So if he's actually creating a rental loss for the year, it's not by much. I assumed that the CCA was simply wiping out this source of income more or less, which combined with other stuff on his return is what's generating the increased refund. All speculation of course.

My rental condo started with a UCC of about $325,000. To take the full CCA, after year one, would be abut $13,000, assuming I didn't split it into land and building. My net rental income before CCA/amortization was around $5,000 (that's just rent less expenses), so if the rule wasn't in place, I could create an $8,000 loss, giving me a $3,200 reduction on my personal taxes. You can't go past zero, so my CCA is $5,000.
