The XYZ partnership has the following balance sheet:
Assets | Tax Basis | FMV | |
Real estate | $300,000 | $210,000 | |
Liabilities | $0 | $0 | |
Capital | |||
X | $100,000 | $70,000 | |
Y | $100,000 | $70,000 | |
Z | $100,000 | $70,000 | |
$300,000 | $210,000 |
If Q provides $52,500 of services in exchange for a $25% interest in the partnership, what is the tax effect to Q, X, Y, Z, and XYZ? Assume all of the partners are individuals. How much income does Q recognize? How much gain do X, Y, and Z recognize? How much of a deduction do they get? What basis will XYZ have in the Real estate? What is the balance sheet afterward? If the property is later sold for $210,000, how much gain will each partner recognize? What if it is sold for $180,000?
Income to Q is 52500
Loss to each of them are,
FMV-Tax basis*interest rate/number of partners
210000-300000*25%/3= -7500
Deduction to each partner
= 52500/3 = 17500
Basis of Real estate
=300000*0.75+52500
=277500
After wards balance sheet
Assets tax basis fmv
Real estate 277500 210000
capital
x 75000 52500
y 75000 52500
q 75000 52500
z 52500 52500
Q 277500 210000
The new balance sheet is calculated by ,
Fmv = The begenning balance of each - loss of each
tax basis = total amount / 4
If the property is later sold for $210,000,then the gain will each partner recognize as
Total loss before q admits
=sales-basis
=210000-277500
= -67500
then the loss for each is 67500/3
=22500
if it is sold for $180,000
then sales-basis
=180000-277500
=97500
then the loss for each is 97500/3
32500
