Rents on 1099-MISC from Housing Authority of the Cherokee Nation

My client received a 2022 Form 1099-MISC from Housing Authority of the Cherokee Nation with $4,400 reported in Box 1 Rents. She said this was money the Cherokee Nation paid her for her brother to stay with her while the Cherokee Nation tore down his old house and built a new house. Can I report this income on Schedule E and select Other type of property by entering "HACN Rental Assistance" in the applicable field, and not making an entry in Number of days rented? 

Note that this generates a Suggestion "Schedule E #1: Number of days rented may be required for this rental real estate property.", not a Critical Diagnostic. This also generates a Federal Statement

Statement 1
Schedule E, Part I - (address of property)
Other Type of Property
 
Type of Property: HACN Rental Assistance
 
Is this statement sufficient for the Instructions for Schedule E page E-6 to Attach a statement to your return describing the property?

Sounds like a fine presentation to me.

The taxpayer is not just renting out a room in her home, she is sharing her entire 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with her brother for a period of one year. How do I accurately apportion her expenses to make sure she properly divides any expenses between personal and rental use?

You can't deduct any expenses for shared/common use.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Is the house on the reservation?  Are the taxpayer and her brother enrolled members of the Cherokee Nation?

The taxpayer and her brother are enrolled members of the Cherokee Nation. The taxpayer's house is not on the Cherokee Nation Reservation.
