Renting a Co-owned Condo

Hi all,

My parents are helping me out with my living situation. All three of us are on the mortgage, but they're paying the mortgage while I am paying the HOA and anything else that arises. However, I travel a lot, so I have been AirBnBing the unit while I am gone as of mid-August. My question is: have I gotten myself in a pickle here? When calculating the portion I needed to save for tax, I never even considered that it might effect them (poor foresight, I know). How does the taxation of that income work? Are they liable for some of that income, even though they don't even know I have been renting it, or is there a way to protect it from that? A bump up to the top tax bracket from mine would be painful to say the least.

Thanks,
Tim

If you are not legally liable for the debt you cannot claim the deduction for the mortgage interest

Are they liable for some of that income, even though they don't even know I have been renting it, or is there a way to protect it from that?======= >>>>>>unless you are the only beneficial owner of the property. as you are co-owners then you each need to report your share of the rental income. You will have to determine the %, which is usually based on the amount you each contributed to purchase the property. For example, if your family member paid 80% of the down payment and you paid the other 20%, then you must claim 20% of the income from that property.
