Hi,
We are renting an Accessory Dwelliing Unit basement apartment that is approximately 30% of the square footage of our home. I understand that I need to prorate expenses such as utilities, insurance, and mortgage interest.
Do I do the same for the depreciation- basis cost? Do I adjust for the amount used by the apartment? Thanks for any insight on how to handle the depreciation.

For depreciation of the rented portion of your home, you enter the rented portion as a Residential real estate asset valued at the cost basis of your home (excluding land) multiplied by the prorated rental percentage.
TurboTax will calculate the depreciation expense and insert it as a rental expense.
