Kristen is trying to decide how to invest a $10,000 inheritance. One option is to make an additional investment in Rocky Road Excursions in which she has an at-risk basis of $0, suspended losses under the at-risk rules of $7,000, and suspended passive activity losses of $1,000. If Kristin makes this investment, her share of the expected profits this year will be $8,000. If her investment stays the same her share of the expected profits this year will be $1,000. Another option is to invest $10,000 as a limited partner in Ragged Mountain Winery, the investment will produce passive activity income of $9,000. Kristin is in the 24% tax bracket. What are the effects on Kristen's after-tax income from each of the two options?
