Tax advantages for owning rentals
Is there any good place to calculate the specific tax advantage to owning a rental? For example: When I purchase a rental, how much money will that save me this year on my taxes? Besides quickbooks or talking to my CPA. Just wondering if there is a quick calculator for it.

@Laurie Clarkston and @Lynnette E. there is no quick option because there are SO MANY VARIABLES that can count a buisness expense.
Standard we talk about are:
- Rent
- Utilties
- Taxes
- Management
However these are some we don't talk about:
- depreciation
- internet and cell phones
- Your personal utilities
- Office rental
- etc....
There are so many options which is why I'm grateful for our CPA. Instead of us having to taxes on income we were able to declare a loss and had the government give us money! So many perks of being a small buisness owner and guess what your rentals are a buisness.
