Question
Grant and Marcy formed Director Partnership on January 1, 2009. They are equal partners. Grant contributed cash of $100,000 and equipment with FMV of $200,000 and basis of $80,000. Marcy contributed land with FMV of $600,000 and adjusted basis of $350,000. The land was used by Marcy in her sole proprietorship prior to its contribution to the partnership. Director Partnership sells the land in 2017 for $1,000,000.
What is Grant’s outside basis in the partnership immediately after formation?
What is Marcy’s outside basis in the partnership immediately after formation?
What amount of gain will be recognized by Marcy on the sale of the land in 2017?
Explanation / Answer
Grant's outside basis in the partnership immediately after formation = Cash + Basis of equipment
=100,000 + 80,000 =$180,000
Marcy's outside basis in the partnership immediately after formation = Adjusted basis of land = $350,000
Gain recognized by Marcy on the sale of land in 2017 = FMV of land - Adjusted basis of land
= 600,000 - 350,000 = $250,000
