Through the use of $400,000 of nonrecourse financing, the partnership acquires assets worth $500,000. The activity produces a loss of $75,000, of which Jean's share is $15,000. If in 2011, Jean's share of the loss from the partnership is $7,500, then the total loss of the partnership is 7,500*(75,000/15,000) = 37,500 and Jean can deduct 37,500 - 7,500 = $30,000.
