Answer:

$9100

Step-by-step explanation:

loss form candy = $36500

tax basis before loss = $26500

passive losses are deducted from passive income this is the rule for a limited partner because limited partners do not participate actively in the management of the business hence the earn passively.

At risk amount as a limited business partner ( $16500) - ordinary business income from red tomato ( passive income as a limited partner )($9100)

he can currently deduct $9100 and the rest will be carried over
