This is the passage the answer relied on, shown in the document's own words. The highlighted text is the exact excerpt quoted — extracted verbatim by the citation system, so it cannot be fabricated.

“- At 15 or more rental days, the exclusion is gone: **all** rental income is reportable and the vacation-home expense-allocation rules of sec. 280A apply instead.”

**Summary:** If a dwelling unit is used as a residence and rented out for fewer than 15 days during the tax year, the rental income is excluded from gross income entirely and no rental-expense deductions are allowed — IRC sec. 280A(g). This is the provision popularly called the "Augusta rule" or "Masters exemption." Applies to tax years 2025 and 2026 (rule unchanged by P.L. 119-21).
