Suspended losses attributable to this property total $45,000. Nell owns another separate passive activity which has $10,000 passive loss for the current year and $80,000 suspended passive losses from prior years. Nell will report the following on her current year income tax return (as a result of just these transactions): a. $$50,000 salary income and an additional $110,000 from the sale of the passive activity b. $25,000 salary income and $0 additional taxable income (because all $110,000 gain from the sale of the passive activity offset by losses and an additional $25,000 of passive loss is available to deduct against the salary income. c. $50,000 salary income and $0 additional taxable income (because all $110,000 gain from the sale of the passive activity is offset by losses). d. $50,000 salary income and an additional $65,000 gain from the sale of the passive activity. e. None of a-d is correct

Answer 1

The correct answer to the following question will be Option C ($50,000 salary income and $0 additional taxable income).

Step-by-step explanation:

Revenue from passive behaviors are as follows:

=
`155,000-45,000-45,000-10,000-80,000`

= -$
`25,000`

According to the regulations, passive failures can only really be adjusted limited to the cost of grains from passive actions or operations, so that 25,000 would then continue.

So option C compensation profit of $50,000. The revenue from passive behaviors is measured by present and previous passive activity expenses.
