I have a partnership where one of the partners died and needs to make an election for Section 754. I am assuming this will be a very common election in partnership, due to Covid. In proseries, will you need to create a new assets for the FMV besides the original assets that the other partners currently have? If I have piece of equipment with carrying basis of 10k but the FMV is 15K, would I create a new asset name it equipment -754 for the 5k step-up and depreciate it over seven years or the remainder of three years. The allocation of this new assets will be allocated to the new partner, being the estate or trust.
Can the step-up basis qualify for section 179? I read that it qualifies for bonus if the transaction is between two unrelated parties.
