What Are Passive and Non-Passive Income and Losses in Taxes?
When it comes to taxation, distinguishing between passive and non-passive income and losses is pivotal. Passive income is derived from activities where the taxpayer does not materially participate, such as rental properties or limited partnerships. In contrast, non-passive income arises from active participation, like salaries, wages, or businesses where the taxpayer is significantly involved.
Passive income and losses follow specific IRS rules. There are limitations on offsetting passive losses against passive income. Unused passive losses can be carried forward but generally cannot offset non-passive income. Non-passive income, however, is subject to regular income tax rates and losses from active participation can often be deducted against other income, reducing tax liability.
Understanding these distinctions is crucial for tax planning and compliance. Passive income has different tax treatment compared to non-passive income. Knowing how to navigate these rules impacts how losses can be used for deductions and offsets against various income types.
