When my rental income has a net loss, what do I enter for the Net Rental amount in the State return? negative number, 0 or the gross rental income?

Hi,

 

I live in Florida but has a short term vacation rental in Hawaii.

 

I have a gross income of rental about 12,022, but net -20,000 loss on the rental due to expanse and depreciation.

 

After I finished Federal and when I filed non-resident tax for Hawaii, on the Rents page for Hawaii state return, it says:

Enter the portion of your net income from rents, royalties, and flow-through entities that was derived in Hawaii. If non, enter zero:

Net Income from Rents, Royalties:  The Federal amount is $0, Hawaii Amount: ???

 

What should I enter for Hawaii amount: -20,000, 0, or 12,022?  So far I enter $12,022 but I think I may be wrong here and would like to seek clarification.

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

 

Mei
