You'll see new (to me) acronyms like LUQs (Large Unusual Questionable Items) and, in the text, exactly what the IRS "flags" as issues that warrant examination, like large cash charitable contributions, companies that only have expenses (no income), at-risk loss rules for large pass-through entity losses, stringent requirements for the rehabilitation credit, SFR with no income and $137,111 loss, etc.

Requalify her on her own income and if she does not qualify then give notice that you are nonrenewing their lease (helps that you are already month to month).If you had a longer term lease I would offer to let them out of the lease with no fees as long as they leave within x amount of time and turn over the property on a schedule you define.If you want to be a nonprofit, make a charitable donation to one.
