Is My Rental Property Tax Deductible?

For many, the prospect of turning their property into a source of rental income is very exciting. However, that excitement can turn to confusion when it comes to taxes. That’s where you step in.With your help, clients will have a better understanding of how taxes play a role in renting out their property. Using this flowchart will prepare you to handle their questions and identify certain tax rules that may apply to their situation.

This flowchart covers important distinguishing factors and tax concepts a client needs to know of when renting their property, such as:

  • Understanding how personally using their rental property may affect its taxation.
  • Recognizing how their rental property may be classified based on certain qualifying criteria, and being cognizant of how that fits in with their overall tax picture.
  • Identifying the extent to which rental expense deductions and rental income must be reported on their tax returns.
  • Being aware of how rental losses may be treated, and the effect that can have on their tax plan.

“I just met with a client who had a question regarding her eligibility for Social Security benefits. We went through the flowcharts answering each question and following the lines. She looked at me and said 'This is great, it was so much easier to use this than trying to go through all the literature that Social Security offers. Thank you so much.'”
— Ben G, an advisor in Wisconsin

“In client meetings I'm often sharing a checklist regarding a specific topic, and helping clients understand the planning issues, opportunities, and process all very quickly and efficiently.”
— An advisor in Texas
“The charts are probably as much value to me (as advisor) as they are when given to a specific client. I know and understand the topics covered, but it can be a lot faster to refresh with a quick glance at the chart’s decision tree vs having to read through regulations”
— Larry, an advisor in Oregon
“fpPathfinder is a great tool! It mirrors much of what I've developed on my own for tax planning, life events, etc. However, it's been great to double-check my own work in those areas and also to motivate me to deepen my knowledge on other topics”
— Jonathan, an advisor in Colorado
