Answer:

1. Rex's gross income from the partnership in 2019 is $120,000.

Explanation:

Rex's gross income from the partnership will definitely be different from the actual amount he withdrew in 2019 and 2020.

These are calculated for Rex as follows:

For 2019:

Partnership taxable income = $400,000

Rex profit sharing percentage = 30%

Rex's gross income = $400,000 × 30% = $120,000

For 2020:

Partnership taxable income = $600,000

Rex profit sharing percentage = 30%

Rex's gross income = $600,000 × 30% = $180,000

Conclusion

Therefore, Rex's gross income from the partnership in 2019 is $120,000 and in 2020 is $180,000
