Where Form 4797 Partnership 2024-2025

Hello and welcome to this session. We would like to clarify a few things before we start. Not every payment between the partnership and the partner is considered a distribution. Many exchanges between the partner and the partnership can be in another form, such as interest or rent payments. These payments are not considered distributions.

Additionally, a partner's share of the partnership debt is treated as a cash distribution. Loss cannot be recognized on a proportionate non-liquidating distribution. Property distribution, on the other hand, does not recognize gain in general. If the inside basis...
