Description

The requirements for deducting PALs under IRC Section 469 are complex. The considerations and calculations increase significantly when a trust or estate holds these losses. A decedent might be entitled to deduct a PAL on the final return but only after adjusting for the basis step-up. A trust's or estate's distribution of a passive interest can trigger a basis step-up for passive loss carryforwards.

Like interests held by members or shareholders, the material and active participation rules come into play when considering deductions of PALs by a trust or estate. The level of participation must be reconsidered anytime an interest is transferred. There are no statutory rules for determining the level of participation in an activity of a trust or estate. Advisers working with pass-through entities and individuals holding potentially passive investments must understand the deductibility of PALs and NOLs by trusts and estates.

Listen as our panel explains planning to maximize the use of NOLs and PALs held by or potentially held by a trust or estate.
