Frequently asked questions
Are all rental losses deductible immediately?
No. Basis, at-risk, passive activity, excess business loss, and personal-use rules can limit the current deduction.
Where does rental depreciation go?
Depreciation for rental real estate is generally reported on Schedule E and supported by Form 4562 when the filing rules require it.
Should short-term rentals use Schedule E?
It depends on the services provided and the activity facts. Significant services can move the activity to Schedule C; use the current Schedule E instructions.
