For properties you've owned longer, 250 or more hours of rental services must have been performed in at least three of the past five years. Rental services include advertising the property for rent, collecting rent, and completing routine repairs or maintenance on the property. Maintain meticulous records, including time logs for hours of all services performed, a description of all services performed, dates on which such services were performed, and who provided the services. Attach this report to your tax return.
