Question

I converted a personal property into a rental property in 2016. In the deduction section do I enter all the mortgage interest, or subtract the amount prorated to rental?

In the Rental Income section, I entered a prorated amount of mortgage interest, which appears to be deducted from my rental income. I'm assuming that in the Deductions & Credit section, I should only enter the balance of mortgage interest, not the full amount on the Mortgage Interest Statement. Is this correct?

That is correct. You will need to allocate to each section the proportionate share of interest and property taxes.

Ex: Lived in home for 9 months and rental for 3 months. Allocate 75% of interest as a personal deduction and 25% as a rental deduction.
