Essentially you are creating future tax free income by being able to roll over these losses.If your income is between $100,000 and $150,000, a portion of that $150 loss is deductible and the rest rolls forward.If your income is less than $100,000, your loss is fully deductible - and THAT's the cool thing about rental income.
