Michelle is an active participant in the rental condominium property she owns. During the year, the property generates a ($17,500) loss; however, Michelle has sufficient tax basis and at-risk amounts to absorb the loss.

Answer: $8,000

Explanation:

A special rule allows Michelle to classify up to $25,000 as losses against her nonpassive income.

If Michelle's modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds $100,000 however, the amount that exceeds the $100,000 will be reduced by 50% and deducted from the exemption allowed.

Loss deduction = Exemption allowed - [(Nonpassive income - MAGI limit) * 50%)

= 25,000 - [ (120,000 + 10,500 + 3,500 - 100,000) * 50%]

= $8,000
