    e. None of these choices are correct.

    Explanation:

    According to the business Excess loss defined by the IRS (International Revenue Services) as follows:

    The aggregate deduction

    (-) Gross income of the taxpayer

    (-) Threshold amount ($250,000 for all the taxpayers except married person)

    Total Excess business loss

    Here,

    Gross Income = $320,000; Deductions = $600,000;

    Therefore,

    The aggregate deduction $600,000

    (-) Gross income of the taxpayer $ (320,000)

    (-) Threshold amount $ (250,000)

    Total Excess business loss $ (30,000)

    As the taxpayer is not married, he will get the benefit of threshold amount.

    Therefore, Total Excess business loss $ (30,000), and no option gives the correct answer.
