The Partnership Buyout Agreement Your path to an ownership sale will be simpler if you created a clear and thorough partnership buyout agreement when you started your company. The agreement should discuss what might lead to one of the partners wanting to sell her share and state the terms and timing that would apply.

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.
