You can find guidelines for determining material participation, the rules for determining who's a real estate professional and what's active participation, and the special rules that apply to the income and losses from a passive activity held through a publicly traded partnership (PTP) in Publication 925,"Basically, rental is generally passive unless you are a real estate professional, HOWEVER, refer to pub 925 for special rules.
