I have a client who has some current rental losses. He also received some unemployment benefit.
The rental losses are being reduced by the unemployment benefit from each rental property and as to the total loss. So, it looks like the unemployment has a double affect on the rental losses.

Unemployment raises AGI, and so does wages, interest, dividends, capital gains, alimony received, taxable SSI, business income. Which then could limit allowable rental losses.
It's not just unemployment.

What is the double effect you are referring to? There is none. When PAL is limited and there are multiple properties, that limitation will be allocated among those properties. That's one and the same.
Also, unemployment compensation is taxable for federal tax purposes. Since it's not among the type of income that is to be disregarded for purposes of ยง469(i) as defined under subparagraph (3)(E), the unemployment compensation will be part of the MAGI that could limit your client's PAL.
