NECPA in NEBRASKA Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Normally, rental property doesn't get a home office deduction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaB Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I agree that normally Sch E filers do not have a home office or the deduction. That's why the data won't flow. It also won't flow for Sch F filers or unreimbursed partners. However, in Pub 587, the instructions address using a worksheet (instead of Form 8829) for farmers and unreimbursed partners. If the rentals are a trade or business, I think you'd have an argument for using the worksheet and taking the deduction. (I'd just use 8829 and enter the results on Sch E manually, we've established that it won't flow. keep the 8829 in the file. give taxpayer a copy). There was a landlord who successfully defended the deduction in tax court. It wasn't me, and I've never entered that deduction for a landlord. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee B Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 However , I have entered UPE on the schedule E page 2 worksheet for an LLC partner when the only office for the LLC was the home office for one of the partners. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
