Which of the following statements is correct?

B. A rental loss may be deducted if rental-related expenses exceed rental income.
C. Utilities and maintenance on the property must be divided between personal and rental use.
D. All mortgage interest and taxes on the property will be deducted to determine the property’s net income or loss.

Answer: C

Explanation:

Choice "c" is correct. Because the second property was personally used more than 14 days, any net loss from the rental of the property will be disallowed.

All related expenses must be prorated between the personal use portion and the rental activity portion.

Prorated depreciation is permitted for the rental activity.
