Required:
If both Ray and Chuck are single and Ray has a current-year loss of $16,000 from a sole proprietorship, how much trade or business loss can each deduct on their tax returns?


Sagot :

Answer:

Ray = $200,000

Chuck = $250,000

Explanation:

Determine how much trade or business loss can each deduct on their tax returns

Total loss of Ray = $16000 + $250000 = $266000

since Ray suffered a loss of $16000 from his sole proprietorship and a loss of $250,000 . the total loss suffered from the partnership will not be deductible because it will lead to excessive business loss for the partnership

For RAY : the partnership loss can be calculated as : $250000 - $16000     =$234000

chuck can deduct $250000 loss on tax returns

this is because the threshold is not exceeded as no other loss is created
