Question
Four individuals formed Triangle Properties as a C corporation in 2011. The corporation is domiciled in North Carolina. The corporation invested in commercial rental properties that generated passive-activity losses. The shareholders made a Subchapter S election for Triangle Properties effective on January 1, 2017. On the date of conversion, Triangle Properties had $118,000 of suspended passive-activity losses from its commercial rental properties. In 2017, the properties generated $44,000 of net rental income. Can Triangle Properties carry forward and deduct the suspended passive losses incurred when it was a C corporation against the passive rental income earned while it was an S corporation?
Explanation / Answer
As per the sec 1.469, disposing of passive activities, the S corporation can deduct the passive losses earned since these are suspended losses from rental properties and are going to be carried forward for rental income.
