My client has a K1 loss of $13,769 from a multi member LLC. Does he have to take this loss this year? Can he take it in 2022 or spread it out over several years? If yes, how do I do that. Thank you.

You cant pick and choose when to use it, so no, you cant spread it out over multiple years....but does he have enough basis to allow taking a loss?

I think he does. The ending capital account is $28,833. However, they have $7,117 in nonrecourse and $35,396 in qualified recourse liabilities. The loss is only 13,769.

Is it a passive activity?

It is not passive. He participates in the running of the business.

Then the loss goes on this year's return.
