Investors & landlords

You guessed it right! We live in Hawaii and have one rental property...

If that rental property is located in Hawaii or not, be aware that you are required to be registered with the HI state taxing authority, as you have to issue your tenants a tax certificate, as they get to deduct a portion of their rent payments to you, from their HI state taxable income.(If the property being rented is in Hawaii.)  Additionally, you as a landlord are required to pay the GET tax (General Excise Tax).
I would suggest you start reading at https://files.hawaii.gov/tax/legal/brochures/Res_RP_brochure-23.pdf and seek the services of a local tax pro to help you with reducing any fines and penalties I'm fully expecting to be imposed on you for not making quarterly GET payments.
I suggest a pro, because I left HI over 20 years ago, and I'm sure a few things on this front may have changed.
