Partnership change in ownership

I am working on a partnership return and there was a change in ownership in 2023. The partner that left has a negative capital account. Does that amount need to be distributed amongst the remaining partners? Or how do I zero out the account while maintaining tha correct balance sheet? Thank you

 Everyone may have an outside basis. Did the leaving partner contribute any money? OR did they just walk out the door owing money to the partnership. 


Answers are easy. Questions are hard!
