Answer:

The rental income along with deductions will be reported on Form 1040, Schedule E, Part I.

Rental income

  • Rent paid(2400*8)= 19200(included)
  • Advance rent(2400*2)= 4800(taxed in the year in which it is received)(included)
  • Security deposit= 2000(not included in income as it would be returned if no damages are incurred)

           Total rental income = $24000

            Less deductions

  • Property taxes= 2600
  • Repairs= 320
  • Lawn maintenance= 540
  • Insurance= 1800
  • Street paving assessment= 2100(not included)

Total deductions= $5260

              Net rental income= 24000- 5260

                                          = $18740
