How many years in a row can I claim a loss before it could be considered a hobbie? My business is horse training.
This will be the 3rd year in a row that my business is operating at a loss. My business is horse training. I purchased a horse 2 years ago as an investment, knowing I will be training it for a few years before it will be ready to be sold for profit. So far 2 years I have claimed the loss, with the intent to claim this 3rd year at a loss aswell. How many more years do I have to claim a loss before it could be considered a hobbie/ Audit? I heard that for horse training you have to show profit in 2 out of 7 years.. does that mean I can show a loss 5 years in a row- at worst case scenerio before a profit?"
