We have rental property and I entered the information for Rentals. Line 22 has -25,000 - Can I deduct this for 2019. We recently retired and my income dropped so I am checking if this is an error? Thank you.
Yes, you most likely can deduct the $25,000 (which the IRS calls the special allowance) provided you do not exceed the income criteria and either you or your spouse actively participate in the rental activity.
