Introduction
T
his is a book about income tax deductions for landlords—that is, people who
own residential rental property. If you are one of the millions of Americans
who owns a small number of residental rental units (one to ten), this book is
for you. And even landlords who own dozens of residential rental properties will find
lots of useful information in this book that can help them save money.
• rental property owners now need IRS permission to amend their returns to
use segmented depreciation, and
• 50% bonus depreciation ended on December 31, 2004.
