Renting house in another state

[WalterL]

i rented one house in California and another house in Ohio this year. Can I add income from Ohio house into California tax return?

No, for the California rent credit, the rent must be paid in California.

See Nonrefundable renter's credit | FTB.ca.gov.

I   rent house in Ohio and rent another house in California. I  live in my own house in California. I wanted to know if I can report income  from Ohio house  in California tax return. This would allow to report rental income  for one state instead of two.

Just to be clear, you have a rental property in Ohio and another rental property in California, plus you are a resident of California.  If that is true and you have a positive income for your Ohio rental property, then you are required as a non-resident of Ohio to file an Ohio tax return since your income is from an Ohio source (your rental property).

Additionally, if you are a resident of California, you will report all of your income on your California tax return.  This includes the income from your Ohio rental property.  

For your situation, reporting rental income for only one state instead of two is not an option.

If the assumptions were incorrect and your question was misunderstood, please respond again.

Your assumptions were correct. Thanks so much for such a detailed answer.

Hello,

I pay GE and TAT taxes on my net income for a vacation rental home in Maui. Can I deduct those from my California state taxes?
