After figuring your rental income and other deductible expenses in connection with the property, you had a tax loss each year.However, your annual income from other sources ( salary, interest, investments etc.) was well over the IRS threshold, so the rental property tax losses had no impact on your actual tax liability for those 5 years.Now you sell the property for $150,000.
