Should I delete Schedule E for a property that was converted from rental to home use on 01/01/2025, if I keep getting errors in both: days rented & days of personal use?

[Jul21720]

I entered 01/01/2025 as the Disposition date, when I enter o for days rented and 365 for days of personal use, I get an error message stating that the unit is an owner occupied rental property. What am I missing?

Are there suspended passive losses associated with it?

What would happen to the cost basis and accumulated depreciation if you deleted it?

[Just-Lisa-Now-]

I usually print out the depreciation details worksheet (for recapture purposes once its sold) and then delete the Sch D

Ive heard other people put all assets to .01% business use and leave the Sch E in place, they both accomplish the same thing.  

EDIT:  I hadnt considered suspended losses, maybe the .01% bus usage and leave the Sch E intact along with the 8582 is a better bet?

I reduce assets to .01% business use as Lisa suggests.  Works fine.

I would make a note of the depreciation and any passive losses and delete the Schedule E worksheet (unless there are other passive activities that would use the passive loss carryover).

As others noted, some people keep it, but I don't want an unnecessary blank Schedule E filed with the tax returns.

Thanks so much for responding to my question, I do have another related one; client owns another rental property that it was in such a bad shape that had to be demolished, client continue paying the mortgage on the demolished property, client wants to build a new one to continue renting it, since the property no longer exist, I am going to stop depreciation on it, how do I treat these payments since client already owns two personal properties. I would really appreciate your help on the subject.

It is currently not a rental, so it isn't a rental expense.

My first inclination is that I would capitalize the expenses by making a §1.266-1 election.  That would result in deduction now, but adds to the Basis of the property for when it is eventually sold.
