If Bill actively participates in the management of Activity B, what is his AGI for the year and what is the passive loss carryover to next year?
Problem 2) Trisha, a detective who is single, operates a small pottery business in her spare time. In the current year, she reported the following income and expenses from this activity which is classified as a trade or business
Revenue from sale of pottery 9,000
