Partnership Tax Return Problem I

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

COGS

Tax-exempt interest

Interest income

Dividend income from domestic corporations

Nonqualified dividend income from foreign

corporations

Gain on sale of equipment

maintenance

$10,000 of book depreciation)

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:
