Investors & landlords
It will only be considered earned income if you provide substantial services that are primarily for the tenant's convenience in addition to property rental, i.e., hotel like services. Otherwise, rental property income is considered passive income and therefore, not earned income. The business structure does not dictate how income is treated; the classification of income being either passive or active dictates whether income is considered earned or not. Passive income is not considered earned income. It will depend on whether or not your business generates active income.
