Marla is one of three partners in a partnership for a silk-screen t-shirt shop called Smar-Tees and all partners are active in the management of the company. The company uses a calendar year tax period. During Year 1, the partnership had an ordinary loss where the amount of loss allocated to Marla based on her profits interest percentage is $20,000. Assume that Marlas adjusted (ending) outside basis incorporating everything relevant for her basis from Year 1 except this loss allocated to her is $10,000.

Using only the information available in the above scenario and ignoring any role of the QBI deduction (if applicable) for this calculation, what will Marlas adjusted (ending) outside basis be after incorporating the loss and how much of the partnership loss will she get to use on her individual tax return for Year 1?

	I.	Marlas ending outside tax basis in Year 1: $-10,000. Partnership loss used on Marlas tax return in Year 1: $20,000.
	II.	Marlas ending outside tax basis in Year 1: $0. Partnership loss used on Marlas tax return in Year 1: $10,000.
	III.	Marlas ending outside tax basis in Year 1: $10,000 Partnership loss used on Marlas tax return in Year 1: $0.
	IV.	None of the above.
