Tax Deduction Rental Rooms

[Rebecca Wilson]

I moved out my 4 BR home in late 2017. Purchased new home different city. Beginning Apr 2018 I began renting out 2 of 4 BRs in old home. How do I handle tax deductions? I visit the property occasionally for personal reasons, but mostly to address maintenance issues and finish cleanout.

How do I handle income & tax deductions? Is this a rental property or second home ?  Do I need to account for personal days spent there ?
