Which path applies to you?
W-2 Active — You earn W-2 income and materially participate in your short-term rental. Losses offset your W-2 income under the STR exception to passive activity rules.
REPS — You qualify as a Real Estate Professional under IRC §469(c)(7). No income threshold applies. Full passive loss offset against ordinary income.
