FAQ

Under the purchase scenario, one or more remaining partners may buy out the terminating partner's interest for fair market value (FMV) plus any relief of debt realized by the partner.

This means that a partner wishing to leave the partnership must first offer their interest to the other members in the company before offering it to an outside party. If all of the members refuse this offer, the partner is then allowed to transfer interest to anyone they choose.

The sale of a partnership interest is generally treated as a sale of a capital asset, resulting in capital gain or loss for the selling partner.

Transfer of limited partnership interest is allowed as long as the general partner consents to the arrangement and it is done in concert with the established partnership agreement. A common example of a limited partnership is the family limited partnership, which is often created to administer a family business.

In general, as noted earlier, the transferee of a partnership interest must withhold a tax equal to 10% of the amount realized by the transferor on any transfer of a partnership interest unless an applicable exception applies (as discussed below).

Because tax law views a partnership both as an entity and as an aggregate of partners, the sale of a partnership interest may result either in a capital gain or loss or all or a portion of the gain may be taxed as ordinary income.

When one partner wants to leave the partnership, the partnership generally dissolves. Dissolution means the partners must fulfill any remaining business obligations, pay off all debts, and divide any assets and profits among themselves. Your partners may not want to dissolve the partnership due to your departure.

Partnerships are generally guided by a partnership agreement, which may allow or restrict transfers of partnership interest. Partners must follow the terms of the agreement. If the agreement allows it, a partner can transfer ownership stakes in terms of profits, voting rights and responsibilities.

A sale of a partnership interest occurs when one partner sells their ownership interest to another person or entity. The partnership is generally not involved in the transaction. However, the buyer and seller will notify the partnership of the transaction.
