Tax software for renting out a room

[Christopher Lambert]

Just curious if anyone knows what do it yourself tax software would be best for a condo where I have one roommate (I own the condo, he is renting a room from me). I've always used TaxAct in the past before I started renting out a room, but it doesn't seem to work that nicely for this. My taxes are relatively simple, so I would prefer to self-prepare, but am open to a CPA if none of the major software works well for this.

@Daniel Hyman,

Speaking only to the TurboTax Premier and Home and Business desktop versions.  When the taxpayer sets up a new depreciable asset, there is a guided interview that asks pertinent questions that would properly calculate the depreciation basis for a rental property, even for the rental portion of a primary residence.  A TurboTax user, setting up a depreciable asset for the first time, may have a little difficulty with the language and terminology used.  There is an on-board help manual, although the first time user may still have some difficulty understanding how to respond to some of the guided interview questions while navigating through the setup screens.  TurboTax does mitigate this to some extent through real-time validation for some responses.

For those TurboTax users that need a little handholding, there is a Help button that links to a "live community" discussion forum where experienced users and TurboTax staff can answer specific questions.  For those that need real-time help, TurboTax does provide phone chat support.
