State tax filing
1. If you are no longer holding the property out for rent, the rental is terminated and your expenses will be either:
- added to the basis - capital improvement like a new bathroom floor or
- selling expense - example: HVAC repair a leak to get the house sold
2. If you were holding it as for rental property, then you can use Sch E for entering expenses. I doubt that you were but maybe you had it up for rent or sale. Items should only be entered on the Sch E depreciation section if the Sch E was still actively being used or advertised for rent.
3. Yes, skip to the sale, if the house was vacant and for sale only.
