Yes, you report the income in your home state of NY. A nonresident is required to file a Colorado income tax return if they:
- are required to file a federal income tax return, and
- had taxable Colorado-sourced income.
Nonresidents will initially determine their Colorado taxable income as though they are full-year residents. Nonresident of Colorado will complete the Colorado Individual Income Tax Return (DR 0104) and the Nonresident Tax Calculation Schedule (DR 0104PN) to determine what income will be claimed on the DR0104 form.
How your report the rental income depends on whether you have a profit motive. If so, it is reported on Schedule E. If not, a not-for-profit rental is reported as Other Income.
Not Rented for Profit
If you don’t rent your property to make a profit, you can’t deduct rental expenses in excess of the amount of your rental income. You can’t deduct a loss or carry forward to the next year any rental expenses that are more than your rental income for the year.
Where to report.
Report your not-for-profit rental income on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8. If you itemize your deductions, include your mortgage interest and mortgage insurance premiums (if you use the property as your main home or second home), real estate taxes, and casualty losses from your not-for-profit rental activity when figuring the amount you can deduct on Schedule A.
Presumption of profit.
If your rental income is more than your rental expenses for at least 3 years out of a period of 5 consecutive years, you are presumed to be renting your property to make a profit.
