@Nicholas Vazquez

Househackng does add a unique complexity to your tax return. You acquired real estate that is both a personal residence and an investment property.
As such, some items such as property taxes, depreciation, mortgage interest need to be allocated appropriately.

There are a couple of accountants in the NYC area that specialize in real estate taxation that would be able to handle your issue.

Good luck on the search.
