How do I report house flipping on 1040? Can they qualify as Investor? OR are they a Dealer? Where does a Dealer report the transactions?

The facts determine if they are a dealer or investor.

Dealer would report on Schedule c. Investor would report on ScheduleD/Form 6949.

@Sam2638 Susan meant F.8949.

If you want more elaborate discussions, you'd find them here: https://accountants-community.intuit.com/search?filters%5Bcountry%5D=US&filters%5Bdocument_type%5D=Question&filters%5Bproduct_display_name%5D=&q=house+flipping&sort=popularity

As Susan says, it depends on facts and circumstances.  It's the same assessment you make as to whether these activities constitute a ToB.
