Frequently Asked Questions
Two tests?
(1) More than 750 hours in real estate trades/businesses. (2) More than 50% of total work hours in real estate. Plus material participation in specific rental activities. All three tests required. Married filing jointly: one spouse can qualify alone.

Documentation?
