Investors & landlords

Your rental sold February, 2019 and you would enter the sale of the rental in 2019. See I sold my rental property. How do I report that?

  • The fact that your rental was not rented in 2019, does not make it a second home.
  • If it was "available" for rent, enter the number of days from January 1, 2019 to February 18, 2019  in the question, "the days rented at FMV". 
  • If it was not "available" for rent, you'll enter "0" for the question "the days rented at FMV".

Note: Upon the sale of your rental, you may have to pay 25% on your depreciation recapture. See page 27 of IRS Publication 544 Chapter 3 Depreciation Recapture .
