Tax Expense Deduction
We just recently purchased a rental property in Utah from out of state. Prior to renting out the home we will have to fly out there to prep the home for rent. Just wondering if we can count expenses incurred for flying out, purchasing washer/dryer, keeping the water/electricity on, and other maintenance items on our tax returns to lower our taxable income?
