Business & farm

If you materially participated both this year and last, you should not have passive activity losses (PAL) that are offsetting your active income unless you are in the rental property business but do not have a real estate license.  If this is the case, your business activities are still passive and not eligible to offset active income.  It can, however, carry forward and offset other passive income.

 

See PAL from the IRS for more information.
