Make sure that your travel records are in good shape.You will make a major mistake if you wait until after the initial interview to learn the rules.The hours you spend as an investor reading reports and otherwise monitoring operations does not count for material participation purposes UNLESS you are directly involved in day-to-day management or operations.The IRS has learned that taxpayers seldom study the rules until after the initial interview, meaning that poorly informed taxpayers admit much in the first interview and then pathetically try to change their stories after they learn the rules (this is usually too little, too late).Goal here is to educate you, not overwhelm you.
