You must work at least 750 hours per year in a qualified RE business.So most people who have high-earning W-2 jobs outside of real estate wouldn't qualify.But the unique thing about RE pro status is that even if you don’t qualify but your spouse does, you can both file jointly and claim the losses from your RE investments to offset your other active income together.
