Photographs of missing children. The Internal Revenue Service is a proud partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Photographs of
missing children
selected by the Center may appear in this publication on pages that would otherwise be blank. You can help bring these children
home by looking at the
photographs and calling 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678) if you recognize a child.
This publication discusses two sets of rules that may limit the amount of your deductible loss from a trade, business, rental,
or other
income-producing activity. The first part of the publication discusses the passive activity rules. The second part discusses
the at-risk rules.
However, when you figure your allowable losses from any activity, you must apply the at-risk rules before the passive activity
rules.
