Renting your home for a film or photo shoot

Varies

Can You Write Off Renting Your Home for a Film or Photo Shoot?

Short answer: If your home is rented fewer than 15 days in the year, including shoots and event bookings, the income is tax-free and you deduct nothing.

More days than that and it's taxable rental income with a share of expenses deductible.

Records to keep: Keep leases, receipts, a log of repairs vs improvements, mileage to the property, and closing statements.
