Was it available for rent during that period? They didn't receive insurance proceeds to offset the repair costs?

It was available for rent but could not be occupied while repairs were being made. Operating expenses are what I'm concerned about. Software will not allow any expenses if zero is plugged in days rented.

Are you asking about Repairs as if that is expense, or are you asking about operating costs while it was not available for rent?

Operating costs such as utilities, condo association fees, cleaning/maintenance, mileage, insurance, etc. Owers did not rent it for the entire year while repairs were being made on the unit. If zero is plugged in for number of days rented and zero for personal days used, the software will only allow mortgage interest and real estate taxes to be transferred to Schedule A. No other expenses are allowed. What you think?

I think you still need to answer the IronyMan's questions.
