Individuals and businesses that meet the requirements for the real estate professional qualifiation can realize substantial benefits from real estate properties. The real estate professional designation means that passive activity rules do not apply. Some examples are the following: - Special $25,000 allowance does not apply, meaning there is no cap on passive losses that can be applied to nonpassive income - AGI and filing status limitations do not apply To qualify for these benefits, requirements must be met. Below are key requirements: 1. Material participation in real property trade or business trhough personal services greater than 50% of total services 2. Qualifying personal services must be greater than 750 hours in a given year 3. Taxpayer owns 5% or more of a closely held corporations or personal service corporation Material participation must be established separately for each rental activity or the total be aggregated together to meet real estate professional requirements.

The real estate professional designation also prevents rental activities from being subject to self employment tax and the net investment income tax, further increasing tax savings for some taxpayers.
