RE Professional Qualifications. You qualified as a real estate professional for the year if you met both of the following requirements.
Don’t count personal services you performed as an employee in real property trades or businesses unless you were a 5% owner of your employer. You were a 5% owner if you owned (or are considered to have owned) more than 5% of your employer's outstanding stock, outstanding voting stock, or capital or profits interest.
If you file a joint return, don’t count your spouse's personal services to determine whether you met the preceding requirements. However, you can count your spouse's participation in an activity in determining if you materially participated.
Real property trades or businesses. A real property trade or business is a trade or business that does any of the following with real property.
