You might get other opinions but in my view you are just cost sharing for the household. I wouldn’t report the “rent”.

That is just family members sharing expenses and does NOT need to be declared as income.

 

However, if you still wish to report it as rental income, then:

 

Enter Rental Income & Expenses:

  1. Open your return.
  2. Enter rentals in the Search box.  
  3. Click on jump to rentals link.
  4. Enter your rental income followed by your expenses.

 

Or Click on Federal tab, then Wages & Income, then Edit/Add to the right of Rental Properties and Royalties (Sch E),

You are not a landlord.

Repeat. You are cost sharing. Don’t report anything.
