Answer:

Lola recognizes a $3,000 gain from this distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

LLC distributed Cash $25,000

Less Basis in ownership interest $22,000

Gain $3,000

Therefore the amount of gain Lola recognized in the distribution is $3,000 because her basis in this ownership interest is $22,000 at the end of the year, in which the LLC distributes $25,000 cash to her in a proportionate current distribution leading to her recognized a GAIN.

Answer: $3,000

Step-by-step explanation:

With a basis of $22,000, Lola received a cash distribution of $25,000.

She would therefore get a gain (loss) of,

= $25,000 - $22,000

= $3,000

Lola received a gain of $3,000.

It is worthy of note that her basis after this distribution is now zero.
