Answer:

Darin will have a $10000 and also he will be able to deduct $5,000.

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that:

Darin tax basis =$7000

Risk amount = $5000

Loss incurred = 40,000 (current year)

Ownership =25%

Now

With regards to his share the loss will be 25% of $40000, that is $10000 and he will be able to deduct only $5000 because of his at-risk amount is this and as per Sec. 465.

Or

40000 * 25% = $10000

He will deduct $5000 from $10000 only

Hence $10,000 of the loss will flow-through to Darin, and he will be able to deduct $5,000.
