@biotime67 Business income can be subject to self-employment (social security) tax, but not always. For instance, business income reported as net income from an S corporation would not be subject to self-employment tax. 

 

I think what you may be inferring is that you want to change rental income from passive to active by claiming that you are a real estate dealer. That would mean that the income would then be subject to self-employment tax.
