I have a second home in SC that I extensively renovated in 2016 to prepare it for rental. I rolled over a credit of $10,000+ to my 2017 taxes, but only rented it a couple of times in 2017 to family. Now, I am planning to sell it for a profit. Should I report it as no longer a rental on my 2017 taxes, or would it be better to keep it as a rental for 2017 and handle it in my 2018 taxes under the new tax laws? Additionally, will I have to pay large capital gains on the profit, and can I deduct the renovation expenses from 2016? How will depreciation affect my taxes since I only bought the property in September 2016 and listed it as a rental for that year?
