In addition, the partnership earned $6,000 of long-term capital gains during the year. Partner Donald owns a 50% interest in the partnership. How much and what type(s) of income must Donald report for the tax year?

Answer 1

Answer: $75,000 ordinary income; $3,000 of long-term capital gains.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that the POD Partnership received revenues of $200,000 and paid $50,000 in rent and utilities, and $20,000 as a distribution to partner Olivia. Also, the partnership earned $6,000 of long-term capital gains during the year and that Partner Donald owns a 50% interest in the partnership.

From the question, the ordinary income of the firm will be the difference between the revenue gotten and the $50,000 paid in rent and utilities which is an expense. This will be:

= $200000 - $50000

= $150000

The income from capital gain = $6000

Since, Donald will get 50% of what the partnership makes, thus will be:

50% of $150,000 ordinary income which is (50/100 × $150,000) = $75,000 and 50% of $6000 capital gain which will be $3,000.

= 50

Therefore, Donald will get $75000 of the ordinary income and $ 3000 of the capital gain.
