Rental Property Tax Preparation in Millersport, OH
Rental property taxes are reported on Schedule E and involve some of the most valuable deductions in the tax code — depreciation chief among them. Millersport landlords can typically depreciate the structure (excluding land) over 27.5 years for residential property, which alone often eliminates taxable rental income. Add operating expenses, mortgage interest, repairs vs. improvements, and passive activity rules, and Schedule E becomes the most complex schedule most individual filers face.

What's the difference between a repair and an improvement?+
Repairs maintain existing function (fixing a leak, painting a wall) and are immediately deductible. Improvements add value or extend life (new roof, kitchen remodel, HVAC replacement) and must be capitalized and depreciated over years. The distinction has huge tax impact — we apply IRS Tangible Property Regulations to maximize current deductions.
Why does my rental show a loss when I made money?+
Depreciation. The IRS lets you deduct ~3.64% of the building cost annually for 27.5 years (residential rental). On a $200,000 property (with $40,000 land value), that's $5,818/year of depreciation deduction. Add operating expenses, and many cash-positive rentals show paper losses on Schedule E.
Can I deduct rental losses against my W-2 income?+
Generally rental losses are passive losses, which can only offset passive income. EXCEPTION: if your AGI is under $100,000 and you actively participate (make management decisions), you can deduct up to $25,000 in rental losses against ordinary income. The exception phases out between $100k-$150k AGI.
