ResumoThis Article addressed the surprisingly controversial issue of whether the law allows taxpayers to include hours worked relating to short-term rental real estate as hours associated with a real property trade or business. An example is whether operating a Bed and Breakfast is a business or a real estate venture. The classification matters because if a taxpayer has sufficient hours, the taxpayer may then qualify as a real estate professional under I.R.C. § 469(c)(7). Real estate professional status usually entities the taxpayer to currently deduct passive activity losses. The Article concluded that hours devoted to short-term rental real estate simply do not qualify for real estate professional status.
