This is confusing- Gleim & Becker are stating things differently & Gleim is contradicting itself in a couple of places!

1. When a partner contributes property in exchange for partnership interest & the property is subject to mortgage that the partnership assumes, how is the partner's gain calculated?
In the examples given by Gleim & Becker, it is:
Adj basis of property contributed (less) Mortgage assumed by other partners

However, in another Q, Gleim states that partner must recongnize gain to the extent the reduction in his personal liability exceeds the adj basis of prop contributed PLUS "his share of the new partnership liability"

2. Partner's basis in the p'ship

Per Gleim, this is:
Adj basis of property contributed
(plus) Gain recognized on contributed property
(plus) Partner's share of liability
(less) Partner's liability assumed by P'ship

Per Becker, it is:
Adj basis of property contributed
(less) Partner's liability assumed by P'ship


3. Thankfully, both Gleim & becker agree on Partnership's basis in the contributed property:
Contributed partner's adj basis in the property before contribution (plus) any gain recognized by the partner.

Could someone please clarify. Thanks!

Gain is only recognized when the liability assumed by
other partner's is greater than its basis.

For example,

NBV = $100, Mortgage = $300, 50% interest in P.

gains recognized $50. (150 - 100). Partner's basis = 0

example #2,

NBV = $100, Mortgage = $100, 50% interest in P.

No gains recognized. Partner's basis in partnership is
$50.

Thanks jl0329. Could you also confirm what you have for calculation of partnership basis?

Partnership's basis is just the carry over basis (NBV).

So if a property has a NBV of $100, partnership's basis in
it is $100.
