We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What does the IRS consider a passive activity?

Passive activities include trade or business activities in which you dont materially participate. You materially participate in an activity if youre involved in the operation of the activity on a regular, continuous, and substantial basis.

What are the passive loss rules for the IRS?

Passive activity loss rules state that passive losses can be used only to offset passive income. A passive activity is one in which the taxpayer did not materially participate during the year in question. Common passive activity losses may stem from leasing equipment, real estate rentals, or limited partnerships.

How do I report passive income on my tax return?

Start with Schedule E, then use Form 8582, Passive Activity Loss Limitations, to summarize income and losses from passive activities, and to compute the deductible losses and any non-deductible losses to be carried forward to future years.

Do I need to file form 8582 for rental property?

Form 8582 must generally be filed by taxpayers who have an overall gain (including any prior year unallowed losses) from business or rental passive activities.

What are unallowed losses on rental property?

Rental activity is normally considered a passive activity. Because of this, any losses on rental property that cannot be offset by rental property income are disallowed (unallowed). Unallowed losses are not deductible in the current year but can be carried forward to future years to offset future passive income.

Is passive income reported on Schedule C?

Generally, your rental income is passive and should be reported onto a Schedule E (even as a real estate professional). However, if you provide substantial services in conjunction with the property or the rental, you can use Schedule C to report the income.

How is passive income reported?

Taxation of Passive Income While non-passive income is typically reported on a W-2 or a 1099 and subject to FICA taxes, passive income is reported on Schedule E of Form 1040 and is not subject to FICA taxes.

Where do I report passive rental income?

You report rental income and expenses on Schedule E, Supplemental Income and Loss. Schedule E is then filed with your Form 1040.
