A RentRedi survey of U.S landlords finds that filing methods vary widely. A sizable 62% of small landlords file their rental property taxes along with their personal tax returns. Large landlords take the opposite approach, with only 29% filing under personal tax returns, while 66% opt to file under LLCs. Medium-sized landlords are almost evenly split between filing under personal tax returns (48%) and filing under an LLC (47%). Nearly two-thirds of landlords begin their tax preparation as soon as the new year begins, and requesting a tax extension is not uncommon among landlords. Nearly one-quarter of large landlords request an extension, compared to 11% of small landlords who also seek extra time to file their taxes.
