Which of the following statements is incorrect? Assume that the rental activity is classified as ‘production-of-income.’ If the taxpayer sells the rental property later at a loss, the loss will be treated as a capital loss (i.e., $3,000/$1,500 deduction limit in the current year). An amount that would have been paid in an arm’s-length transaction is considered a reasonable amount as deduction. Payment (except for medical or educational expense) of another person’s obligation does not result in a tax deduction for the payer. Regarding the start-up costs, if the new business is in the same line of business as the existing one and if the new business is not launched, then none of the start-up costs are deductible. Payments for a speeding ticket are nondeductible. HELP
