Owning multiple properties comes with both opportunities and complexities, particularly regarding taxes. For taxpayers who rent out a non-primary residence, whether as a full-time, part-time, or casual rental, understanding how to properly allocate income and expenses is crucial. Navigating these tax rules can become significantly complicated when personal and rental usage overlap. 

This CE Course provides an essential deep dive into how the IRS views such scenarios, ensuring taxpayers and professionals stay compliant and maximize deductions. A vital aspect of this discussion will focus on IRC §280A, the tax code section that governs the use of dwelling units for rental purposes. We'll examine how taxpayers must calculate the percentage of days a property is used for rental versus personal use and how this affects deductible expenses. We’ll also review how particular forms are necessary for proper reporting, ensuring that the tax treatment aligns with the facts of the case.
