Taxation of Partnership Distributions and Sales of Partnership Interests (TXPD)

Calculating gain or loss on partnership distributions and sales can be complex. Generally, gain on sale of partnership interest receives favorable capital gain treatment, except to the extent that a sale is attributable to the selling partner’s share of the “hot assets.” A partner will not always recognize gain or loss on a distribution, as there are important exceptions when gain or loss is not recognized.  This program provides an understanding of the applicable rules and exceptions for taxation of partnership sales and distributions so tax practitioners can advise partner and partnership clients.
