—Generally, file Form 8308 as an attachment to Form 1065 for the tax year of the partnership that includes the last day of the calendar year in which the section 751(a) exchange took place.
From the seller's perspective, the partnership recognizes gain or loss on the sale of assets, which flows through to the partners on their K-1s. The character of the gain or loss depends on the assets sold and can be a combination of ordinary gain/loss and capital gain/loss.
If a partner's departure triggers an end to the partnership, the partners will need to follow a dissolution procedure. In this case, the partnership will settle its debts and distribute any remaining assets to the partners—including the withdrawing partner—ing to their capital accounts.
The seller in situation one will calculate their gain as if they had sold the underlying assets of the partnership. Unlike the sale of stock for a C-corporation or S-corporation, some of the gain in the sale of partnership units may be recharacterized to ordinary income instead of being all capital gain.
