No, I am not a professional and my AGI > 150K. I am not trying to offset my AGI, just want to use the rental expenses of the same property to offset the rental income so I don't need to pay tax for the rental income.
I realized one thing is I sold another property for a gain of $150K in 2021, but I still cannot understand why that would make my other property's rental income becomes taxable income when their net is negative.
