Question

Partner Beth has a basis of $10,000 in a partnership at the beginning of the year. She receives $6,000 in cash distributions, her distributive share of income is $5,000, and she receives a land distribution with a basis of $8,000 (FMV $20,000). What is Beth’s partnership interest basis at the end of the year?

a. $0
b. $1,000
c. $9,000
d. $10,000

Answer 1

b. $1,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Basis at the beginning of the year $10,000

Less cash received $6,000

=$4,000

Distributive share of income is $5,000

Less land distribution with a basis of $8,000

=$3,000

Hence:

$4,000-$3,000

=$1,000

Therefore Beth’s partnership interest basis at the end of the year will be $1,000
