Question
Walter, a single taxpayer, purchased a limited partnership interest in a tax shelter in 1985. He also acquired a rental house in 2015, which he actively manages. During 2015, Walter's share of the partenership's losses was $14,500, and his rental house generated $26,000 in losses. Walter's modified adjusted gross income before passive losses is $111,000. If an amount is zero, enter "0". Calculate the amount of Walter's allowable deduction for rental house activities for 2015. $ Calculate the amount of Walter's allowable deduction for the partnership losses for 2015. $ What may be done with the unused losses, if anything? The unused losses may be carried forward to future tax years to reduce active income in those years.Explanation / Answer
Amount over AGI is $11000
Then we deduct up to $25000 of rental property losses against other income, if they are actively involved in the management of the property and their income does not exceed certain limits
($25000 - 50% of $11000) => $19500
The amount that Walter is able to deduct . => $19500
Answeer 2
25000 - (50%of 14500)
=>$17750
Answer 3
Any unused passive losses and credits are carried over and may be used to offset future passive income or taxes attributable to such income.
