@Carl This is by far the best and most detailed response I've seen regarding a rental property that has damage and unavailable for rental for an entire year. I have clients in the same situation except it has taken them all of 2018, 2019 and this year to get the house back together to rent. (Frozen pipe burst in an old farmhouse so I believe they decided to do major upgrades at the same time.) They have repairs, supplies and ordinary expenses for 2018 and 2019 (they haven't filed 2018 yet). Are the expenses for repairs and supplies reported on their Sch E? In 2018, they have $43k in "supplies". I want to make sure the returns are correct for them. Thanks for any advice you can give me. It's much appreciated!
