Payment of rent to spouse: rental income should be disclosed by owner spouse with allowable deductions, subject to assessment and records.
Rent paid by one spouse to the other should be shown as rental income in the owner spouse's tax return and may be reduced by deductions under income tax law, including municipal taxes and the standard percentage deduction for repairs; ensure the spouse is properly assessed to tax and keep documentation to satisfy tax authorities.
