Deductions & credits

If your sole business is raw land, this is not considered passive income. Passive income is income derived from an activity where participants do not actively participate in the buying and selling of land. The S-Corp is an active participant.

 

With this said, you can use COGS for the purchase of land and treating it as inventory but expensing it such as your accountant did is acceptable also.
