Question

Adnan had an adjusted basis of $11,000 for his interest in the Adnan and Donnell Partnership on December 31. On this date Adnan received from the partnership, in complete liquidation of his interest, $10,000 cash and land with a $2,000 basis to the partnership and a $3,000 FMV.

What is Adnan's basis for the land distributed to him?

Answer 1

$1,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjusted basis - Cash = Remaining basis

Hence,

$11,000 -$10,000 =$1,000

Therefore $1,000 is the remaining basis which is Adnan's basis for the land distributed to him because Adnan's had an adjusted basis of $11,000 for his interest in the Adnan and Donnell Partnershipbin and he also received from the partnership, in complete liquidation of his interest which is $10,000 cash.
