My client is makes over 150k (single) in his W2 income and he had 2500 loss from his rental property.  According to the IRS guideline that rental income are considered to be passive and because his income is over 150k, and therefore all the loss is suspend and have to carry to 2019.  He insist that he spend more than 750 hours to participate in his rental property and he is active.  He only has 1 hour and even I checked the "active participation" box and still the loss is suspend to 2019.  Is there any else I can do to help him get the loss allowed in 2018?

Thanks
