Final k-1 for partnership that discontinued operations. Why doesn't this free up suspended losses?

[jeffmcpa2010]

Why were they suspended? due to lack of Basis? or due to Passive Loss Rules.

If lack of Basis - unless additional Basis was created they would not be allowed.

If Passive - they should now flow through.

Thanks for your response.  The losses were suspended due to the passive loss rules, so they should have been freed up upon liquidation of the partnership.  I found out I had to complete a separate part of the form and indicate if the partnership interest was sold, abandoned or liquidated in order to trigger the losses.  So, problem was solved.

Appreciate your interest.
