Hello, When entering information about a rental property there is a question: "Is this rental activity considered a business for tax purposes?" What are the implications of selecting 'Yes' versus 'No'? The property is a 3 family home in which I occupy 1 unit and rent out the other 2 units.
I own a multi-family property where I live on the 1st and 2nd floors, and I rent out the 3rd floor. When the software asks about the number of days for personal use vs. rental use, I’m unsure how to handle it since the entire property has 365 days in a year. Here’s how I’m using it: I use the 1st and 2nd floors for…
I thought I used CalFile successfully last year, and I have a rental home with Schedule E. Then I saw we couldn't use CalFile free if we have Schedule E or some other forms. Any thoughts about this? Do I have to file on FreeTaxUSA and pay the $14.99 for the state return?

I have a multifamily home with 3 units. I live in one unit and the other 2 are rentals that had been rented out prior to 2023. In 2023 I did not rent the units out or advertise them. I do intend to rent the units out again, but would like to do some more work such as having the driveway repaved first. Can I deduct expenses…
I converted a rental to my primary residence and I'm carrying (for several years) disallowed deprecation losses. How can I get the application to add the correct forms?
