More About This Show
A loss on your taxes means that your business did not make any money for the IRS to tax in a certain year. Claiming a loss is actually beneficial when tax time comes around, because then you don’t owe money! Many high earning investors like to claim a loss, in order to lower their overall tax burden.

Passive loss, however, only pertains to passive income. Luckily, real estate investing falls under this umbrella. Passive loss is anything in which the investor is not a material participant.

The tax law states that you can claim up to $25,000 as an individual if you have an adjusted gross income of $100,000 or less per year. From my experience speaking with hundreds of investors, the majority do not fall under this category.

But luckily, there are a couple exceptions to that rule, which we will outline on today’s show. Tune in to hear Natali and I share more about passive loss, and what we learned from Garrett Sutton’s book, Loopholes of Real Estate! Don’t miss episode 190!
