Claiming rental income for taxes
My wife told me that she heard rental income up to the price of the mortgage was not required to be reported for tax reasons. I have never heard this and to me it sounds wrong but when I mentioned it she said that I was wrong. Can anyone help me understand if there is a time/ way that rental income is exempt from being claimed on taxes? Thank you.

Cherish this moment because it may be the only time you get to be right and the wife is 100% wrong.
All rental income is required to be reported. It goes on Sch E and can be offset by certain expenses, I would consult with a tax pro.
