Question

My S-corp business owns a rental property that was taken out of service for the whole of 2023, no rental income. How do I handle this on my tax return for the business?

What happens to the depreciation, utilities, real estate taxes, etc. paid in 2023? Is there an IRS publication that references this situation?

Can you give details about why it was not in service?  Repairs?  Improvements?  Personal use by you?  Something else?

 

As a side note, it generally isn't a good idea to have real estate in an S-corporation.  In many cases it won't matter, but in other cases it could have poor tax results.
