Rule: Passive activity is any activity in which the taxpayer does not materially participate. A net passive activity loss generally may not be deducted against other types of income (e.g., wages, other ordinary or active income, portfolio income (interest and dividends), or capital gains). In other words, passive losses may generally only offset passive income for a tax year-the remaining net loss is generally "suspended" and carried forward to a year when it may be used to offset passive income (or when the final disposition of the property occurs). However, there is an exception (the "mom and pop exception," as we refer to it in the textbooks) to this general rule. Taxpayers who own more than 10% of the rental activity, have modified AGI under $100,000, and have active participation (managing the property qualifies), may deduct up to $25,000 annually of net passive losses attributable to real estate. There is a phase-out provision for modified AGI from $100,000 − $150,000, and the deduction is completely phased-out for modified AGI in excess of $150,000.
Choice "d" is correct. Per the above rule, unless an exception exists (and it does not in this case, as Lane's modified adjusted gross income is in excess of $150,000), passive losses may only offset passive income for a tax year (i.e., no "net loss"

Section 360-10-35-17 of the Code states that an impairment loss shall be recognized if the carrying value of a fixed asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying value of the fixed asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and disposal of the asset. An impairment loss shall be measured by the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

Taxable earnings are: Spouse A's income from the partnership and the part time soccer referee job is included. Spouse B's earned income from the job as a controller counts as taxable income.

Passive activity is an activity in which an investor can earn profit from an activity in which he/she does not physically participate, including rentals and limited partnerships. In this scenario the couple has one rental property from which they received revenue that can be classified as passive income. The passive income has generated a net loss of $6,200. Since the couple has hired a realty company to manage their rental property then the loss must be carried over to the following year. These losses are reported on Form 8582. The $44,000 profit earned from the sale of the third rental property also needs to be reported but will be taxed as Long Term Capital Gains and will be entered as “Other gains or (losses)” using Form 4797.
A2e. Passive Activity Gains and Losses The passive activity rules apply to Individuals, estates, trusts (other than grantor trusts), personal service corporations, and, closely held corporations. (IRS Publication 925) As defined by the IRS, a passive activity is a business activity in which the investor or business owner has the potential to profit but in which the individual does not materially or physically participate. A material participation in a business activity means that the individual participates on a "regular, continuous, and substantial" basis (as defined by the IRS). (Jean Murray, Passive Activity) The couple had two passive activities, both of which we rental activities. Per the IRS, A rental activity is a passive

A trade or businesses is considered a passive activity according to the IRC if the taxpayer does not materially participate in that respective trade or business. Any income or loss derived from the passive activity is to be treated as passive income/loss. Additionally the Code automatically classifies income/loss from most rental activities as passive, regardless of whether the taxpayer materially participated or not. Net losses generated from passive activities cannot offset income from portfolio or active income. If a taxpayer’s passive activities result in net income, then the income must be reported, but if they result in a net loss then the loss must be suspended until they generate passive income to offset the loss.

The treatment of tax losses is a crucial part of The Basic Tax Equation (ITA 2007). A net loss is created when the annual gross income of a tax payer is less than their total deductions. As part of the basic tax equation, available tax losses are subtracted from net income to give the taxable income” (Alley, et al., 2014).
