why are my rental income and deductible losses shown as zero?

[ThomasM125]

I think you mean you have a loss on your rental activity but it is not being deducted from the other income on your tax return. This will happen if you rent your property for less than fair market value or if you use the property for personal purposes for the greater of 14 days or 10% of the time it was rented during the year. 

Also, you can normally only deduct up to $25,000 of a rental loss against personal income each year, but that is not true once your income is over $150,000. 

If you think these constraints do not apply to you, you will need to review your rental entries and make corrections as needed.

I am not looking to harvest a loss. I fear that the rental income section might be missing information
