On December 31, partner Dana (who is an active managing partner in the partnership) receives a distribution of $120,000 cash in liquidation of her partnership interest under S 736. Dana's outside basis for the partnership interest immediately before the distribution is $90,000. How much is Dana's gain or loss on the distribution and what is its character?

Explanation / Answer

The payment for Dana's share of unrealized receivables is a 736(a) payment, taxed as ordinary income. Dana's share of the receivables is $20000 ($60000 * 1 / 3). The 736(b) payment is $100000, consisting of the amount paid for Dana's 1/3 share of the partnership cash and capital assets. The 736(b) payment is treated first as a return of Dana's $90000 outside basis. The rest of the 736(b) payment is taxed to Dana as a $10000 capital gain.
