Rental losses for real estate activities are generally considered passive activities and the amount of loss you can deduct is limited.\u00a0 You can usually deduct more of a loss if you “actively” participate in your rental activity.\u00a0 Active participation is if you own at least 10% of the rental property and you made management decisions in a significant sense.<\/p>\n
If your rental losses are less than $25,000 and you actively participated in the rental activity then the passive activity limits do not apply to you.<\/p>\n
If your rental losses are more than $25,000 and you actively participated then your loss is limited to the $25,000 unless you have other passive income to offset the loss.<\/p>\n
If you do not actively participate then any loss is deductable only to the extent that you have other passive income.<\/p>\n
Any suspended losses due to the limits on passive activity will be released when the property is sold.\u00a0 Also, there is an income phase out for the $25,000 deduction limitation.\u00a0 If your modified AGI is $100,000 or less, then no limits apply.\u00a0 If your modified AGI is between $100,000 and $150,000 then this loss is limited to 50% of the difference between $150,000 and your modified AGI.\u00a0 If your modified AGI is more than $150,000 your cannot generally use the special allowance.<\/p>\n
Rental loss deductions can be complicated.\u00a0 Make sure to contact your tax advisor to make sure you are making the most of your rental losses.<\/p>\n
