Real Estate Pro Passive Loss Income Limit

[Eric Peterson]

Hello Bigger Pockets.

I can't find the answer to my entire question when I search. 

I am a real estate professional

I had a loss on a rental property last year.

My income is over $150,000

Can I write off the loss this year or do I have to carry it over because my income is too high? I can see there is a real estate professional exception but I can't find anywhere that the income requirement doesn't still apply.

Eric Peterson You can deduct passive losses against ordinary income without limits if you qualify as a real estate professional.
