Income reporting (forms and workflow)

Federal first

Most landlords report rental income and expenses on Schedule E. Close this lane first, then map into New Mexico PIT.

IRS Publication 527 · Schedule E instructions

NM PIT form lane (required): Pull filing-year PIT forms and instructions from official TRD pages only. Do not use third-party PIT-1 instruction mirrors as source-of-truth.

The full guide covers deductible expense controls, depreciation workflow, estimated-payment requirements (TRD estimated payments + FYI-320), STR GRT/CRS compliance, property valuation protest steps, and official links for every major claim.
