Passive Income Investments

The IRS, or Internal Revenue Service, is an agency of the US government responsible for the collection of taxes and the enforcement of taxation laws. One issue the IRS encounters is taxpayers' confusion as to what constitutes passive income. Passive income is profit generated from passive activities. Passive income investments come in only two forms. The first is a rental activity, such as renting a home. The second is a business in which the taxpayer does not participate in a material manner. Often sources of income such as winning the lottery or interest accumulation are misunderstood to be sources of passive income.

Fast Facts

  • Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) and S-Corporations are types of business structures in which the owners have limited liability for the debts of the company. Profits from these types of businesses can be considered passive income because the owners have no regular material interactions with the company.
