Each partner has a basis in his partnership interest. The partner’s basis in his partnership interest is separate from the partnership’s basis in its assets. Partnership tax law often refers to “outside” and “inside” basis. Outside basis refers to a partner’s interest in a partnership. Inside basis refers to a partnership’s basis in its assets. Publication 541 contains information on outside basis. This practice unit focuses on key concepts you must understand in order to properly calculate outside basis.\u003Cbr>The rules regarding the computation of outside basis apply to all types of partners including general partners, limited partners, and limited liability company (LLC) members. The rules apply to entities which are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes including general partnerships, limited partnerships, publicly traded partnerships, limited liability partnerships and limited liability companies (which have at least two owners and which do not elect to be treated as a corporation) .\u003Cbr>A partner may hold both a general and a limited partnership interest in the same partnership. In this case, the partner is considered to have only one unitary basis equal to the combined interests. Rev. Rul. 84-52. Note that the owner of a disregarded entity has no outside basis in the entity for federal income tax purposes.\u003Cbr>Computing a partner’s outside basis is necessary when determining:\u003Cbr>􀂃 The maximum amount of any deduction or loss that passes through to the partner,􀂃 The gain or loss from the disposition of a partnership interest,\u003Cbr>􀂃 The tax consequences of cash distributions, and\u003Cbr>􀂃 The tax consequences of property distributions. |\n\nBack to Table of Contents 3  \nProcess Overview (cont’d)  \n\n| Partner’s Outside Basis |\n| --- |\n| Nature of Partnerships\u003Cbr>Subchapter K of the Internal Revenue Code addresses rules regarding the taxation of partnerships and partners. Certain aspects of Subchapter K are governed by the “aggregate theory” which views the partnership as a collection of its partners. Other aspects are governed by the “entity theory” which treats the partnership as a “taxpayer,” even though it pays no tax. For example, partnerships function as entities when a tax year and a method of accounting are chosen. It is the partnership that selects the tax year and method of accounting, not each partner. Most elections are made by the partnership.
