So I'm only an E-3 and I won't be eligible to live off base and get BAH. I

.- As you probably already know, if you're going to put money into the TSP, Roth IRA and Roth TSP make more sense for military than a conventional IRA or TSP, since our tax rates are so low (BAH is not taxed, since it is an allowance not a pay), especially if you are overseas in a tax free zone a lot. 

Depending on your rank, your BAH is going to be nuts!

If you go brick and mortar the BAH is much better than online.

Speaking of BAH, I do check online and at my local Education Office, and ask what the E-5 to E-6 or O-1-3 cap is for housing allowance. 

Say your BAH is $800 per month tax free.  

BAH is $1400.

I can think of two scenarios, please tell me which one is correct (or maybe both are wrong)-----------------------------------------------------------------(A) passive losses first eat into profit on sale and remaining goes towards depreciation recaptureprofit from selling - suspended losses = $200,000 - $100,000 = $100,000Depreciation recapture taxes on this $100,000 of left over profit, which is 25% of $100,000 = $25,000 taxes owed----------------------------------------------------------------(B) IRS says, nope, first we recapture depreciation and then take care of passive lossesDepreciation recapture tax on $150,000 out of that $200,000 profit from saleremaining $50,000 gets offset from my $100,000 of suspended losses, so no taxes on remaining $50,000.

If in Brainer Lakes area you have BIR events through summer which are epic in scale and draw, Superior has Bentlyville in winter, there is just countless factors vs just open water in summer.

I couldn't help but notice the big [B]IRS[/b] up there myself.
