Investors & landlords

It depends. Instead of listing these as expenses of rental property, it is handled a little differently. Here is the menu path you will follow:

  1. Wages and income
  2. Other Business information
  3. Sales of Business Property>Start
  4. Next screen, indicate this is Sales of Business Property>yes
  5. Next screen will read Sales of Business or Rental Property
  6. In this screen, you will report real estate commissions as a Cost of Property plus expenses of sales. 

In addition to reporting real estate commissions as expenses, you may also deduct other selling expenses such as::

  • Advertising Expenses
  • Legal Fees
  • Broker Fees
  • Transfer taxes
