Investors & landlords

No. The IRS has a special allowance for rental real estate activities. You can deduct up to $25,000 of rental losses against ordinary income. However, your loss begins to phase out at $100,000 ($50,000 married filing separately) and is suspended once your income reaches $150,000 ($75,000).

 

Suspended losses can be applied against other passive income or claimed in the year of sale.
