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 11/30/2016 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 6/9/2016.

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 1/20/2016 for $25,000 and sold on 4/10/2016 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	77,000
Accounts Receivable				$10,000	20,000
Inventory				15,000	10,000

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.
