Did you know a short-term rental can help offset your W-2 income?
The key is understanding how depreciation and material participation work together.
A property can be cash flowing and still show a paper loss on your taxes because of depreciation. If you meet the material participation requirements, those losses may be used against active income like W-2, 1099, or business income.
That is why the 100-hour rule matters.
The tax benefit is not just about owning the property. It is about how actively you participate in it.
