Rental income + expenses

Report the property with the right records behind it.

Personal tax preparation for landlords reporting rental income, eligible expenses and changes involving a rental property.

What records are needed for rental income tax?

Start with rent received, expense records, ownership details, property changes and the prior-year return or notice of assessment. Sangita will confirm what else applies to your property.

Information commonly reviewed

  • Rental income received during the year
  • Property taxes, insurance and eligible operating expenses
  • Repairs, maintenance and larger property improvements
  • Mortgage-interest and financing information
  • Ownership percentages and personal use, where relevant
  • Purchase, sale or change-in-use details

Separate records reduce uncertainty

Organized income and expense records make it easier to identify what belongs on the return and what requires additional clarification.

Common questions

Do I report rental income on my personal return?

Individual landlords generally report rental income and eligible expenses with their T1 personal income tax return.

What if I sold the rental property?

Tell Sangita about the sale before the return is prepared. Purchase, improvement and disposition records may be important to the capital-gains calculation.

Can Sangita help with more than one property?

Yes. Identify every property and the relevant ownership information when requesting a consultation.
