Sorting Out "Material Participation": The Trap In FOBD
( 2000-09-15) Harl, Neil ; Iowa State University Digital Repository

The term “material participation” has become a standard component of tests to determine whether a “business” exists.

Material participation is used as a standard for determining whether there is sufficient involvement in management to meet that part of the test.
