I wanted to share this question. I found it interesting. I assumed they are parners with 50% ownership - so no loss is allowed. But the answer is totaly different. Does anybody have any thoughts?
Doris and Lydia are equal partners in the capital and profits of Agee & Nolan, but are otherwise unrelated. The following information pertains to 300 shares of Mast Corp. stock sold by Lydia to Agee & Nolan:
|
Year of purchase |
2008 |
|
Year of sale |
2010 |
|
Basis (cost) |
$9,000 |
|
Sales price (equal to fair market value) |
$4,000 |
The amount of long-term capital loss that Lydia recognized in 2010 on the sale of this stock was
A. $5,000
Answer A is correct. Although gains and losses incurred in sales transactions between a partnership and its partners are generally recognized, a loss is disallowed if incurred in a transaction between a partnership and a partner owning (directly or constructively) more than a 50% capital or profits interest. Since Lydia's partnership interest does not exceed 50%, she realizes and recognizes a long-term capital loss of $9,000 – $4,000 = $5,000 from the sale of stock.

No loss is allowed for a MORE THAN 50% partner. Lydia's interest is exactly 50%, not more than 50%. Tricky tricky tricky question!!
