tax strategy active loss vs passive loss

[Gp G.]

 My tax consultant says if I do an active loss type of tax return I get more return  but I lose on capital gain tax if I decide to sell these rental properties in future. But if I do a passive loss type of tax return then the return will be less but the loss carried over to the future. He did a passive type of tax return the last couple of years. How are you doing your taxes? Which approach do you recommend and follow? Thanks in advance.
