What if my homeowner association as a part of its dues payments

Basically, HOA fees are HOA fees. What the HOA users that money for just doesn't matter. It's still a deductible rental expense.

If you work through the rental expenses section, the *very* *last* *thing* you're asked for on the last screen of the expenses section, is Miscellaneous Expenses not reported elsewhere. Simply enter "HOA Fees", then the amount, and press on. The full amount entered is a deductible rental expense.

Doesn't matter what the HOA used it for. You are legally obligated to pay it per the ordinance or covenant you signed when you acquired the property. So it's a deductible rental expense.
