Rental income must be reported on your tax return, and generally, associated expenses can be deducted from your rental income. Reviewing answers to the following common questions regarding rental property may help you understand the tax implications of rental property ownership: What is considered rental income? What deductions can I take as an owner of rental property? What are some things I should know about rental property? Contact your local Jackson Hewitt office for more information or assistance. Use the Office Locator feature available on this Web site or call 1-800-234-1040 to find the Jackson Hewitt location most convenient to you. What is considered rental income? Rental income is any income you receive for the use or occupancy of property you own. Some examples are: Rent Payment to cancel a lease Advance rent Expenses paid by the tenant Any security deposit kept because a tenant did not fulfill their part of the rental agreement Do not include: A security deposit you are holding with the intent of returning it to the tenant at the end of the lease Income received from renting your home for fewer than 15 days per year Back to Top What deductions can I take as an owner of rental property? Deductible expenses for rental property are the ordinary and necessary expenses to manage, conserve, and maintain your property. Deductible expenses include: Advertising in the newspaper for tenants and cost of signs Cleaning supplies Real estate taxes Mortgage and other interest paid for the rental property Cost of insurance-hazard, flood, fire, or liability Payments for service such as lawn care, pest control, and trash collection Payments for maintenance of the property Professional fees for tax advice and tax return preparation fees for the part of the tax return dealing with rental property Cost of new locks and keys Commissions paid for finding tenants Cost of necessary transportation to and from the rental property for the purpose of maintenance, management, rent collection, picking up supplies, or checking the property (if you use your personal vehicle, either keep track of actual expenses and miles traveled or just the miles traveled) Cost of repairs and maintenance (not improvements) to keep your property in good condition (this includes items such as repainting and fixing floors and windows) Cost of renting equipment used for the rental property Depreciation of the property (not including the land) Depreciation of appliances, furnishings, and improvements Any long distance calls associated with your rental property The court costs for evicting a tenant Legal fees pertaining to the rental property or tenants Utilities Expenses incurred when the property is not rented as long as you are actively trying to rent the property (even if you are renting it for the first time) You cannot deduct: Rental income lost due to vacancy The cost of improvements which increase the value and/or extend the life of the property or modify it for a new use (includes such things as a room addition, new carpet, new appliances, fencing, or a new roof - these items can generally be depreciated) Back to Top What Are Some Things I Should Know About Rental Property? If you rent only part of your property, certain expenses must be divided between the part used as rental property and the part used for personal purposes. If you do not rent your property for profit, you can deduct your rental expenses only up to the amount of your rental income. When rental property is sold, the resulting gain or loss is treated as ordinary or capital, depending on the circumstances. The rental of personal property such as equipment or vehicles is reported as business income. You are in the business of renting personal property if the primary purpose for renting the property is income or profit and you are involved in the activity on a continuous and regular basis. If your rental of personal property is not a business, other rules for reporting will apply. Losses from residential rental properties are subject to certain limitations. If you are considered a real estate professional, special rules apply for the reporting of income and losses. For more information, contact your local Jackson Hewitt Tax Service office. Back to Top Back to Tax Topics Tax Tips CASUALTY AND THEFT LOSS - AUTO If you have been involved in an automobile accident, the damage to your car may be considered a casualty loss. This would apply if the loss were not due to your negligence or the negligence of someone driving your vehicle. The loss must first be reduced by any insurance or other reimbursement plus $100, and then by 10% of your adjusted gross income. home | about us | tax news | tackle your taxes | learn & earn | own a franchise | work with us | privacy/terms of use © 2004 Jackson Hewitt Inc.

Foreclosure Property

Foreclosures Real Estate Website Directory [ Home ] [ Add a Website ] [ Modify a Website ] [ New ] [ Top Rated ] [ Email Updates ] [ Search ] Advanced search MAIN MENU TOP 100 SITES HOMES FOR SALE FOR REALTORS ADD YOUR WEBSITE JOIN THE TOP 100 LIST POST YOUR LISTINGS CONTACT SUPPORT ADVERTISING WEBMASTER Foreclosures Tips on buying a Foreclosure There are three types of foreclosure opportunities to look for. Pre-foreclosures, which are in the period before the foreclosure sale. Foreclosures, which exist when the property is taken back by the lender and sold at public sales. REOs, which exist when the lender ends up with the foreclosed property in it's own inventory after the public sale. How do I find the owners and borrowers? Pre-foreclosure Properties – You can approach the owner or borrower up until the time when the property actually is sold through foreclosure proceedings. If the owner or borrower isn’t living in the property, use one or more of these methods to hunt them down: * Don't be shy! KNOCK ON THE DOOR! - Simply be polite and see if you can gather information directly from the homeowner or renter. If you can get in the door you stand a much better chance of making an offer or finding out where the owner is. You are offering folks a way out of foreclosure -and possibly a more lenient approach than the bank might take to when they must vacate- if you buy the home. * By Mail – Send a letter to the owner/borrower at the property address or leave a letter for the owner/borrower at the property address (if you put it inside a mailbox, the USPS requires that you put a first-class stamp on it). In the letter, explain that you understand the property is going into foreclosure, and that you have some options so the owner/borrower can avoid credit problems, or possibly even retain ownership. * Use Public Records – If the owner/borrower doesn’t live in the property, check with the county courthouse. They’ll have the owner/borrower’s name on record. * Ask Neighbors – If the property is vacant, talk with neighbors to see if anyone knows how to reach the owner/borrower. Be sure to tell them you’ve got information to help the owner/borrower. * Open the Telephone Book – If you still can’t locate the owner/borrower, try calling people who have the same last name. You might happen upon a relative. Foreclosure Properties – You’ll find foreclosed properties at a public sales. The day, date, time and place is published in the newspaper. The usual location for foreclosure sales is at the county courthouse, and sometimes, they’re conducted on the courthouse steps. REOs – After the foreclosure proceedings, the lender may end up with the property if no one bids more than the lender’s bid, which is equal to the loan balance. At this point, the property is referred to as an REO or “real estate owned” (by the lender) property. REOs are great investment opportunities.
