Hello,

I own a house and its primary residence and I have rented out 2 rooms to students for longer term. I am on H1B visa. Please advise how would i file the taxes for rental income and for deduction considering I am on work visa and cannot show active involvement like there is in Air Bnb etc.

I am new to this and I understand that there is one particular schedule, one over the other ( Like Schedule C instead of A) to address this issue. Any advise is appreciated.

Thanks.

@msbrar , you report rental income on Schedule-E. On expenses side of this Schedule you can include (pro-rated) items like mortgage interest, utilities, depreciation, property taxes etc. etc. Please see the following pub from the IRS:

2022 Publication 527 (irs.gov)

If you need more on this please feel free to post more here or PM with specific questions ( no PII though ).
