Rule: Passive activity is any activity in which the taxpayer does not materially participate. A net passive activity loss generally may not be deducted against other types of income (e.g., wages, other ordinary or active income, portfolio income (interest and dividends), or capital gains). In other words, passive losses may generally only offset passive income for a tax year-the remaining net loss is generally "suspended" and carried forward to a year when it may be used to offset passive income (or when the final disposition of the property occurs).

Taxpayers who own more than 10% of the rental activity, have modified AGI under $100,000, and have active participation (managing the property qualifies), may deduct up to $25,000 annually of net passive losses attributable to real estate. There is a phase-out provision for modified AGI from $100,000 − $150,000, and the deduction is completely phased-out for modified AGI in excess of $150,000.
