I have prepared a two partners Partnership tax return for the year 2021. The LLC owned a rental property but no rental income from Jan-Aug 2021. One partner quit the Partnership and received $250,000 from the existing partner. I believe the Partnership will be closed on 05/21/2021, the agreement date. The current partner has 75%, and leaving partner has a 25% profit sharing ratio.
As per the Balance sheet, I did not see any basis for the leaving partner. The only balance sheet item is the historical cost of the building and the same amount of non-recourse loan. The existing partner's basis is a non-recourse loan and leaving partner basis. Maybe the property needs to be revalued at FMV. Is it mandatory for partnership business or not necessary?
I have prepared but am not sure about the correctness. If someone helps me to review and provide guidance. I will pay for your service. If you have experience preparing the same tax return before, please help me and let me know the associated cost.

Basis in the partnership is the partner's responsibility.
You've got a final 1065 with a year ended 5/31/21. It is late.
From 6/1/21 the activity is reported on the remaining owners 1040.
If remaining partner paid departing partner $250,000, that is an indication of what the 25% he bought is worth.
Thanks. I thought that, but i am not sure about basis calculation.
Is the basis calculation of the departing partner's responsibility on partnership or departing partner himself? Because, I don't have enough information for the basis.
You're welcome.
