Question 23. Daniel owns a vacation home that he rents out for part of the year and uses for personal use during the remainder of the year. In tax year 2021, he rented the home to unrelated individuals for 72 days and used it for 8 days of personal use. The home was vacant all other days. The vacation home incurred the following expenses: $2,000 of mortgage interest, $1,000 of property taxes, $5,000 of expenses other than depreciation, and $12,000 of depreciation. Daniel received $15,500 of rental income. Which choice accurately describes the 2021 tax consequences for Daniel's vacation home? [The IRS allocation method (days of use) should be used where allocations are required.] A. The home is classified as "purely rental". Daniel may claim the ($2,500) net rental loss on Schedule E and on his 1040 (subject to passive activity rules). For the personal portion of the taxes and interest, Daniel may claim an itemized deduction for $100 of property taxes but may not claim an itemized deduction for mortgage interest because the "purely rental" designation causes the home to not be a "qualified residence". B. The home is classified as "purely personal". Daniel may claim an itemized deduction for $2,000 of mortgage interest and $1,000 of property taxes. Daniel will both exclude the rental income and disallow the rental expenses. C. The home is classified as "purely rental". Daniel would report $0 on his tax return for the rental portion because the ($2,500) net rental loss is disallowed and carried forward for future use. For the personal portion of the taxes and interest, Daniel may claim an itemized deduction for $200 of mortgage interest and $100 of property taxes. D. The home is classified as "mixed use". Daniel would report $0 on his tax return for the rental portion because the ($2,500) net rental loss is disallowed and carried forward for future use. For the personal portion of the taxes and interest, Daniel may claim an itemized deduction for $200 of mortgage interest and $100 of property taxes
