The end of the year is approaching, and Maxine has begun to focus on ways of minimizing her income tax liability. Several years ago she purchased an investment in Teal Limited Partnership, which is subject to the at-risk and the passive activity loss rules.

d. What would you suggest Maxine consider as she attempts to maximize her current year deductible loss?
