Does an S Corp's owners loan guarantees increase the owners deductible losses?

Does an S Corp's owners loan guarantees increase the owners deductible losses? Well, not any more! The Tax court recently announced that the "the guarantees do not increase an S Corporations owner's deductible losses!"

An S Corporations owners can deduct losses only up to the extent of their investment in the firm, including any advances made. The Tax Court held that "guaranteeing a bank loan counts only when the shareholder makes good on it."
