Annual Losses: Tax Shelter LossesTax shelters are activities designed
to minimize the effect of tax on wealth accumulation.

Study the information given on the building on the preceding page. Assume the owner only pays interest on the mortgage.What is gain or loss on sale of the building, if it is sold on 1-1-Yr2, for $500,000?What happens to the taxable loss from Yr 1? We will also consider what happens if the value of the building declines over the period of ownership. You can lose from operations and from selling the property for less than basis.

Tax Shelter Losses-At-Risk Rules• At-Risk Rules disallow the deduction of
artificial losses– Loss deduction limited to amounts actually
“at-risk”– To determine amounts actually at-risk, take
the amount of cash or other assets contributed and• Add debts for which taxpayer is responsible• Adjust for share of income (loss) from the
activity• Reduce by amount of withdrawals
Tax Shelter Losses Passive Activity Loss
• A passive activity is any trade or business in which the taxpayer does not materially participate
• Passive Activity Loss Rules disallow the deduction of passive activity losses from other forms of income
Types of Income and Losses• Active: salary and wages of an employee
and income earned from a business in which the owner/recipient materially participates
• Portfolio: interest and dividends• Passive: tax shelter income, income passed
through to limited partners, and income from other businesses in which owner/recipient does not materially participate
Passive Activity Loss• Taxpayers subject to the limitations:
– All non-corporate taxable entities– Conduit entity passive losses flow-through to
owners
• Taxpayers not subject to the limitations:– Publicly held corporations
• PAL can offset active and portfolio income
– Closely held corporations• PAL can offset active income, but not portfolio
Passive Activity LossGeneral Rules for Limitations
• Passive activity losses must be netted against passive activity income–Net passive losses are not
deductible–Net passive gains are reported
with other income
Passive Activity LossException for Rental Real Estate
• By definition, all rental activities and limited partnership interests are passive
• But, taxpayers who materially participate in rental real estate business are allowed to offset any losses against other active or portfolio income
Passive Activity LossDisposition of Passive Activities
• Excess (suspended) losses must be accounted for in the year of disposition
• Disposition by sale frees the suspended loss to offset income of any other activity– First, offsets other passive income– Second, offsets gain from disposal– Third, any remaining PAL offsets ordinary
income
Disposition of Passive Activities• Disposition upon death leaves the passive
activity in the decedent’s estate– Passive activity with unrealized gain
• Beneficiary takes passive activity with stepped-up basis
• Released excess loss is deductible against other income, but
• Any unrealized gain on activity decreases amount of suspended loss to release
– Passive activity with unrealized loss• No suspended loss is released
General Loss Limitation• If a partner’s share of losses
exceeds the partner’s basis– Partner can only deduct losses to
the extent of basis– Excess losses are carried forward
(indefinitely) to future years until there is sufficient basis against which to deduct the unused losses
Material Participation• Current activity level
–500 hours or more participation in year–Participation is substantially all the
activity by all persons–At least 100 hours and no one else
participates more–At least 100 hours in more than one
activity and aggregate of activities exceeds 500 hours
Material Participation
• Prior activity level–Materially participated in 5 of
preceding 10 years–Materially participated in 3 prior
years in personal service activity
Rental Real Estate Relief• Taxpayers can qualify for up to $25,000
deduction for rental real estate losses• Taxpayer must own at least 10% and
actively participate in management–Set rents, qualify renters, approve repairs
• Deduction phases out for AGIs between $100,000 and $150,000

Real PropertyBusiness Exception
• Taxpayers must spend more than half their time in real property businesses in which they materially participate and time spent equals or exceeds 750 hours
A taxpayer has this income (losses) for the current year:Active Income $43,000 Portfolio Income $29,000Passive Income $(27,000)What is the taxpayers taxable income (loss) if:
T/P is single individual & passive income is not from rental?An individual cannot deduct passive losses against active or portfolio income. The individual taxpayer has taxable income of $72,000 ($43,000 + $29,000) and a suspended loss of $27,000.
T/P is a single individual and the passive income results from a rental activity for which the taxpayer fails to qualify as a real estate professional?Individual - active participant in a rental real estate activity - is allowed to deduct up to $25,000 of losses from rental activities against active and portfolio income. The taxable income is $47,000 ($43,000 + $29,000 - $25,000).
T/P is single and the passive income results from a rental activity for which the taxpayer qualifies as a real estate professional? An individual who qualifies as real estate professional can deduct all losses from the activity against active and portfolio income. The taxable income is $45,000 ($43,000 + $29,000 - $27,000).
Laura owns a commercial office building. She spends more than 500 hours a year managing the building. She also spends 1,700 hours working in her own real estate development firm.
Laura qualifies as a real estate professional. She spends more than 50% of her personal service time in a real property trade or business, the amount of time spent in the real property trade or business is greater than 750 hours, and she materially participates in the rental activity (i.e., spends greater than 500 hours managing the rental activity). Because she qualifies as a real estate professional, office building is not passive activity.
Assume the same facts as in preceding slide, except that Laura hires a full-time manager for the commercial office building. She spends 75 hours meeting with the manager and reviewing the operations.
The office building is a passive activity. Because Laura does not spend more than 500 hours managing the rental property, she does not qualify as a real estate professional.
Bus. Losses
Invest. losses
Casualty,Theft
Transaction Losses Transaction losses result from the disposition of business, investment or personal-use assets.
Transaction Losses:Trade or Business Losses
• Business casualty and theft losses result from damage caused by a sudden, unexpected and/or unusual event–For property fully destroyed, deduct the
adjusted basis less insurance recovery–For property partially destroyed, deduct
lesser of the property’s adjusted basis, or the decline in the property’s value
Involuntary Conversions • An involuntary conversion results from
– Theft – embezzlement, larceny and robbery (but not simply losing items)
– Casualty – requires a sudden, unexpected, and unusual event such as a fire, flood, tornado, hurricane or vandalism
– Condemnation – lawful taking of property for its fair market value by a government under the right of eminent domain
Casualties and Thefts
• Gains and losses sustained on casualties and thefts are not under a taxpayer’s control so they receive special tax treatment–Allowable losses (including personal
losses) are immediately deductible–Gains (due to receipt of insurance
proceeds) may be deferred if all insurance proceeds are used to repair the damaged property or to acquire qualifying replacement property
Casualty and Theft Losses• Partial destruction of Business or Investment
Property– Loss limited to the lesser of:
1. Decline in fair market value (or repair costs to restore property to pre-casualty condition)
2. The adjusted basis of the property
Complete Destruction of Business Property3. For business property that is completely
destroyed, the loss is always the property’s adjusted basis.
• The loss computed above is then reduced by any insurance proceeds received

Casualty &Theft Loss Deductions• Thefts are deductible in year of discovery• For casualties in designated disaster areas,
taxpayer can elect to deduct loss in preceding year
• A net business loss is deducted from ordinary income; an investment loss is an itemized deduction
• Individuals have additional limits on losses from personal-use property:– $100 floor per casualty (per event) – 10% of AGI threshold– Must itemize to deduct loss
Jim's business building was totally destroyed by fire. The property had an adjusted basis of $150,000 and a FMV of $130,000 before the fire. Jim received insurance reimbursement of $120,000 for the destruction of the workshop. Jim's AGI was $70,000, before considering this loss. Jim had no casualty gains during the year. What is Jim’s fire loss deduction on his tax return?a. $ 2,900 b. $ 8,500 c. $ 30,000

Gains on Involuntary Conversions
• If the insurance recovery on a casualty or theft is greater than the loss, the taxpayer has a gain
• Condemnations usually result in gain because proceeds received are usually fair market value
Gains on Involuntary Conversions• If all proceeds are used to acquire qualified
replacement property (or repair the property to its pre-casualty condition) within the required replacement period, the gain is deferred
• Gain may have to be recognized if all proceeds are not used to acquire replacement property (or make repairs to the damaged property) within the required time period
Investment lossesCapital lossesSmall bus. stockRelated PartyWash sales
Transaction Losses:Investment-Related Losses
• Net capital losses result from netting short-term and long-term capital gains and losses–Individual taxpayers may deduct only
$3,000 annually–Corporate taxpayers may not deduct any
net capital loss• Carry-back for 3 years, then forward for 5
Transaction Losses:Investment-Related Losses
• Losses on Small Business Stock may be deducted up to $50,000 per person ($100,000 per married couple) per year– Small business = a corporation with
capitalization of less than $1 million– Stock must have been bought directly from
corporation– Excess over $50,000 ($100,000) is netted with
other capital gains and losses
Transaction Losses:Investment-Related Losses
• Losses on Related Party Sales are disallowed because they generally fail the arm’s length transaction concept–Loss is carried forward with the property
• Gain from later sale may be offset by deferred loss
• Loss cannot be created or increased by using the deferred loss
Transaction Losses:Investment-Related Losses
• Wash Sale losses are disallowed because the sale violates the substance-over-form doctrine– A wash sale occurs when a security is sold at
a loss, and during +/- 30 days of the sale the seller buys substantially identical securities
– Disallowed loss amount is added to the basis of the replacement security
Section 1244 Stock
• Losses on stock are usually capital losses; individuals are limited to a $3,000 deduction against ordinary income annually after netting losses against capital gains
• Section 1244 permits an ordinary loss deduction of up to $50,000 ($100,000 if a joint return) annually for losses on qualified stock if an individual is the original investor in a domestic small business corporation
• Any excess loss is a capital loss
Section 1244 Stock• Total capitalization cannot exceed $1
million• For the 5 preceding years
– The corporation must be an operating company deriving 50% or more of its annual gross revenues from the sale of goods or services
– Income from rents, royalties, dividends, interest, annuities and gain on sales of securities is limited to 50% or less
Section 1244 Stock-2Vanessa bought 2,000 shares of Barbco stock when the company was formed for $107,000. The company had $900,000 of total capital upon formation; thus, it qualified as Section 1244 stock. Vanessa sold the stock three years later for $3,000. If Vanessa is single, how much and what kind of gain or loss does she have?
Section 1244 Stock-3
Vanessa has a total loss on the Section 1244 stock of $104,000 ($3,000 – $107,000). She can treat $50,000 of the loss as an ordinary loss, deductible from ordinary income. The remaining $54,000 loss is a long-term capital loss.
Section 1244 StockShe can deduct $3,000 this year as a capital loss giving her a total deduction of $53,000 in the current year. The remaining $51,000 of the long-term capital loss can only be carried forward and deducted at a rate of $3,000 per year after offsetting other net capital gains in future years.

Wash Sales• Wash sale - identical securities acquired
within 30 days before or after the sale date (a 61-day period)– Wash sale losses are disallowed but gains are
taxed– Loss is deferred by adding disallowed loss to
basis of new shares– If more stock is sold than is purchased within
the 61-day period, only a portion of the loss representing the repurchased stock is deferred

Wash SaleMoore bought 2,000 shares of VBT stock over the Internet on January 2 of year 4 for $50,000. On December 28 of year 3, his broker sold 3,000 shares of VBT for $85,000 that she had been holding in Moore’s account. This stock had been purchased in year 1 for $100,000. What is Moore’s realized and recognized gain or loss? What is his basis in the stock purchased on January 2?
Wash Sale
The sale of the stock by the broker yields a $15,000 ($85,000 - $100,000) realized loss, but only $5,000 is recognized. Moore cannot recognize two-thirds of the loss due to his purchase of 2,000 shares in January after the loss on the sale of 3,000 shares in December due to the wash sale rules. The disallowed loss of $10,000 (2/3 x $15,000 total loss) is added to the basis of the 2,000 shares purchased in January for a total basis for those shares of $60,000 ($50,000 + $10,000).
