Question:
During the current year, partner J received a proportionate distribution from HIJK Partnership consisting of $13,000 cash and land (an investment asset to the partnership). The land had a basis to the partnership of $20,000 and FMV of $33,000. Prior to the distribution, J’s basis in his partnership interest was $40,000. The distribution had no effect on J’s profit and loss sharing ratio.
- How much gain or loss must J recognize because of this distribution? What basis will J have in the land? What basis will J have in his partnership interest after the distribution?
- Does the partnership recognize any gain on the distribution of the appreciated land to J?
- How would the answer to (a) change if J’s basis in his interest prior to distribution had been $25,000 rather than $40,000.
