Answer: $30 000 loss is deductible, $20 000 is suspended

Explanation:

Passive losses are only deducted from passive income. deduction is limited to $500 000 for jointly married couples and $250 000 single tax payers.

Passive income is $30 000, therefore $ 30 000 out of the $50 000 loss is deductible, the suspended loss is $20 000
