Sean and Jenny
The deductible net loss for the rental of their home is:
= $18,241.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Number of days for rent of $3,000 collected = 40 days
Number of personal use of house = 18 days
Total number of days that the house was in use = 58 days
House Expenses:
Mortgage interest $14,000
Property taxes 3,500
Utilities 1,100
Maintenance 1,300
Depreciation 10,900
Total expenses $30,800
Proportion of house expense:
Rental use = $21,241 (40/58 * $30,800) 69%
Personal use = $9,559 (18/58 * $30,800) 31%
Total expense $30,800
The deductible net loss for the rental of their home is $18,241 ($3,000 - $21,241).
