    c. Dmitri has a stock basis of $60,000 and a loan basis of $20,000 before deducting any loss.

    Explanation:

    Given

    Stock Basis = $60,000

    Loan Basis = $20,000

    Loss = $75,000

    Note that: A non-recourse loan is a type of loan secured by collateral, which is usually property.

    Because of this, his loan basis remains unchanged at $20,000.

    However, due to the at-risk rules,

    which prevent individuals from deducting more than their actual stake in a business, he can deduct only $60,000 of S corporation losses; this will reduce his stock basis to zero.
