It would appear that operation losses for 2015 have been included twice? Would like to confirm I have entered everything correctly. Information comes from the current K-1 (1065) issued by LLC and 1099-B issued by broker.
ok. We're ready to go here.
You have multiple questions here and not sure if they are all interrelated?
1) Did you sell all of your LLC interest or just part of it?
2) Is this a multi-member LLC interest that is being sold?
3) Are you saying you have suspended losses from the LLC? Why?
4) Does the LLC have $$ invested with a brokerage? Who's EIN is on the 1099-B?
Rick, thanks for your response. To address your questions:
1) Sold (disposed of) my entire interest.
2) Not sure of your question. I "owned" less than 1% of the LLC. Other interests may have been sold independent of my action.
3) My current understanding is that, passive activity losses are ordinary loss therefore not subject to the capital loss restriction of only allowing a $3,000 loss to be deducted each year. Passive activity loss is not allowed to be taken until the activity is sold at which point and the losses for all the prior years are now deductible. This information addresses most of my concerns.
4) Do not know the answer to the first part of the question. The Broker's EIN is on the 1099-B.
ok. Follow-up:
1) There should also be a recipient EIN on your 1099-B. Who's number is listed there? Your SS#?
2) If the response to number 1 is your SS#, then what boxes have amounts listed? 1d?
3) Have you maintained a basis schedule in your LLC interest?
4) If number 3 is "no", which box is checked on your K-1 section L?
Once I see the responses here, I can provide guidance.
1) Yes, my SS
2) only box 1a
3) Yes, and box "tax basis" is checked in section L
ok. We're ready to go here.
