What you have is just family living in your second home and helping with expenses ... you do NOT have a rental so do NOT enter this on your tax return.

As to what you can deduct ... the same as you did before but with the new itemized deduction laws.   

See this TurboTax support FAQ for how tax reform will affect your 2018 tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/4482394-how-will-tax-reform-affect-my-2018-federal-tax-return

And since you don't have a mortgage on the second home, your only deductible item will be the property taxes - subject to the new tax law's dollar limits.

The property is in TN, no state tax, so no plans to claim this credit.
