    Real estate investing taxes

    For flipping real estate, is there a way to avoid the 15.3% tax that the IRS taxes you because they think you run a business, when in reality you are investing? Because if they tax me that 15.3% self-employment plus 35% income tax, that is 50.3% in taxes going to the government excluding state taxes. That is ridiculous. Is there a way to tell the IRS that you are an investor, not a business owner?
