Hello all, I have a question. I see some clients charging a super low amount for rent for their rental properties. I recently learned that if they are not charging FMV that we should not be reporting it on a schedule E and instead just count it as "Other income" does anyone here in the community do this? Do you get any pushback from clients stating they want to write off expenses etc when they charge below fmv? Im so lost and i feel like its making my job harder as i dont know how to determine exactly what fmv is for their specific property.. i mean i have a rough idea..but how should we handle this? what if its a situation where the landlord never raises rent cause they are good tenants and the fmv is 3,000 but they only charge them 1200 etc. any feedback whether you feel its wrong or not is helpful as i would like to hear what everyone else is doing.
