Christy Albright and Dan Ralls formed the Charter Company on 11/30/2010, and chose a tax year ending on 11/30. Charter was formed to operate a restaurant (at 7848 Pesca Dr., San Francisco, CA 94123) and rent out some space in the restaurant building. Charter elected to be taxed as a partnership, and the income statement for the year ending 11/30/2015 is as follows:

Sales $400,000

COGS -150,000

Tax-exempt interest 6,000

Interest income 4,000

Dividend income from domestic corporations 5,000

Nonqualified dividend income from foreign corporations 3,000

Gain on sale of equipment 10,000

Depreciation -30,000

Repairs and maintenance -7,000

Rent expense -12,000

Salaries to nonpartners -60,000

Salaries to partners -30,000

Income from real estate rentals 100,000

Expenses from real estate rentals

(includes $10,000 of book depreciation) -80,000

Gain on sale of stock (held < 1 yr.) 20,000

Health Department fines -2,000

Investment interest expense -1,000

Subtotal $176,000

Charter chooses the accrual method of accounting. The equipment sold was an imported oven that had been fully depreciated. It originally cost $4,000 on 5/3/2008 and was sold for $10,000 on 6/9/2015. The tax depreciation amount for the year was $40,000, not including $5,000 of Section 179 expense that Charter chose to take on some equipment they purchased, and not including the $10,000 per year depreciation of the rental real estate, which is included in the $80,000 of costs above. (Note: according to the Form 4562 instructions, the depreciation from the rental activity would not need to be disclosed on Form 4562) Of the $30,000 of guaranteed payments, $20,000 goes to Christy and $10,000 is paid to Dan. Assume that 40% of the investment interest expense is nondeductible because it relates to the tax-exempt interest. The stock sold was 1000 shares of Alter Corporation, purchased on 1/20/2015 for $25,000 and sold on 4/10/2015 for $45,000.

Christy owns 60% of the partnership, and is an active partner. Dan owns 40%, but is a passive, limited partner. During the year Christy was distributed $60,000 and Dan was distributed $40,000. The balance sheet of the partnership is as follows:

Beginning Ending

Cash $10,000 77000

Accounts Receivable $10,000 20000

Inventory 15,000 10,000

Tax-exempt securities 100,000 100,000

Equipment 90,000 140000

Accumulated depreciation -50,000 -66000

Real estate 700,000 700000

Accumulated depreciation -40,000 -60000

Total assets 835,000 921,000

Accounts payable 10,000 20000

Mortgages 500,000 500000

Capital, Christy 195,000 240,600

Capital, Dan 130,000 160,400

Total liabilities and capital 835,000 921,000

All of the $54,000 of equipment purchased this year was restaurant equipment, and was 5-year property eligible for the Section 179 deduction. Aside from the equipment expensed under Section 179, all of the new equipment was depreciated under MACRS. All of the mortgage debt is qualified nonrecourse debt, and none of it is payable in the next year. Fill out a Form 1065 and all other appropriate forms for Charter and the related Schedules K-1 for Christy and Dan. The necessary addresses and TINs are as follows:

Christy Albright 5050
