Losses from property A can be offset by income or gains from property B. All are related rental properties.

Net losses carried forward to year 3 on property A=14,000+9,000-(5000+3,000)

=$15,000

The gain on property A are offset by losses carried forward on the property.

Net losses =losses carried forward-gain on property A

=15,000-8,000

=$7,000

If the rental real estate exceptions are not met , only $3,000 of the excess $7,000 net capital(rental) losses would be deductible against the ordinary income.The remaining losses are carried forward to future years.

Deductible losses=limited to $3,000

Taxpayers AGI=interest income +wages-deductible losses

=4,000+12,000-3,000

=$13,000
