LLC partner can DB plan contribution create a loss?

[ombskid]

I active and 1 inactive partner in an LLC taxed as partnership.

DB plan contribution generally is not supposed to create a loss, (I can't find the thread on that subject but I believe there is at least one) to a sole proprietor. Is it also true to a partnership where profit & loss pass through to 1040?

Yes it is true. The deduction is taken on 1040 against earned income from partnership, and can not create a loss. See IRS publication 560 for more details.

Thanks. Good to know about Pub 560.
