Description

What is a passive activity? What is the difference in a passive activity vs a trade or business or investment? What are the loss limitations for all three? What are the exceptions to a passive activity loss? What is the special allowance for a rental real estate activity, i.e. the $25K rule? How do you handle passive activity loss carryovers offsetting future income and disposal of the passive activity. We will use a flowchart to determine all these decisions.
