Keep Documentation for Tax Purposes

As with all tax issues, it's best to document your efforts on paper. For example, if you move into your property six months after your exchange it would be prudent to retain all the newspaper advertisements you ran, receipts, copies of checks, a photo of the house with a FOR RENT sign in the window or yard, a signed copy of a rental listing with a property management company, copies of any rental applications you took (noting your reason for not renting to the people), etc. Keep whatever you have.
