2026 New York Landlord Tax Guide
Overview
New York landlords usually run a layered workflow: federal reporting on Schedule E first, then New York status/adjustment checks where applicable. Use the instructions/forms for your filing year; New York updates these annually. (Schedule E about, Schedule E PDF, IT-201-I, IT-203-I)
High-risk points include repair-vs-improvement treatment, depreciation setup, passive loss assumptions, and missing NY modification checks. (IRS Pub 527, IRS Pub 946, IRS Pub 925, IT-225-I)
