Explanation / Answer

1.

Jim's share of the current year partnership income = $60,000

Distribution from the partnership to Jim = $75,000

Therefore,

Jim's new basis in the partnership at the end of the year = $200,000 - $75,000 + $60,000 = $185,000

And,

Jim's taxable income from the partnership = $60,000

Thus, the correct answer is d.$185,000; $60,000
