Hobby Loss Rule

A rule that the IRS applies to determine whether it considers a loss to be hobby or business related. This rule states that an activity profitable three years out of every five can be considered a business. If a loss is considered hobby related, it is not tax deductible. The hobby loss rule is also called the loss denial rule.
