If I have a rental property, does it get listed in business or personal section?

In TurboTax, you will be using TurboTax Premier Online or Desktop (or higher) to enter your rental property.

Tip: If your rental property is located out-of-state, make sure you first set up that state properly in Personal Info. That way, when you do your state taxes, we'll be ready to go.

Now let's enter that rental:

  1. In the Personal section when using the desktop Home & Business edition

    • Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home & Business)
    • Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home & Business)
    • Click on I'll choose what I work on
    • Scroll down to Rental Properties and Royalties
  • 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
    • Rental expenses
    • Capital assets and depreciation
    • Vehicle expenses
