ok. Sure, but are there somewhere Turbotax instructions I can read first?     If I need to, then, i'll upgrade to Live, but I'd rather do so after doing my homework.      Thanks again!  ... View more

Thanks for your very helpful previous responses!  I have one more clarification (and excuse my extra question), because in 2019, i ended up renting my house in two separate occasions:     More specifically, in addition to the 5 days  AirBnB rental (already mentioned) of  the whole house in April,  I then rented the one bedroom (i.e. 50%) of my house to a colleague for few months (for which i received a separate 1099-MISC).  So, I am trying to understand how to best report this in TurboTax.    I suppose I'd enter the second rental period as a separate rental entry (since has only 50% use and a separate 1099-MISC), correct? If so, do I check that I converted my house to rental in both entries or just the first one?    Along the same liens, if I understand correctly the earlier related response, Turbotax will only prorate for me the property taxes (and mortgage insurance which I did not have anyway). So, everything else, most notably mortgage interest, home Insurance, utilities, gardener, cleaning etc, I need to prorate myself and separately for each one of the rental periods. Correct?    Thanks again!   ... View more

Thanks a lot for this very helpful clarification!   Is this "less than 14 days no need to report" valid also for 2020?    While in 2019, after the AirBnB 5 days rental, I ended up renting (without AirBnB) a room in my house for few months, and therefore I need to report.    In 2020,  I only have 12 days of AirBnB so far. So, if the 14 days still holds, it will be great.   Please advise. Thanks again.    ... View more

Thanks a lot for your very helpful response!  (and excuse my duplicate response, but i thought my first posting crashed before going out).    Let me please clarify two important details:   1. I need to convert anyway my house to rental in 2019 because after the short AirBnB rental, I mentioned below, I ended up renting one of the rooms in my house for 8 months (for which i received a separate 1099-MISC).  So, the work has to be done anyway. I was just not sure when the conversion should start.    by the way, I suppose the second rental period should be reported as a separate rental entry (since separate 1099-MISC), correct?   2. if I understand correctly your response, Turbotax will only prorate for me the property taxes (and mortgage insurance which I did not have anyway). So, everything else, most notably mortgage interest, home Insurance, utilities, gardener, cleaning etc, I need to prorate myself (separately for each of the two rental periods). Correct?    Thanks again! ... View more
