Investors & landlords

I haven't looked at it for the 2020 tax program. But I do recall the small print saying something along the lines of "If you acquired/disposed of the property this year and it was a rental the entire time you owned it (for the year), then select that you rented it the whole year".


That might have been a long, long time ago when Schedule E did not have lines to input fair rental days and personal use days. The language to which you referred has not been in the program during the last few years.

 

Regardless, it would be more than a little strange to report a rental on Schedule E with 365 (366) fair rental days when the property was disposed of prior to the end of the year.
