Emiliano · Answer 1

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Invested amount = $12,000

Interest received in partnership = 10%

qualified non-recourse debt in partnership = $34,000

Loss allowed = $15,400 (At risk amount)

Tax basis = $18,800

Disallowed loss = Loss allocation - Risk amount

= $18,800 - $15,400

= $ 3,400
