Investors & landlords
Yes. Common rental expenses include depreciation (based on your purchase price), real estate taxes, mortgage interest, maintenance, and repairs.
These expenses will always offset your rental income; however, if the result is a loss, it will be disallowed if your total income from all sources is over $150k. Instead, those losses become Passive Activity Losses and are carried forward for use in future years or when you sell.
To enter your rental income and expenses, including depreciation, go to:
Federal Taxes, then
Wages & Income
Scroll down to Rental Property & Royalties
After the general questions about the property, enter rental income. At the summary screen, scroll down and select Add Expenses
