Question

A customer invests $100,000 in a real estate limited partnership. In the first year of operations, the investor is allocated $20,000 of income; $80,000 of interest deductions; $45,000 of operating expenses; and $25,000 of depreciation expense. Assuming that the investor has sufficient passive income, this investor may deduct a net loss of how much from his tax return for this year?

Answer 1

-$130,000

Step-by-step explanation:

= Income - interest deductions - operating expenses - depreciation expenses

= $20,000 - $80,000 - $45,000 - $25,000

= $20,000 - $150,000

= -$130,000

Since the value comes in negative which reflects the net loss for the year

We simply deduct the revenues from the expenses so that the net income or net loss could come
