Mother passed away and inheited a house in Feb. Then rented out about 20% of the house for 6 months and sold the house in Dec. 80% of the house was empty. I paid the $6000 of property tax. Total rent in the year was $3000.
In sked E, I report $3000 as rental income, but what about the expenses?
Can I report $1200 (one fifth of $6000) as property tax expense ?
