Rental income

Net rental income for tax purposes — gross rent − operating expenses − depreciation. Save a Mortgage instance for the same property to layer in interest deductions; combine with the STR loophole tool to determine if a loss can offset W-2 income.

Tax year

Revenue

Total rent collected for the year, before any expenses.

Use of property (§ 280A)

Personal use exceeding the GREATER of 14 days or 10% of rental days makes the property a residence — losses are disallowed.

Schedule E expenses

Line numbers match Form Schedule E. Mortgage interest (line 12) lives on the Mortgage instance — link it to the same property.

Lines of credit, owner financing — not the primary mortgage.

Depreciation (line 18)

Straight-line MACRS for the building. If a Cost-seg instance for the same property is saved, it overrides this in the Forecaster (acceleration ratio + bonus).
