Investors & landlords

Carl, Thanks so much for your explanation.  That does make the choice I have more clear.  However, why did TurboTax guide me to choose active participation?  And now, of course, I have already efiled.  TT lists questions to answer and then says "Voila!  you are an active participant!"  But it's clear from your explanation and my gut feeling that this was not the right choice.
