Common Questions (Before You Email)
"Can you help me file my taxes?"
No — we're not a CPA firm or tax preparation service. Our calculator provides estimates to help you plan, but for actual filing you need a qualified tax professional. If you don't have one, the National Association of Tax Professionals (NATP) has a directory at natponline.org.
"Why is my PAL calculation different from what my CPA calculated?"
Different CPAs may make different assumptions about what counts as "passive income" vs "non-passive income," and some use different MAGI calculations. Our calculator follows standard IRS Form 8582 logic, but your specific situation may have nuances. Always defer to your CPA for actual filing.
"Can I use this for commercial property?"
The PAL rules apply to all passive activities, including commercial rental property. However, the $25,000 special allowance only applies to residential rental property with active participation. Commercial rental losses are generally fully suspended unless you have passive income to offset them.
"Do you offer your calculator as an embed or API?"
Not currently, but it's on our roadmap. Email us if you're interested in embedding our calculator on your site.
Important: We cannot provide personalized tax advice. If you need professional guidance, please consult a qualified CPA or tax professional in your jurisdiction.
