I've been doing my own taxes on Turbotax online for a number of years and I am having difficulty figuring out my rental situation for 2017. I was hoping for some guidance from anyone who is familiar with Turbotax's platform or taxes in general.
For half of 2017, I lived in a property that I owned and I had roommates that paid me rent (I also did this for all of 2016 so I know how to calculate the income/expenses from this on Turbotax). But for the other half of 2017, I bought and moved into another property and fully rented out my previous property for the remainder of the year.
I am having a hard time figuring out how to separate those two events on their online platform. When I go through all of the steps, there is no way for me to split up the income/expenses from the live-in landlord half and the landlord only half. It is calculating the income/expenses as if I was a live in landlord for the entire year.
Does anyone have any familiarity with this? I think I might have to bite the bullet on this and pay more for a tax specialist.
