Investors & landlords
For y our 2019 taxes, you ***NEED*** to leave the property classified as a rental. If you convert it to personal use on your 2019 taxes, you'll risk a tax reporting nightmare on your 2020 taxes in the process of reporting your gain/loss on the sale. So whatever you do, do not indicate that "ANY" assets were removed for personal use on your 2019 tax return and do not convert the property to personal use.
Simply state the property was rented "the whole year" and leave it at that. Otherwise, when you do the 2020 taxes next year, the nightmare will not be pleasant and you'll find it hard to wake up from.
THis way, you claim claim your repair and cleaning/maint expenses as rental expenses. The program will deal with all your carry over losses *FOR YOU* (which will include those aforementioned expenses) when you report the sale on your 2020 taxes next year.
