rent, therefore 50% can be deducted as an expense from the rent the tenant pays. 

You can't expense the portion you pay for yourself.
