Home office for landlord

[Cynthia4sure]

Can you take a home office deduction for a landlord, and how do you get the calculation to roll to the Schedule E?

[Just-Lisa-Now- · Accepted solution]

I use a dummy Sch C with the net profit of the rental as income, then print it and keep it in the file, I enter the OIH exp in Other Expenses on Sch E.

Dont forget to delete the dummy Sch C.

Is it 100% exclusively devoted to the schedule e-rental operation? Read up on home office rules they are strict.
