How do I load a Word version of the CRP 2009 form onto my PC so I can do a mail merge from an Excel spreadsheet?

The state of MN is terrible about getting the CRPs out there. Usually it doesn’t happen until the very last week of the year.

Where can I find CRP’s for 2009? All I find are 2008. When are they published, and why aren’t they available … say … the middle of the year. I would like to send them out in a timely manner.

I really can’t answer that. You should ask your CPA.

Seems illegal if you are trying to avoid paying taxes. Remember that your depreciation on most houses will offset any rental income amounts.

Inorder to avoid the extra income tax (due to the rental investment) pose on me, as the house owner.

Is it lawful or legal to sign an agreement with tenant that

- both owner and renter will not file rental tax to the IRS.
- owner will not provide the CRP to renter.

Pls. advise, thanks!

Tom-
I think you just need to lick your sores and send them the CRP. I think you know this, but you should have gone after them for the money while they lived there.

Scott,

What would you do about a tenant that didn’t pay in full what they were supposed to for the couple of months they stayed? And now they are coming back to me harrassing me for a certificate of rent paid for something under $600. Should I just fill out the .pdf and send it to him in an email ?

Thanks Scott!

The math is pretty simple. You just add up whatever the tenant paid directly. If there are roommates, you divide equally amongst the roommates regardless of who actually paid. You do NOT include any money paid by government agencies or damage deposits, late fees, etc.
