TurboTax说: However, if you are renting out property or receiving royalties from an investment that are reported on Schedule E, the question of whether this is a "trade or business" is often not clearly answered by the IRS. There is one instance where this type of activity is definitely a trade or business. Rents or royalties that are paid to a trade or business that is also at least 50% owned by the same person (or people) who owns the property generating the rents or royalties are automatically defined as a trade or business.
说得模棱两可。大伙打算怎么报呀
