Real Estate Professional status and COVID

[Jay Y.]

So those of you all including myself who claim the prized Real Estate Professional status, were your 750 hours spend affected much by Covid?  With a pandemic, tenants were generally reporting less maintenance and evictions were down due to the CDC moratorium.  That meant less trips to my properties and more calls/emails with my property managers.  My hours were reduced but I think I can still prove enough hours.  I'm curious to see if others are in a similar situation and if anyone thinks the IRS will be more lenient towards auditing the filers' hours???

Thanks so much!
