Investors & landlords

Carl

 

Sorry for the Q on such an old thread, but engineers like to know how stuff works...

 

Why can a business capitalize startup expenses (Pub 535, pg 4) and get tax relief for those costs, but residential rental property owners cannot?

 

If I was an active participant and could show 250 hrs of active management in a year would that change the situation do you know?

 

Thanks

Bob
