20 September 2015 | 8 replies
You wrote a blog that spoke to the line-by-line item of tax treatment and what items would be used for deduction where and why. http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/06/07...With these changes, how do we account for these if the form is no longer to be used-my understanding at least as it's being replaced?
