Lacerte Treatment of Real Estate Professional without material Particiption

jimgsabbatini
Level 3

I have a client who is a Real Estate Professional. However with a certain rental activity he has not materially participated.  On the K-1 I answer the question that he is a Real Estate professional. 

 

I do not include any hours and I do not check that it is a passive activity or non passive activity. 

Lacerte just assumes because I checked he is a real estate professional that the loss is allowable. My understanding is that he still must materially participate. The Real Estate professional is just allowed to group activities. 

What am I misssing ?
