If the home is a personal residence and/or only rented 14 days of the year or less, the tax structure is quite favorable. The rental income from the 14 (or less) days is tax-free, and you do not need to report it. You can deduct the full amount of the mortgage interest paid. You can also deduct the property taxes from your federal taxes. What is the Tax Structure for a Second Home that is Rented Out and Used by the Owner? A second home that is rented out for more than 14 days a year and is used by you, the owner, more than 14 days a year fits into a specific tax structure. You can deduct mortgage expenses and taxes only from the portion of the year that the house was personally used. For the other portion of the year, you can, as a landlord, deduct only the operating expenses. Keep in mind that lending the house to family members or charging them a rate below the market value counts toward the 14 days of personal use.
