Question

I rented to my father until Oct '21, when I made him 49% owner. He passed in Dec '22 and ownership reverted. I started renting again in Feb '23. How do I handle this?

Specifically thinking about things like depreciation.  Additionally, the house address (not the parcel number) changed during the process.  I know I will have tax liability to sort out when I eventually sell, but I'm just trying to properly handle 2023 rental income/expenses.

We need some clarification in order to help you.

  1. Was this house set up as a rental when you rented to your father?
  2. Did you always rent at fair rental value?
  3. Do you live in this same home?
  4. Did you have a gift tax return completed when you made your father 49% owner of the property or did he pay you for it?
  5. How was it handled when the property reverted back to you?

Once we have a few more details about what has taken place during the rental periods we can provide more specific answers to your questions.
