Financial Information

Following is pertinent information related to NB$$s financial activities in $2022$:

$$ NB uses the accrual method of accounting and has a calendar year$-$end.

$$ NB owns $5,000$ shares of BBQ Holdings, Inc. $($BBQ$)$ stock, which represents less than $1\%$

ownership. BBQ is a US $($domestic$)$ corporation. BBQ distributed a $$1,900$ qualified dividend

to NB on August $1.$

$$ Of the $$1,800$ in interest income, $$400$ was from a Kansas City bond and $$1,400$ was from a

bank account.

$$ All guaranteed payments were made to August for services provided to the partnership.

$$ On December $15,2022,$ NB distributed $$12,000$ to August and $$8,000$ to Grace.

$$ The charitable contribution made during the year was paid in cash.

$$ The $$5,600$ interest expense was related to the notes payable. The note payable is a business

loan and is nonrecourse debt. $($Note: The debt is NOT qualified nonrecourse financing.$)$

$$ Included in the other expenses amount was a sales tax penalty in the amount of $$230$ that

was assessed when NB failed to pay its sales tax on time.

$$ The partnership uses the FIFO inventory method and values its inventory at lower of cost or

market. In addition, UNICAP rules of $263$A do not apply and there was no change in

determining quantities, cost, or valuations between opening and closing inventory.

$$ August, as general partner, is legally responsible for paying NB$$s accounts payable if the

partnership fails to do so$.$

$$ NB did not have any current year fixed asset purchases. In $2020$ and $2021,$ all fixed assets

purchased were fully depreciated using bonus depreciation.

$$ For the purposes of the Qualified Business Income Deduction, the unadjusted basis of

qualified property immediately after acquisition is $$54,000.$
