Monthly close for a small landlord
- Reconcile gross rent and other rental income.
- Record expenses with the vendor, date, amount, property, purpose, and receipt.
- Resolve duplicates, missing documents, and uncategorized entries.
- Review maintenance costs and large purchases for tax-treatment questions.
- Export or back up the records before closing the month.
Keep properties separate
Assign income and expenses to the property that produced them. Document reasonable allocations for shared costs and preserve the calculation for professional review.
Prepare, do not pre-decide
DwellTrack can organize categories and T776-oriented summaries. The landlord or tax professional determines deductibility, current-versus-capital treatment, CCA, allocations, and filing positions.
