I have a client that has a Rental Property in Palm Springs. Because of the heat, it is only rented 4 months a year. I know that you cannot take a loss for property that is vacant (pub 527), but is that loss supended? Can you take the non-deduct portion of the interest and taxes on Sch A? Can I only take 4/12's of the expenses and the rest are lost?

If the property is "held out for rent" you certainly can take the loss (subject, of course, to passive loss limitations, real estate professional exceptions, etc, etc.)

Agree with Jd - Sec. 212.

You would have to treat it as a vacation type property to move the interest and taxes to Sch A. Seems obvious it only has a limited season for rental.
