    Cant file joint return with person receiving paymentsMust be characterized as ALIMONY in the decree and nothing else

    Alimony RecaptureLook at Examples on Pg 365

    2005 2006 200750000 20000 0

    IN 2007 you will recapture amounts from 2006 and 2005

    You start with 2006 and you will subtract 15,000 from first preceding year 20,000

    -15,000= 5000 to recapture from 2006

    Then you figure the 2005 amount to recaptureYou first subtract the 15,000 from the 2005 paymentand then you take the difference between the 2006 payment thatwhich is 15,000 (20,000 -15,000 = 5,000 to recapture so you havand average that with the 2006 and 2007 payments

    = 15,000 + no payment in 2007/ 2 = 7500

  • 8/8/2019 Regulation Notes - Old

    5/72

    You then add the amount from 2005 minus 15,000 and then subtr = 35,000 - 7,500 = 27,500

    So your recapture for 2007 = 5,000 form 2006 and 27,500 from 2

    PARTNERSHIP FORMATION

    No Gain or Loss is recognized by a partner when there is a contribution of property tothe partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership

    UNLESS

    Partner must recognize gain when property contributed is subject to a liabilitypartners individual liability exceeds the partners partnership basis

    Ex. Partner aquires 20% interest in a partnership by contrib property wbut with an adjusted basis of 4000 and a mortgage of 6000. The pathe 6000 mortgage

    Adjusted basis 4000Liability Assumedto other Part -4800 (80% * 6000) have to use what t

    Gain 800

    Your basis in the partnership is 0 since you received more than youYOU CANNOT HAVE A NEGATIVE BASIS

    4000 is the basis of the property to the partnership

    FMV has nothing to do with calculating gain/loss if it does not deal

    Partner must recognize compensation income when an interest in a partnershiin exchange for SERVICES RENDERED

    Ex. X received 10% interest in ABC in exchange for services rendeABC had net assets of 30,000 and a FMV of 50,000.

    X must recognize 5,000 as compensation income. 5000 = ( 10% *

    Since it is a taxable event we use the FMV to figure out income

    5000 is also his beginning basis in the partnership

    Property Contributed to partnership has same basis as it had in the contributing partners

    Basis for the partners partnership interest is increased by the adjusted basis o

    No gain or loss is generally recognized by the partnership upon contribution

    Partnerships holding period for contrib property includes the period of time property wasIt odenst matter what type of property is contributed

    If partner contributes a Capital Asset or Sec 1231 property then his holding period in theof the contributed property
