2 A standard deduction of 15% of the gross rental income is allotted for income-generating expenses if the taxpayer presents supporting documents and receipts. A standard deduction of 10% of the gross rental income is allotted for income-generating expenses if the taxpayer does not present any supporting documents and receipts. This includes expenses incurred for maintenance, repairs, lawyer’s fees, and insurance fees.
