Vacation Rental LLC Tax Question

My wife and I are considering purchasing a second home to use as a vacation rental. I recently learned that we would not be able to deduct a total loss from operating it due to our AGI being over the IRS limit. As an example... If we earn $15k in rentals and have $20k in losses, we cannot deduct the $5k net loss from our regular income because we exceed the AGI limit. We can only show a $0 net on our 1040.

Does anybody know if forming an LLC with the property would help that situation? I've heard that it might...

Any help is appreciated.
