AnswerLosses from passive activities-activities in which the taxpayer doesn't materially participate, and most rental activities-may only be used to offset passive activity income (which doesn't include portfolio income); thus they can't be used to offset income from, for example, compensation, interest or dividends. Any losses that are unused in a tax year because of this rule are carried forward to the following year(s) until used, or until taxpayer disposes of the interest in the activity (or substantially all of the activity) in a taxable transaction. Passive activity credits may be used only to offset tax on income from passive activities, with a carryover of any unused credits. However, individuals who actively participate in rental real estate activities may use up to $25,000 of losses from those activities to offset nonpassive income; and those activities are not automatically passive for real estate professionals.

However, the 25K losses start to phase out for a married filing jointly taxpayers with AGI of $100k and are gone completely at $150K AGI...

Can I use tax loss carry forwards from businesses that I acquired?

To my knowledge, if the businesses you acquired had losses in the previous years which they didn't deduct, then you are entitled to carryforward those losses.


If a taxpayer is subject to passive loss limitations and has more than 150000 of modified AGI the maximum rental loss he or she can claim is?

If a taxpayer has a modified adjusted gross income (AGI) exceeding $150,000, they are generally subject to passive loss limitations, which restrict the ability to deduct rental losses against other income. In this case, the maximum rental loss that can be claimed is limited to $0, as the ability to deduct rental losses phases out completely for taxpayers with modified AGI above $150,000. Therefore, any passive losses from rental activities cannot be deducted in the current tax year.


Recognition of tax benefits in the loss year due to a loss carryforward requires?

The Establishment of a future Asset account is recognised due to the fact that when a tax loss carryforward is more likely than not to result in future economic benefits, then it should be accounted for in the same way as a deductible temporary difference: a future income tax asset is recognised in an amount equal to the expected benfit


If your rental property is losing money can you deduct the loss against income?

Yes, rental income should be reported on Schedule E and the net profit or loss is transferred to Form 1040 and can offset income. Be careful of passive loss limitation rules though.


What would cause a Schedule E on 1040 with a 35000.00 loss to override the 25000.00 loss limitation?

Many things...type of loss (passive or not), at risk rules, age of investment, source of investment, active participation, I think S 179 expensing comes in there too, etc.

Can rental income losses be considered a passive loss when selling the property?

Unless you have qualified and elected to be treated as a real estate professional for income tax purposes, rental losses are, by definition, passive activity losses. These losses are subject to various limitations, so some or all may be suspended in any given tax year. At the time of complete disposition of the rental property, the taxpayer may take any suspended losses against his ordinary income for that year. See IRS Publication 925, Passive Activity and At-Risk Rules, and Publication 527, Residential Rental Property, for further information.

Can current year profits be offset by prior year suspened losses?

Yes, in many tax jurisdictions, current year profits can be offset by prior year suspended losses through a process known as loss carryforward. This allows businesses to apply unused losses from previous years to reduce taxable income in the current year. However, specific rules and limitations vary by jurisdiction, so it's important to consult tax regulations or a tax professional for precise guidance.


Can you carryforward a 25000 rental loss to next year and then offset total 50000 next year?

Within certain restrictions, presuming you have enough income to allow using all that loss, yes, of course. A business Net operating loss is carryforwarded fo 20 years, and usable against income in those years. I do not understand how you would expect to have a 25K loss next year AND income to offset the existing 25K carryforward with though. It would seem you wold just be generating a new 25K loss, to be carried for the next 20 years, until used against income.
