Assume the same facts as in Problem 47, and assume that Suz-Anna prepares the capital account rollforward on the partners’ Schedules K–1 on a tax basis.

a. What is Suzy’s capital account balance at the beginning of the tax year?
b. What is Suzy’s capital account balance at the end of the tax year?
c. What accounts for the difference between Suzy’s ending capital account and her ending tax basis in the partnership interest?

Data From Problem 47:

Suzy contributed assets valued at $360,000 (basis of $200,000) in exchange for her 40% interest in Suz-Anna GP (a general partnership). Anna contributed land and a building valued at $640,000 (basis of $380,000) in exchange for the remaining 60% interest. Anna’s property was encumbered by a qualified nonrecourse debt of $100,000, which was assumed by the partnership. The partnership reports the following income and expenses for the current tax year:

During the current tax year, Suz-Anna refinanced the land and building (i.e., the original $100,000 debt was repaid and replaced with new debt). At the end of the year, Suz-Anna had recourse debt of $100,000 for partnership accounts payable and qualified nonrecourse debt of $200,000.

a. What is Suzy’s basis after formation of the partnership? Anna’s basis?
b. What income and separately stated items does the partnership report on Suzy’s Schedule K–1? What items does Suzy report on her tax return?
c. Assume that all partnership debts are shared proportionately. At the end of the tax year, what are Suzy’s basis and amount at risk in her partnership interest?
