Passive activities have been around since the 1980s and tend to be a complex area of taxation.
A passive activity is an activity that a taxpayer did not materially participate in during the tax year. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) defines two types of passive activity: trade or business activities to which the taxpayer did not actively contribute, and rental activities.
Unless the taxpayer is a real estate professional, rental activities usually provide passive streams of income. The IRS defines material participation as involvement in the activity of the business on a regular, continuous, and substantial basis.
Passive activity rules apply to individuals, estates, trusts, closely-held corporations, and personal service corporations.
This CE/CPE tax course will look at Passive activities and try to simplify the rules to make them easy!
It is important to differentiate between passive and active income for a lot of reasons. A taxpayer can claim passive losses against sources of income obtained from passive activities. Though it is not possible to claim the passive loss against active income. This correlates with the rules of passive activity loss established by the IRS.
Attendees in this CE/CPE webinar will look at the general rules of passive activities and then look at the more complex issues such as grouping and proper tax planning.
