Home rental while working abroad

Mar 13, 2008 2 Replies

My son is in China on a teaching assignment since Aug 2007. He is renting his hous eto a friend. How should I treat it for tax purposes.



Michael


It's a rental property which he reports on Schedule E of the 1040. See IRS Publication 527.

Michael: I don't know how you should treat it, but your son should treat it just like any other rentals: rental incomes, expenses, depreciations, that kind of stuff.
