Rental property intake that asks what your firm needs to know
This intake asks how many properties a client owns, whether they hold the property personally or through an entity, and where it's located, then requests income and expense records upfront so you know the scope before the first consultation.
The exact intake your rental property tax return leads complete

The questions your team needs answered
Every rental property tax return intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| How many rental properties do you need to report this year? | The number of properties reported drives how much depreciation and schedule work the return will require, which affects scoping and pricing. |
| Is the rental property owned by you personally rather than through a business entity? | Personal ownership scores higher than entity ownership because entity-held rentals may fall outside a straightforward individual return. |
| Did you sell any rental property during the tax year? | A property sale during the tax year signals the return likely needs depreciation recapture and capital gains treatment, not just standard rental reporting. |
| Where is the rental property located? | A US-located property scores higher than one outside the US, since foreign rentals carry additional reporting considerations. |
| Do you have your rental income and expense records ready to share? | Whether the client already has income and expense records ready indicates how much prep time the engagement will need before the return can be started. |
| When do you need this tax return completed? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |

Built for rental property tax return workflows
| Cliont capability | Rental Property Tax Return application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | Personally-owned, US-located properties with records ready score higher than entity-owned or foreign properties, so you can see engagement complexity before responding. |
| Document collection widget | Requests rental income and expense records, prior depreciation schedules, and sale documents (if applicable) directly through the intake before the consultation. |
| CRM lead routing | Qualified rental property clients are sent to your CRM with property count, ownership structure, and location already attached, so your team isn't re-asking basic scoping questions. |
| Conditional follow-up logic | A 'yes' on selling the property during the tax year can be used to flag the lead for a return that needs depreciation recapture and capital gains review. |
Common rental property tax return lead scenarios
Single US property, records ready
One personally-owned rental property located in the US with income and expense records already organized — the intake flags this as straightforward and ready for scheduling.
Multi-property portfolio
A client reporting five or more rental properties signals a heavier workload and more depreciation schedules, so the intake surfaces the property count early for scoping and pricing.
Property sold this year
When a client indicates they sold a rental property during the tax year, the return needs to account for depreciation recapture and capital gains, which changes the complexity of the engagement.
Entity-owned or foreign property
A property held through a business entity rather than personally, or located outside the US, carries added filing considerations and scores differently than a straightforward personally-owned US rental.
Records not yet organized
A client who hasn't gathered their rental income and expense records yet still gets captured, but the intake marks readiness lower so you can plan the intake conversation accordingly.

Rental Property Tax Return lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle clients with several rental properties?
The intake asks how many properties the client needs to report, from one to five or more, so you can see portfolio size before the consultation instead of discovering it midway through the appointment.
What happens if a client sold a rental property this year?
The intake asks directly whether a property was sold during the tax year, which flags the return as likely needing depreciation recapture and capital gains treatment before you meet the client.
Does the intake distinguish personal ownership from entity ownership?
Yes — it asks whether the rental is owned personally or through a business entity, since personally-owned rentals fit a straightforward individual return while entity ownership may point to a different filing scope.
What if the rental property is located outside the US?
The intake captures whether the property is within or outside the United States, since foreign rental property carries additional reporting considerations compared to a domestic property.
What if my client hasn't pulled their income and expense records together yet?
The intake still accepts the lead but records whether their income and expense documentation is ready, so you know whether to schedule extra time for document gathering before the return can move forward.
Can I tell how soon a client needs their return filed?
The intake asks whether the client needs the return as soon as possible, within a month, before the filing deadline, or isn't sure yet, so you can prioritize scheduling accordingly.
