Tax Benefits To Owning A Rental Home

MELBOURNE, Fla. - Nov. 16, 2022 - PRLog -- Per Steve Neville, Broker owner of Best Brevard Rentals
Tax benefits of owning a rental home come in different forms. And, if the property is in one of the states that do not have a state-level income tax, it becomes all the more advantageous and profitable. Although, you don't have to be in a completely tax-free state in order to be able to benefit from some of the tax advantages when you own a rental property. Here are some of the tax benefits you will enjoy when owning a rental home:

1. Operating expense deductions.  When you own a rental property, it's possible to write off many of the operating expenses that it takes to maintain the house. These can include things such as maintenance, repairs, insurance, property management, and many others as well.
2. Depreciation.  Property investors usually have their tax professionals depreciate their assets in order to lower their taxes. This can be done over a number of years and is best executed through an experienced, professional tax advisor.
3. Federal income tax.  When you own a rental property, the income generated from that asset is treated as regular income, meaning that the rate paid on it equals your personal income.
4. Capital meetings deferment.  Owning a rental property also gives you the option to defer capital gains, which is another big tax benefit of owning a rental home.
5. Mortgage interest deduction.  If you have a mortgage on your rental property, you'll likely be able to deduct the mortgage interest on your taxes, as well.
6. Pass through deduction.  There's also another option that is available to some rental property owners, called the pass-through deduction. If applicable, you'll be able to deduct as much as 20% of the earnings from the rental property if it is considered a business.

As you can see, there are several tax benefits to owning a rental home. To learn more about these and others, consult a licensed, experienced tax professional who can help you strategize and set up your filings to make your rental asset as profitable as possible.
