a. What gain or loss should each partner report on his or her individual tax return?
b. If the partnership borrowed an additional $100,000 of recourse liabilities, how would your answer to Part a change?
Eve and Tom Had made a limited partnership with an stake of 40% and 60% respectively ....
Business Loss = $ 140000
Capita Gain = $ 20000
Therefore total Loss of the business will be $ 120000.
Individual Earning of the partners......
Eve = $ 46000 (Interest income)
Tom = $ 75000 (Interest Income)
A) Individual Income on their hands...
i) Eve income total Income is as under :--
Interest Income = $ 46000
Business Loss = $ 48000 (40% of $120000)
- Therefore total Loss of Eve in her Individual Tax return is $ 2000
ii) Tom income total income is as under :-
Interest Income = $75000
Business Loss = $72000 (60% $120000)
- Therefore total Gain of Tom in his individual Tax return is $ 3000.
B) If the partnership borrowed an additional $100,000 of recourse liabilities...
It might increase the liability of loss risk, as actually we are in loss making firm and after borrowing Loan a fixed amount of interest should be paid annualy which may increase the margin of loss!!!!
