If you are referring to entering the rental days and personal days on Schedule E, no.  Only include the days it was actually used.

If it was rented out during their "personal use time"...then, no it was not used by the taxpayer

I 'm trying to determine whether they had to show the rental income at all.... following the rental time versus personal time...

Yes, they need to show the rental income.

The less-than-15-day rule applies if the dwelling unit was used as a "residence" by the taxpayer.  Your client did not use it as a residence, so the rental needs to be reported.

yup... since just owning it didn't count as personal use, I bit the bullet and showed it on Sched E.

Thanks~
