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 have less income to pay taxes on! Many high earning investors like to claim a loss, in order to lower their overall tax burden.

Tom explains that there are three classifications written into the tax code: ordinary, investment/portfolio, and passive. Losses in one category can only be deducted from income in the same category. This means that passive loss only pertains to passive income.

With some exceptions, rental real estate falls into the passive category. Tom explains that in order to claim passive loss on real estate income, one of two things can happen. Either the investor can move their rental income out of the passive category, or move other income into the passive category. The second scenario applies to those who make over $150k.

On today’s show, Tom is sharing the finer details of passive loss in the new tax code. We’ll talk about why and how to qualify as a professional investor. We’ll discuss depreciation, cost segregation, and section 179 of the tax law. Please join us for episode 323 of Investing in Real Estate!
