Rental Property & Real Estate Tax Services

Rental-property tax reporting involves more than adding up rent and expenses. Alliance Financial & Income Tax helps property owners report rental activity and evaluate tax questions involving improvements, depreciation, personal use, and property sales.

Questions we can help you address

• How should rental income and expenses be reported?
• Is a project a repair or an improvement?
• What records support depreciation and the property's tax basis?
• How might personal use, rental-loss limitations, or a property sale affect the return?
• What should you review before a major purchase, improvement, or sale?

Bring the history of the property

Useful records include prior depreciation schedules, purchase and closing documents, income and expense summaries, improvement invoices, and details of any personal use. If you sold a property, include the sale closing statement and related records.

Plan before a significant transaction

A planning review can help you understand the potential tax effects before you commit to major work or a sale. The treatment depends on the property, the activity, and your circumstances; a large expense or rental loss does not automatically produce an immediate tax benefit.
