The tax structure of a rental property includes depreciation, passive activity rules, repair-versus-improvement classification, and entity-structure decisions.
Understanding how these rules interact can change how much tax an investor pays each year. For example, depreciation allows rental property owners to deduct a portion of the property’s value annually, while passive loss rules determine whether those losses offset other income.
