But can I deduct depreciation as a active income even though Im not a real estate professional? If not how could I do so?


If you are not a real estate professional who materially participates in your rental activity, then you are subject to the passive activity loss rules; rental income is passive in most instances. 

 

However, you can still deduct depreciation from your rental income despite the fact that the rental income is passive.
