My house was rented out for the last 2 months of 2019. I have gone into Nov-Dec Monthly Statements to add the interest, the taxes were paid in Dec. Do I put the full amt?

If you rent out your house for two months and used it personally for ten months, you will need to pro-rate the taxes and mortgage interest.

TurboTax will do this for you automatically in the Rental section. If you specify in the rental section that you only rented out the home for 2 out of 12 months, you can put in the full amount of real estate tax and mortgage insurance and the program will forward the balance to your Schedule A, Itemized Deductions. Just make sure that you do not enter either of those two expenses in Deductions and Credits.

I have a similar question and I'm not sure how to enter the data into Turbotax.

I have rented my home for 45 days and used it for 319 days.

I'm familiar with the rents and royalty section since I also have a couple investment properties.

I understand the quicken program will do the pro-rata calculation to carve up my expenses based of the days rented and the days used myself (Utilities, tax, repairs etc).   However, in renting the home I have some expense which is dedicated just to the rental.   For example, I pay $499 to VRBO to list our home on their platform as an advertising expense.  Similarly, we are in an HOA which requires a guest rental fee of $500.  How do I enter these in the program so that these unique fees are applied against the rental income and NOT allocated between rental and pers use... since there is no personal use.   Thanks, Al
