Dorothy acquired a 100% interest in two passive activities: Activity A in January 2014 and Activity B in 2015. Through 2017, Activity A was profitable, but it produced losses of $200,000 in 2018 and $100,000 in 2019. Dorothy has passive activity income from Activity B of $20,000 in 2018 and $40,000 in 2019. After offsetting passive activity income, how much of the net losses may she deduct?

    2018 and 2019 she can't deduct anything, $0.

    2018 going into 2019 she can suspend $180,000

    2019 going into 2020 she can suspend $240,000

    Net losses to be deducted after offsetting passive activities = $240000

    Explanation:

    In 2014 activity A made 100% profit

    in 2015 activity B made 100% profit

    in 2018 activity A made = $200000 loss

    in 2019 activity A made = $100000 loss

    total loss from activity A = $300000

    Activity B in 2018 made = $20000 profit

    Activity B in 2019 made = $40000 profit

    total profit from activity B = $60000

    To offset passive activity subtract passive profit from activity B from passive loss of Activity A

    = loss from activity A - profit from activity B = $300000 - $60000

    = $240000
