The written partnership provides (a) for capital account maintenance in accordance with requirements of the regulations, (b) that distributions will be made in accordance with the partner's positive capital account balances, and (c) that all partners have an unlimited deficit restoration obligation. The written agreement also provides that items of partnership income and losses generally be allocated 1/3 to each of the partners. It also provides that all losses of the partnership will first be allocated to partner A until such time as the partnership has positive taxable income. At the time of the partnership's formation, A contributed $300,000 to the partnership while B and C each contributed $50,000. The partnership's total Year #1 losses amount to $210,000 all of which is allocated to A. In Year #2, the partnership loses L80,000 all of which is allocated to A. Should the I.R.S. respect the allocation of all partnership losses to A? And if so, why?
