Unlike investments in stocks and mutual funds, crypto investments allow loss harvesting without the 30-day "wash sale" rules.

Quote from @Ian Ippolito: Quote from @Michael Plaks: Quote from @Ian Ippolito: Quote from @Rud Sev: 3) Unless you're doing a 1031 exchange  at the end or similar tax structure to defer taxes, you will have to *pay back* all that depreciation benefit at the end (on sale...which for you is in 5 years)  via depreciation recapture.

There are several different types of income in the US tax code.Two main types are “active income” and “passive income".Active income is money you earn from working, such as wages from a W-2 job or income from running a business.Passive income is money you earn from investments like real estate, stocks, or rental income from your RE portfolio where you earn $ without actively working.Normally, you can't use passive losses (like losses from real estate investments) to offset active income like your salary from a W-2 job.That is unless you are an RE Pro.The reality is, that Real Estate Pro status is just a filing status similar to filing married or jointly.And if you are a real estate professional you CAN use passive real estate losses to offset active income from other sources.To qualify as an RE Pro you must:1.

Science, monetary policy, stock market are all just speculation but people still believe and live with it.
