Accounting

During the current year, partner J received a proportionate distribution from HIJK Partnership consisting of $13,000 cash and land (an investment asset to the partnership). The land had a basis to the partnership of $20,000 and FMV of $33,000. Prior to the distribution, Js basis in his partnership interest was $40,000. The distribution had no effect on Js profit and loss sharing ratio.

  2. Does the partnership recognize any gain on the distribution of the appreciated land to J?
  3. How would the answer to (a) change if Js basis in his interest prior to distribution had been $25,000 rather than $40,000.
