Kurt and Ashley have four passive activities. They received K-1s from four partnerships with the following income or loss on line 1. They are at-risk in each activity, so the passive loss rules are the only obstacle.

Activity 2 | (20,000 | ) | |
Activity 3 | (10,000 | ) | |
Activity 4 | 63,000 | ||
Prepare Form 1040 for the Tallos for 2016. The Taxpayers had qualifying health care coverage at all times during the tax year. You will need Form 1040, Schedule A, Schedule E (page 2), Form 6251, and Form 8582. Do not compute the underpayment penalty, if any. (List the names of the taxpayers in the order in which they appear in the problem. Input all the values as positive numbers. However losses should be indicated by a minus sign.)
