Passive Income Tax Credit Eligibility Quiz

· By the Veritas Tax Credits editorial team (how we write and check) · Educational only, not tax advice

Answer a few questions to see whether buying a transferable credit is likely to be useful for your tax profile. It is a screen based on the §469 rules, not tax advice.

1. Who is the taxpayer?
2. Estimated annual federal income tax

This quiz is educational and uses simplified rules from IRC §469, §38 and the IRS Transferability FAQ. It does not consider every exception. Review any result with your CPA.
