Investors & landlords
For the OP: You need to go into "Forms Mode", go to the Schedule E Worksheet, and check the "Other Passive Exceptions" box.
And just to clarify for the OP and any other readers what Tageam and I are talking about:
The Regulations for PASSIVE LOSSES say that a rental for less than 7 days or less is not considered a "Passive Activity". But that is under the rules for PASSIVE LOSSES. So it is not a "rental activity" for purposes of Passive Losses.
As Tagteam and I agree, because no services are provided, it still properly goes on Schedule E. It IS still a rental, but just not a rental for purposes of the Passive Loss rules.
Schedule C is not appropriate because it is not subject to Self Employment Tax. It IS still a rental, and the rules for Self Employment Tax don't apply to rental (unless services are provided).
