Are you searching for more information on rental property tax deductions?

2021 is quickly drawing to a close, and now is the right time of year to start organizing for filing taxes in 2022.

Understanding which expenses are tax deductible for your rental property is important. And, knowing how to deduct rental property expenses which expenses you can deduct now versus depreciate over time is also important. There is a difference according to the IRS in repairs vs rental property improvements for tax purposes.

If you do something to a property to add value, you must depreciate that expense over 27.5 years and can’t deduct that entire expense in the year it was incurred.

Deducting repair costs and other things such as property management fees, taxes, utilities are all things that can be deducted in the year they were incurred.

Owning a rental property tax deductions are great but educate yourself so you aren’t surprised on what you can and can’t do. Check out www.irs.gov for more information on allowable deductible expenses.
