Investors & landlords

Was the rental property not in service during these repairs or the gutters weren't in service?

 

You would report the $2,000 as a repair expense in 2021 since you paid the money in 2021 if this property was already being rented out.

 

If this was an expense to get the property ready to be a rental then it would not be deductible.
