Solutions

Expert Solution

a.) Karli will not recognize any gain or loss on the distribution because the $150,000 cash distributed does not exceed her $200,000 outside basis.
b.) The inventory has an adjusted basis of $30,000 to Karli. The partnership will distribute the $150,000 cash first, thereby reducing her outside basis for her partnership interest to $50,000 (200,000 – 150,000). The inventory will be distributed next, taking a carryover basis of $30,000 and reducing the adjusted basis for her partnership interest to $20,000
c.) The land parcel is distributed last and takes a $20,000 substituted basis because the basis in the land cannot exceed Karli’s remaining basis in her partnership interest.
d.) Karli’s basis for her partnership interest after the distribution is $0. Her entire $200,000 outside basis has been allocated to the distributed assets in the following amounts:
Cash $150,000
Inventory $30,000
Land $20,000
Total $ 200,000
