Multimember LLC- Rental Investing Passive or Active?

[narendran-kandas]

First question- Because I'm manager for this LLC who makes all the decision, should I select actively involved in Form 1065? But below screen shot for this question tells all rental activities are passive. I am not real estate  professional.

Second question- my wife who is another member (not the manager) who also helps me with finding tenants, should I select actively involved in Form 1065?

Third question- Because it this LLC is pass thorugh entity, I pay taxes through personal return. While filling the personal return, Form 8582 also asks Rental Real Estate Activities With Active Participation. Should I answer this question as YES only if it is active participation  is selected in Form 1065?

Simple answer is, you are both actively involved.

Again, the answer is "Yes" (based upon your set of facts) since active participation is a fairly easy standard to meet.
