Question

In 2021, Fred and Felix pooled their resources to form F&F Partnership. They will both work actively in the business and they have agreed to share profits and losses 50-50.  To form this partnership, Fred contributed manufacturing equipment with a FMV of $1,000,000 and a basis of $100,000.  Felix contributed $400,000 of cash and land with a fair market value of $800,000 and a basis of $500,000.  The equipment contributed by Fred was not encumbered by debt.  The land contributed by Felix had a $200,000 mortgage (qualified nonrecourse debt) which was assumed by F&F Partnership.

 

In 2023, when Fred’s outside basis is $180,000, Fred received a proportionate non-liquidating distribution as follows:

                                      Adjusted basis                                   Fair Market Value

Cash                                              $130,000                                         $130,000

Inventory                                          20,000                                          45,000

Office equipment                          60,000                                          80,000

 

How much gain or loss does F&F Partnership recognize as a result of this distribution?   

What is Fred’s basis in the assets he receives in this distribution?

What is Fred’s outside basis in his partnership interest following the distribution?
