Harvey rents his second home. During the year, Harvey reported a net loss of $45,000 from the rental. If Harvey is an active participant in the rental and his AGI is $80,800, how much of the loss can he deduct against ordinary income for the year

Answer 1

$25,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given we were told that a net loss of the amount of $45,000 from the rental was reported which means that if his is an active participant in the rental and his Adjusted gross income (AGI) was the amount of $80,800 the amount of loss that he can deduct against ordinary income for the year will be $25,000 reason been that his Adjusted gross income (AGI) is less than $100,000 and secondly the standard maximum rental amount that will be deducted for Adjusted gross income (AGI) than is less than $100,000 is $25,000.
