Tax question on sec 469 for short term loophole

Stevee Danielle
Posted

Can anyone tell me exactly what part of sec 469 of the tax code that explains what qualifies you as a real estate professional? I am having a disagreement with my CPA. He says that you have to have a 7 days or less on average AND offer significant services. Everything I am reading and the tax class I took says that you have to maintain an average of 7 days or less OR 30 days or less with Significant services. Can someone please shed some light on this. Thanks!
