FAQ
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.
Generally, a partner selling his partnership interest recognizes capital gain or loss on the sale. The amount of the gain or loss recognized is the difference between the amount realized and the partner's adjusted tax basis in his partnership interest.
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.
You have several options when looking to change ownership of your partnership, such as adding or removing members or tweaking each owner's stake in the company. However, if all of the business's core partners change, you'll need to officially dissolve the company.
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.
If a partnership holds IRC 751(a) property at the time of the sale, the partner recognizes gain or loss from its share of IRC 751(a) assets. The ordinary gain or loss is subtracted from the total gain or loss. The result is the partner's capital gain or loss from the sale.
This allocation is determined by taking the proportion that each loss bears to the total of all of those losses. For this purpose, the total loss for the tax year is the sum of the partner's distributive share of loss for the current year and losses disallowed and carried forward from prior tax years.
The bonus depreciation regulations establish which of those basis adjustment transactions can result in bonus depreciation deductions. The bonus depreciation regulations also establish when property acquired by or from a partnership can be eligible for bonus depreciation.
Excess depreciation recapture is allocated among those partners in proportion to their relative shares of the total gain (including gain recognized under section 1245(a)(1)) from the disposition of the property that is allocated to the partners who are not subject to the gain limitation.
