    Partnership K-1

    EFCPA
    Level 1
    The final K-1 in 2020 for the partner shows a negative balance of 35,000, which resulted from distributions taken in excess of income allocated to the partner. Is this reportable as ordinary income on the partner's 2020 1040?

    Distribution in excess of a partner's basis are taxable capital gain. The sale of a partnership interest is part ordinary income and part capital gain.

    Which do you have?
