Deductions & credits

My Turbo Tax reports it on Schedule E, including passive suspended losses from prior years.  I also have a consulting business which is reported on Schedule C.

 

A little research and I see the wisdom of your question. Do I have this right:

  • In order to get the RE professional treatment, I must report the business on Schedule C
  • Of course I have to pass the 750 hours/50% thresholds
  • In this case, I could offset my income from consulting with the rental losses

If I did qualify, would I be able to deduct prior year losses as captured on Schedule E?

 

Thank you.
