This is due to the fact that the IRS allows a taxpayer to claim mortgage interest (on one rental property) and property taxes on a rental property that were not available to be deducted under rental expenses as part of a taxpayer's itemized (Schedule A) deductions.<BR /></P> Tue, 04 Jun 2019 19:24:07 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/investments-and-rental-properties/discussion/yes-if-you-entered-the-full-amount-of-your-rental-mortga/01/391031#M15874 DS30 2019-06-04T19:24:07Z
