Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes. You do have to pay U.S. income tax on a condo rental in Mexico. U.S. citizens and resident aliens are taxed on worldwide income.

 

Set up your condo in TurboTax as a rental (TurboTax can handle foreign rentals). Enter your income and expenses.

 

You can also claim a credit for tax paid to Mexico.

 

To claim the foreign tax credit:

  1. Type foreign tax credit in Search in the upper right (magnifying glass)
  2. Select Jump to foreign tax credit
  3. Complete the screens to claim either the credit or deduction
