You're receiving the benefit of having someone else pay your
utilities, which is taxable income.

Schedule E. You should also note relevant expenses
and depreciation.

Yes. It's still reportable.

For this year, at least, go to a tax professional. You are
talking depreciation, etc.

Default Question on renting out a room in my home.

If I rent out 2 rooms in my home for $400 a month each how
is this income reported and taxed?

Another question:

If I was to allow someone to rent a room for free in
exchange for paying for the Utilities (Electric,water,
cable, ect.) Which totals about $500 per month would I need
to pay taxes on that since I'm not really recieving
anything?

Thanks

J
