Unlike the other Quit Claim questions here, mine is non-familial. I’m having my absent business partner Quit Claim her half of our investment property to me. We bought the home for 5,000 back in 2004, and it’s lost value and is now worth ,000. I was hoping to deduct this loss when I sell it this year. What amount must I Quit Claim the property from her to me for to ensure that I’m not paying additional taxes or not getting my loss deductions? I owe ,900 on the home and it’s located in Pennsylvania.

Thank you so much in advance!

Thank you

my wifes parents are claiming bankruptcy (business closed) and are leaving their house. we would like to buy a housethey could stay in, near to us (within 5 miles). Some lenders require more (down payment/higher rate) because this is an "investment property" but i have been told that they are family and this could be my second home (lower down/lower rate). my attorney states that we should have a lease, and would pay taxes on a fair market rent, but we dont plan on charging them. Will I have to pay taxes on a non-existent income? can I still get the tax deductions for mortgage interest and city taxes I pay? can they homestead the property? I’m lost. any knowledgeable direction is greatly appreciated. Basically, can I buy a second home for myself and let my in-laws stay for free? Will I have claim this as income producing (even though it’s not)? Are tax advantages better one way or another?

As an insurance CSR, every year several insureds ask me for their expenses on home insurance and auto insurance policies. Yes, not commercial auto or commercial property, but personal-sounding expenses. Is there an itemized deduction for this stuff that I’m just not thinking of, or is there probably a vehicle being used for business, and a home office or investment property concerned?
