Is a monthly loss on a rental property tax deductable?

If the mortgage on my property is $2400 and I rent it out for $1800 is the loss of $600 tax deductable in addition to the mortage interest?

Yes, you will be able to report your rental loss of $600 per month, or $7,200 on your Schedule E, for Passive Activity Losses.

Renting out Real Estate is usually considered a passive activity by the IRS, so it will be reported under Schedule E, not regular income. The IRS limites your losses from your rental business to a maximum of $25,000 per year (and this is the case if you have one or many rental properties.)

Let me know if you have any more questions and i would be more than happy to look further into this.
