Would the loss from Residential Rental property be considered an eligible small business for the NOL carryback rules? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but I couldn't find a definitive answer anywhere.

This topic has been discussed many time before. He's a discussion on point. Type in the yellow box to the left "Large allowable schedue E losses w/barely any other Income" Note this is a Sched E discussion.

Thanks for the response. I did honestly look before posting this. I think I just searched for everything except Sch. E losses. Thanks again!

So I searched for the phrase you suggested and the only discussion that it pulled up is the one that we are in now. And then I corrected the spelling of "schedule" and did the search again, same result. Then I tried also putting a space between "w/" and "barely" and got some results. Definitely a learning experience for me...

How did you make out, Apptax?

Discussion: Large allowable schedue E losses w/barely any other Income And I tried this using the discussion fences and this is what I got.

Apptax, are you trying to find out about whether you have business loss from the rental or are you wondering about qualifying as a "eligible small"?

Residential real estate could be a partnership or corp. Does this mean it qualifies, not sure. Basically any trade or business can be considered a ESB if they meet the requirements - 3 year average gross receipts less than 15 million.

No clear answer on whether rental activities on schedule are considered sole proprietorship. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
