Passive Loss Tax Trap
Passive Loss Tax Trap

LinkedIn Write-Up

That means you can have real deductions sitting on the return but locked up until the timing, structure, and exit are handled correctly.
This is where contractors get burned.
They sell to family, gift the property, group rentals the wrong way, or wait too long to plan the exit.
