Question
Alfonso began the year with a tax basis in his partnership interest of 4,000 of recourse debt and 40,000 of partnership ordinary business loss. Alfonso does not materially participate in this partnership and he has $1,000 of passive income from other sources. a. How much of Alfonso’s loss is limited by the passive activity loss rules?
Solution
To calculate how much of Alfonso's loss is limited by the passive activity loss rules, we need to follow these steps:
-
Determine Alfonso's initial basis in the partnership. This is given as $30,000.
-
Add Alfonso's share of the partnership's debt to his basis. This includes both recourse and nonrecourse debt. So, 4,000 (recourse debt) + 40,000.
-
Subtract the partnership's ordinary business loss from Alfonso's adjusted basis. So, 40,000 (business loss) = $0.
-
Since Alfonso does not materially participate in the partnership, the passive activity loss rules apply. These rules state that passive losses can only be deducted to the extent of passive income. Alfonso has $1,000 of passive income from other sources.
-
Therefore, all of Alfonso's 1,000 of this loss against his passive income. The remaining $39,000 loss is carried forward to future years and can be deducted against future passive income.
