You report all rents received and expenses of the property on form Schedule E Here is how to show that in TurboTax:
To enter your rental income and expenses:
- In TurboTax, search for rentals and then click the "Jump to" link in the search result.
- Answer Yes to the question Did you have any rental or royalty income and expenses?
- Follow the on-screen instructions as you proceed through the rental and royalties section.
- We'll first ask you to enter general information about your rental (description, address, ownership percentage, etc.)
- Eventually, you'll come to the Rental Summary screen which is where you enter your rental income and expenses, assets and depreciation, and vehicle expenses.
Tip: Rent is considered income in the year you received it, not the year it applies to.
If you're also filing a nonresident state return to report income from an out-of-state rental property, be sure to complete your nonresident state return before you prepare your resident state return when you get to the State Taxes section.
In most cases, a taxpayer must report all rental income on their tax return. In general, they use Schedule E (Form 1040) to report income and expenses from rental real estate. If a taxpayer has a loss from rental real estate, they may have to reduce their loss or it may not be allowed.
