<prompt> Human: Wanted to update yall on my previous post Much thanks to all who offered their thoughts on my situation. I finally got in touch with someone at the IRS after first contacting the Taxpayer Advocate hotline. The hotline helped to ensure I got transferred to someone who picked up vs. leaving voice messages via the number on the IRS letter, which I had tried several times with no progress. After repeating the exceptionrule reference multiple times over the phone, I was directed to re-fax my original response. Yesterday I received a notice that the issue was resolved and the IRS inquiry is now closed. There was no IRS form I needed to fill out or additional information I had to provide, so I am guessing that the IRS persons handling my case is not familiar with the less-than 15 day rental rule. Im not sure if there was anything I could have done differently when submitting my taxes via Turbo Tax. This is not the first time the IRS has made a mistake on my taxes--they said I owed taxes on my withdrawal from my Roth IRA in 2012 because the account was opened for less than 5 years. However, the withdrawal went towards my first home, which exempts me from taxes. After repeatedly sending the same information to verify all of this by fax because I couldnt reach anyone by phone, they finally agreed that I did not owe taxes after I filed a case with the US Tax Court. Im surprised at how difficult it was to reason with the IRS on clear rules both these times, but I think not being able to discuss directly with someone over the phone contributed to the inefficient resolving of my cases. This year I moved in with my fiancee and am renting out my condo so I am leaning towards hiring a tax professional to do my taxes for 2016. Thanks again for your attention and assistance!  <response>: Save your receipts for repairs on the rental condo, bring them to the tax professional youre going to hire.
