Question
Can you explain material partcipation to me like I'm five?
AI accountant’s answer:
Sure! Material participation is when you are really involved in a business or activity. It means you spend a lot of time and effort, like helping make decisions and doing work for the business. If you're a grown-up and have material participation in a business, tax rules might be different for you compared to someone who doesn't spend much time on their business. So, it's like the difference between playing your favorite game all the time and just watching others play it sometimes.
