  4. DQualified non-recourse financing secured by real property is specifically exempted by the tax code✓ Correct answer
Explanation

Why D — Qualified non-recourse financing secured by real property is specifically exempted by the tax code

Real estate is the sole exception to the at-risk rules regarding non-recourse debt. Qualified non-recourse financing from a bank or other qualified lender, secured by the real property used in the activity, is included in the investor's at-risk amount under IRC Section 465(b)(6). This exception recognizes that commercial real estate is typically financed with non-recourse mortgages secured by the property itself.
