    CPA · Question 51 · Area 4: Entity Taxation

    Partner X has an outside basis of ,000. In a non-liquidating distribution, X receives cash of ,000 and property with a basis to the partnership of ,000 (FMV ,000). What is X's basis in the property received and ending outside basis?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Property Basis: ,000; Ending Outside Basis: ,000

    B.

    Property Basis: ,000; Ending Outside Basis: 0

    C.

    Property Basis: ,000; Ending Outside Basis: (,000)

    D.

    Property Basis: ,000; Ending Outside Basis: 0

    How to approach this question

    Non-liquidating: Basis = Lesser of Partnership's Basis OR Partner's Remaining Outside Basis (after cash). Cash first!

    Full Answer

    B.Property Basis: ,000; Ending Outside Basis: 0✓ Correct
    Property Basis: ,000; Ending Outside Basis: 0
    In a non-liquidating distribution, cash reduces basis first (,000 - ,000 = ,000). The property then takes a carryover basis, limited to the partner's remaining outside basis. Since only ,000 basis remains, the property basis is stepped down to ,000, and outside basis becomes 0.

    Common mistakes

    Assigning the full partnership basis to the property even when outside basis is insufficient.
