Investors & landlords

You report activity on a rental property on Schedule E.

 

You would report on Schedule E ONLY that activity that occurred since the property was "placed in service", i.e., made available for rental (whether or not you had a tenant immediately).

 

Thus fees paid while the house was still your main residence do not apply to Schedule E. Put those fees as appropriate on Schedule A.
