Investors & landlords

Yes, we deducted for the entire year.  I had possession of it on November 29, and listed it in TT tax as rented for 332 days.  At the time, I didn't think letting it sit vacant while getting it ready for sale was considered personal use.   Right now, I'm thinking of not amending and changing it to personal use a few days before the closing happened.  By amending I get a small refund for 2021, but increase my tax bill for 2022.   The difference in money between the years isn't the issue, it's minor.    

 

As far as the pending (incomplete) amended return goes, TT changed some numbers on the carryover worksheet to blanks, and wouldn't let me leave them that way.  It just doesn't like what I think are the correct numbers.  If it hadn't done that, I probably would have moved ahead with the amendment.

 

Meanwhile, I'll keep plugging away on re-creating the original 2021 return.
