Yes, to qualify as a real estate professional, either spouse must meet the 750-hour requirement of material participation, where more than half of their personal time/services must be devoted to real estate activities.If your spouse works another part-time or full-time job, it may be difficult to demonstrate that more than half of her working hours are focused on the real estate business.If not, you should qualify as you exceed the 750-hour threshold of material participation.As always, it's a good idea to consult with your CPA to ensure you meet the requirements and can take full advantage of the RE Pro status and the deductions available.
