Question: On January 1 , 2 0 2 2 , H and N formed a limited partnership to acquire and operate a rental apartment building. N

On January 1,2022, H and N formed a limited partnership to acquire and operate a rental apartment building. N, the limited partner, contributed $680 and H, the general partner, contributed $120. The partnership obtained a nonrecourse loan from an unrelated financial institution for $5,200 and purchased a building for $6,000 on leased land. The loan is secured by the building. The loan requires interest to be paid currently, but does not require any principal payments for 25 years. The building is depreciable over 10 years at the rate of $600 per year.
The partnership agreement satisfies the first two requirements of the basic test for economic effect (i.e., the capital account and liquidation requirements). N has no obligation to make up any deficit in her capital account. The partnership agreement, however, does have a QIO provision. It also has a minimum gain chargeback provision as described in 1.7042(f). The partners agree that nonrecourse deductions will be shared equally. Finally, the agreement provides that all items of income, deduction and loss, other than nonrecourse deductions, will be allocated 85% to N and 15% to H.
For the taxable years 20222024, the partnership has $600 of gross rental income and $600 of out of pocket expenses ($260 in interest and $340 in operating expenses). As a result of the depreciation deduction on the building, the partnership has an annual net tax loss of $600 each year. During this period, the partnership makes no distributions.
The partnerships initial balance sheet is as follows:
Assets Liabilities & Capital
Basis/Book
Building $6,000 Mortgage $5,200
Capital Accounts
Tax/Book
H $ 120
N 680
$800
How would the loss be allocated in year 2022,2023 and 2024.
