New to rental income ... confusing in the turbo tax
questionaire ...

I claimed $15600 on rental income but I also had a 10800
mortgage payment for the year. It allowed me to claim
repairs, but it nev er asked me about mortgage I paid on the
rental? Isn't the net "income" rental income minus mortgage
payment? I can claim mortgage interest?

What can / can't you claim to offset income?

thanks

If you are new to rentals, you should get a professional to
do your return, at least for this year.
