As per the above provision 100% loss will be allowed as deduction to Phil
Rental activities are considered "passive" activities, and a loss on a passive activity is not deductible against non-passive income, such as wages. A special rule lets you deduct up to $25,000 of losses from rental real estate in which you actively participate.
