Inventory is a Section 751 asset and each partner has an outside basis of $30,000. S, a 50% partner, and T, her co-partner, received a partial distribution from the partnership. S received land worth $30,000 with a basis of $16,000; T received inventory worth $30,000 with a basis of $12,000. What is S's recognized disproportionate gain, ignoring partnership income? A.) $7,000 capital gain B.) $9,000 capital gain C.) $9,000 ordinary gain D.) $14,000 ordinary gain

Explanation / Answer

Answer A.) $7,000 capital gain

Explanation:

As per Section-75

Income for land = Value - basis

=$30000-$16000 = $14000

S's shares = $14000*50%

= $7000
