Answer:
The gain (loss) related to this transaction will Bob report on his X4 return is $38,000
Explanation:
Solution
Given that
The value of land = 57,000
Less: Bob's Adjusted Basis in the land is = -$23,000
The Built in Gain allocated to BOB = $34,000
Now,
The consideration in sales = $65,000
Less: Land Value is = -57000
Both members gain to be allocated= 8000
Hence,
The Total Gain Allocated to BOB is = 34000+(8000*50%) =
34000 = 4000
= 38,000
Note: The original $34000 of built-in gain on the contributed land must be given to the contributing partner which is Bob.
The remaining $8000 of gain must be shared equally between Bob and Frank.
So, Bob will report $38000 gain ($34,000 + (50% × $8,000)) from this transaction on his returns
