          be treated as a deduction or credit allocable to such activity in           
          the next taxable year."                                                     
               Section 469(f)(2) provides:                                            
                    (2)  Change in status of closely held C                           
               corporation or personal corporation.--If a taxpayer                    
               ceases for any taxable year to be a closely held C                     
               corporation or personal service corporation, this                      
               section shall continue to apply to losses and credits                  
               to which this section applied for any preceding taxable                
               year in the same manner as if such taxpayer continued                  
               to be a closely held C corporation or personal service                 
               corporation, whichever is applicable.                                  
               Section 469(g)(1)(A) provides that, in the taxable year in             
          which a taxpayer disposes of his entire interest in any passive             
          activity in a transaction where all the gain or loss realized on            
          such disposition is recognized, then generally, the excess of--             
                         (i) any loss from such activity for such                     
                    taxable year (determined after the application of                 
                    subsection (b)), over                                             
                         (ii) any net income or gain for such taxable                 
                    year from all other passive activities (determined                
                    after the application of subsection (b)),                         
               shall be treated as a loss which is not from a passive                 
               activity.                                                              
          Thus, the usual result upon a taxable disposition of a passive              
          activity is that the taxpayer may use any remaining suspended PAL           
          allocated to that activity first against passive income from the            
          same activity, then against net passive income from other passive           
          activities, and then as a nonpassive loss.
