Answer 1

Gross rental receipts	$         20,000
Total Expense	$         28,900
Loss	$           8,900
AGI	$       120,000
Deductible Loss	$         15,000
Actual Loss	$           8,900
AGI (120,000-8,900)	$       111,100

Total Expense = 2000+6500+2000+1400+2500+14500 = $ 28,900

Deductible Loss = 25000-(120000-100000)*50% = $15,000

Loss up to $25,000 is deductible, however the $25,000 is reduced by 50% of AGI over $100,000.

Since the actual loss is only $8,900, it is fully deductible. The rental activity brings down the AGI to $111,100
