Lindsay Ferlin Question about insurance, taxes, subleasing and entities

Rental income is shown on sch.E which is not subject to social security taxes (like FICA) but all the other taxes.When you're renting property vs owning, you can't depreciate it but your rent payments are totally tax deductible (vs only interest on mortgage is).Insurance: you'll have to get Tenant or renter insurance which protects the property and your liability if someone slips and falls, set building on fire etc. this is not your professional insurance - just regular insurance you have for your home.I don't see how kind of entity will affect the taxes: if it's just you the owner, LLC will be disregarded entity and shown on your own taxes, only on different schedules.
