All active or earned income from employment and business are subjected to income tax.

Do passive income from real estate and stock and direct selling business / MLM subjected to income tax?

Note:
Forget about stock and real estate capital gain tax because there is none in Malaysia.

I receive a monthly individual disability benefit that is "tax-free", because I paid the premiums with after-tax dollars. Does this passive income contribute to my AGI? I am concerned, because I want to deduct medical expenses and I benefit with the lowest AGI possible, for the 7.5% threshhold? Thanks!

I’m starting college this year, and I’m starting to realize more and more that I will have to be financially independent really soon here. One of the things I’ve been thinking about is how I’m going to earn passive income–what can I do now so that I’ll be set up to earn passive income? Not just a trickle of interest on money in the bank, but something large enough that I’m not entirely dependent on employment for my living, and when I’m employed I will not be working my ass off, but have time to spend with my family or do activities I enjoy. I’m starting from scratch here, so no money to start earning interest on. I’m working some now, but not heavily–I’ll be earning around 00 this summer. What is a wise way to invest it so I will be where I want to be in the future?

I am a freshman in high school and I play the saxophone in my school band. I love music and believe me I am DETERMINED to succeed in music.

I have been reading books about how to create passive income and one way they mentioned was to collect royalties by being a composer and compose music which was aka intellectual property.

I LOVE music and playing my instrument, but I also see the need to make money as well. Can anyone tell me how to become a composer, how to compose music, and how to distribute it and create passive income?

Or can anyone tell me where I can learn more?

And in case anyone is wondering, I have asked this question already. I just want some different answers and opinions from different people. Thanks!

I have about 80 thousand us sved up and would like to get some advice on how to start bringing in passive income of around 4-5k a month. Ive been looking really hard at real estate as well. If anyone with any advice could help me get a good or different perspective on this it would be greatly appreciated. I figure that I would be happy retiring with about 4-5 a month and could work at the same time to pay my kids way through college.
It might be better to ask what is the best ways to invest to start some incoming passive income.

I was doing a bit of reading on finances and saw there are a number of people who have made "live off passive income" a goal.

I was wondering, how much would you need in investments to realistically live off passive income? (Taking the average income of ,000 as a benchmark I guess).

Cheers.
** average annual income of k
Alrightey true enough about inflation, but I was under the impression most investments (shares, properties, etc) will, on average, rise with inflation, so the 40k p.a. returns would also go up?

I wanted to find out if there are any differences in how passive income is taxed vs. how active income is taxed. Is there any benefit to generating one vs. the other?

I am establishing a new corporation and based on how much we split the equity between me and my wife – we can determine the % of active vs. passive income. I am trying to structure it so we can get maximum tax benefit – so would appreciate any advice.
The corporation is a legitimate corporation running a business. The purpose is not ONLY to re-classify income. However, since this is going to be a new business – we have flexibility in how we setup the equity structure.

Dear all,

I am wondering is there any certain type of online income that can be considered as "passive" income for H-1B visa holder?(the only other source of income H-1B visa holder allowed to have is passive income)

Something that can generate around 0 per month (my salary is not enough to cover my family – I have cut everything up to the bone).

I was thinking something like Stock Photography or any other passive online income.

Or… did somebody know, can H-1B visa holder apply for "economy hardship" so that he/she can get a temporary, "flexible" working permit that can be used to perform any work for any company (I know that F-1 visa holder can do that)?

The company I work for doesn’t allow me to ask this question to the company’s immigration lawyer as they said that it will incure "unecessary" expenses.

I really appreciate any help/advice to solve my financial hardship.

Thanks a lot.
What I have in mind is online income that’s considered passive income (H-1B can have passive income), something like Google AdSense, Stock Photography, etc.

I do not understand this question why it is answer B ,000. Please help.

Tom owns a rental apartment building property. This is the only rental property that Tom owns. He "actively participates" in this rental activity as he collects the rents and performs ordinary and necessary repairs. In 2009, Tom had a loss of ,000 on this renta l activity and had no reportable passive income. His adjusted gross income, without regard to this rental loss, is 60,000. How much of rental loss may Tom deduct on his 2008 return?

I thought you can deduct passive loss up to passive income. Since he has no passive income the answer is 0? Is the book wrong or something when it says the answer is ,000?
Hi Boston. Thank you so much. Just another question. If the taxpayer did not actively participate in rental real estate activity and cannot deduct any of the loss against nonpassive income, right? Dividends and interest are not considered passive income. If they actively participated in activity then they can deduct up to ,000 of loss from nonpassive income ?
