In order to facilitate an ER, I may choose to take a loss on the sale of a Rental property that will allow me to write down my ordinary income to 0.
I will have the option to write this down and file an amended return in the previous years (2) or recognize loss in the year of the sale and carry over any additional loss going forward.
My wheels are turning as to what financial benefits there are of having no AGI? For example, I should now be able to contribute to a Roth. May now be eligible for state sponsored programs for energy assistance and home winterization.
What other opportunities might this temporary situation present?
Which, if any, of these opportunities can still be done in previous years, versus only in current and future years?That answer could affect if I file amended returns for an immediate refund.
Thanks.
