Kristin Graf is trying to decide how to invest a $10,000 inheritance. One option is to make an additional investment in Rocky Road Excursions in which she has an at-risk basis of $0, suspended losses under the at-risk rules of $7,000, and suspended passive activity losses of $1,000. If Kristin makes this investment, her share of the expected profits this year will be $8,000. If her investment stays the same, her share of profits from Rocky Road Excursions will be $1,000. Another option is to invest $10,000 as a limited partner in the Ragged Mountain Winery; this investment will produce passive activity income of $9,000. Complete the letter to Kristin to review the tax consequences of each alternative. Kristin is in the 28% tax bracket. If an amount is zero, enter "0". Dear Kristin: This letter is in response to your request for assistance in analyzing the tax consequences from two investment alternatives. One alternative is to make an additional investment of $10,000 in Rocky Road Excursions. The other choice is to invest $10,000 as a limited partner in the Ragged Mountain Winery. The following analysis is based on these facts.

As you can see, the tax effects of the two options vary significantly due to the interplay of the at-risk and passive activity loss rules. This analysis should help you make a more informed investment decision. If you need any further explanation, please contact me. Sincerely, Libba Eanes, CPA Partner
