Don Farmer’s Passive Activities: Rental Real Estate Rules & Exceptions

Take a deep dive into the world of rental real estate and passive activity rules. You’ll learn how the “automatically passive” rule affects rental income — and, more importantly, the exceptions that can turn this to your clients’ advantage. We’ll unpack key exceptions for real estate professionals, short-term rentals, active participation for moderate-income taxpayers, and self-rentals. Plus, you’ll get a clear breakdown of what it really takes to qualify as a real estate professional, and when it makes sense for clients to aggregate rental properties for a better tax outcome. If you work with real estate investors or landlords, this session is packed with actionable strategies you won’t want to miss.
