Client bought a condo in Georgia in 2001, and lived in it until she moved to California in 2006. The condo was converted to a rental property and rented from mid-2006 through mid-2007, when it was sold at a loss.

Is there any problem claiming the loss given that it was only a rental property for a year while it was a personal residence for about five years?

Sec. 280A

Does the qualified rental section in 280A(d)(4)B(ii) help establish the rental?

What was the character or the rental? Up for sale with a real estate agent from the time they moved to California? That would see to be a temporary rental until the propery was sold. Courts have debated this issue.

if it were on the market for sale from the time they moved to CA would that preclude claiming a loss?
