b. $1,000, $500
c. $0, $0
d. $14,000, $1,000

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Details Amt $

Jay's Tax basis in the partnership= 14,000

Loss Allocated to Jay in the current Year 15,000

So Loss suspensed due to Tax basis limitation= 1,000

Non recourse debt of Jay 500

So At risk amount =$14000-$500= 13,500

Remaining loss not suspended= 14,000

So out of $14000 loss not suspended , an amount

of $500 will be further suspended for at risk

limitation.

So Jay could deduct only $13500 loss after this.

So correct option is b . $1000, $500
