C. The unused losses may be carried forward to future tax years to reduce passive income in those years.
Explanation:
A. Calculate the amount of Walter's allowable deduction for rental house activities for 2017.
Excess of Walter's modified adjusted gross income before passive losses over $100,000 = $130,00 - $100,000 = $30,000
Allowable deductions = $25,000 - ($30,000 * 50%) = $10,000.
It should be noted that 50 cents, used as 50% above, for each dollar the tax payers modified adjusted gross income exceeds $100,000 is deducted from$25,000 to arrive at allowable deductions. However, there will not be allowable deduction in the case that the modified adjusted gross income is greater $150,000.

2. tax years to reduce passive
3. income in those years.
