I am open to joint ventures.

Married filling joint.

Since I can accept payment via both ACH and CC, I've been putting a 3% surcharge on credit cards (available by request).

My understanding is that whatever "net income" I have from my rental is taxed at whatever income tax bracket my wife and I are in.My wife and I file jointly and our taxable income puts us in the 25% bracket, so my understanding is that if we make say $4000 net income from our duplex then we pay $1000 in fed taxes on that.Are you saying that is incorrect?

Do we both record 50% in our own separate QuickBook accounts or do we need a joint account now??

a joint venture agreement would be best
