Should I try to minimize losses if I phase out for most of them anyway?

I have a loss on a single rental property of about $3,500. Because my MAGI is $150k the loss is phased and I am not able to reduce my income by the loss. If that's the case should I not include all of the expenses that I can deduct i.e. mileage and other repairs? the reason I believe I would want to is because showing less of a loss for the property on my taxes might help my debt to income ratio when trying to get future loans.

That's what I hear too Steven. The CPA plans the strategy, oversees the accounting process, and classifies the expenses and deductions so the EA can put the numbers on the return. :wink:
