Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@jawckey everything is based on the cash in and the cash out.

 

if you did not receive the rent, you can't deduct that.  No cash transacted. 

 

the money you spend to clean up the damages are a claimable expense.  Cash transacted

 

But if you didn't spend the money to clean up the damage, there is nothing to deduct. No cash transacted
