When you receive a 1099-misc for  home rental income 14 days or less enter the amount in the Less Common Income section,: Miscellaneous Income  and then click  Other Reportable Income .

Use the description  "14 day rent rule" .That takes care of reporting the income.

Then same steps ,same description, enter the same amount as a negative.

@johndeerehunter  As @view2 says above you will go to the 'Wages and Income' section and scroll down to 'Other Income' and enter the income from the 1099-MISC.  It asks for a description of the income and in that space you will put "14 day rent rule".  Then, on the next line, put the same description and a negative of the same amount as you put on the first line.  That will zero out the amount so that it is reported to the IRS but not taxed.
