Question 89

Essay

James and Kendis created the JK Partnership by contributing $60,000 each. The $120,000 cash was used by the partnership to acquire a depreciable asset. The partnership agreement provides that the partners' capital accounts will be maintained in accordance with Reg. § 1.704-1(b) (the "economic effect" Regulations) and that any partner with a deficit capital account will be required to restore that capital account when the partner's interest is liquidated. The partnership agreement provides that MACRS will be allocated 10% to James and 90% to Kendis. All other items of partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit will be allocated equally between the partners. In the first year, MACRS is $20,000 and no other operating transactions occur. The property is sold at the end of the year for $100,000 and the partnership is liquidated immediately thereafter.
