Bookkeeping
Forward an invoice, text a receipt photo, or let a dispatch bill itself — costs land on the right unit without data entry. Schedule E categories. Year-end CSV export.Rent collection is optional and never runs through us — but what you were paid still belongs in your books.

You didn't say. Mike was dispatched to Maple St · Unit A for Maria's flood at 2:41pm today — invoice vendor, service address, and date all match that job.

You typed "East Side" in the forward. Single-unit property, so the unit was unambiguous.

Address matches Maple St Duplex, but it has two units and there's no open job for this vendor. Guessing could put it on the wrong tenant's ledger — so we asked instead.

By unit
Not by property — by unit. Every cost below was filed automatically from the conversation it started in. Property-wide costs like taxes and insurance are excluded, because splitting them across units would be a guess.

Schedule E, Part I — as it stands today
Nobody categorised any of this at year end. It filed itself as it happened.

Line 18, depreciation, is blank on purpose. It depends on your basis and placed-in-service date, which live with your accountant, not in your text messages.
Deposits you are holding are not on this form. They are a liability until the day you keep one — then that amount becomes income, in that year.
We organise and categorise. We are not tax advice and we do not file.

Deposits are not listed here — they are a balance you owe back, shown above. Advance rent is, because last month's rent collected up front is income the day it arrives.
