Should tax returns be filed where agi is-$17,000 due to rental loss.

Should tax return of single TP be filed where agi is -$17,000.  No other income. Rental of three houses is only income except for socialsecurity.

Yes, assuming there was enough rental receipts to exceed the filing requirement plus if there is a potential NOL, you would want to report it to allow for some carryovers.

Always a good idea to file the return even if a net loss.

You need to show the IRS how you got to a loss of income.
