Question

Ned has active modified adjusted gross income before passive losses of $160,000. He has a loss of $15,000 on rental property he actively manages. How much of the loss is he allowed to deduct against his other income?

Answer 1

Answer:

None.

Explanation:

Ned is not allowed to deduct the loss on rental property against her income. In USA real estate losses are allowed for tax payers to be deducted from their income if they own a rental property. A tax payer can deduct $25,000 of real estate loss on gross income of $100,000 or less. If adjusted gross income of an individual exceeds $150,000 then real estate losses deductions are not allowed. Ned has income of $160,000 which is above the threshold of $150,000 therefore no losses can be deducted from the income.
