A partnership is defined as a contract between two of more people who decide to work together as partners. The rules of this business arrangement are stated in a partnership agreement. The partnership has at least one general partner (GP) who operates the partnership. GPs are liable for their actions as partners and for the activities of other GPs in the partnership. Limited partners, because when the basis balance is zero, are liable for the debts and obligations of the partnership based only on the amount of capital they contribute. The total basis is $90,000, any additional payments to the partner are taxed as ordinary income. The basis calculation is important, on the other hand, this reconciliation is necessary. The basis calculation is reported on Schedule K-1 in the partner’s capital account analysis section. M-1 is a reconciliation of income or loss per the books, so it is advisable to work with a knowledgeable tax professional. Completion of the form can be confusing and complex, less any withdrawals taken by the partner. Because tax rules don’t necessarily follow the economic reality of partnership activities, with income or loss per return.
