Interest paid on a mortgage for a rental property. Do i claim this under carrying charges and investment expenses or in the rental property expense section?

[Raman1 · Accepted solution]

You would enter your interest paid on your mortgage for your rental property under rental property expenses. 

1. You will log into your return
2. On the left-hand side menu go to Income- scroll down to Rental properties.
3. When you get to your Rental Profile - check off the box that says "Rental Expenses".
4. Continue
5. Now you will be on the T776 Rental Expense page where you will see the third line is interest- please enter the amount here.
6. Continue

You should claim it under the rental property expense section.
