    rental

    I know we have answered this before..but my brain is stuck in the mud right now.

    Very elderly client has a rental house. In 2009 she had a little income but people wouldn't get out of house and really make a wreck of it. She didn't rent it in 2010....needs so much work and she is very old and has had a stroke. In fact, they put the house up for sale.

    Do I put the Sch E in the return this year and claim the depreciation and taxes on the property? I am thinking I can't do that. But just wanted to make sure.

    Linda, EA

      Since it was not "available" for rent, no Sche E. But real estate taxes would still be deductible on Sche A, if she could itemize.

          some homeless person probably is camping out there....not paying any rent. It was available to them.

          That is what I thought.
