Changes in tax deductions for SALT and mortgage interest for 2018

[intangible]

@RealEstatebull

Can you aggregate all the loss for a rental over the years and reduce the income when you sell for a profit down the road? can the losses in schedule E be offset with your Stock gains for same year?

Yes & No

@RealEstatebull

So it would make all the sense to show losses on rentals while paying off primary (or invest elsewhere). One more: Can we take the loss on one and offset a gain on others (rentals)?

No

I was looking at the exact same questions last month. Here’s the thread

Got following answer from HnR Block “Depreciation recapture will apply to any improvements but not to appliances.”
