Two years ago, Idalia contributed land to a partnership. Her basis in the land then was $7,000, and its fair value was $14,000. This year, the land is distributed to Wilfred, another partner in the partnership. Idalia and Wilfred each have a 50 percent capital and profits interest in the partnership. At the time of distribution, the land’s fair value is $12,000, Idalia outside basis is $24,000, and Wilfred’s outside basis is $30,000. What are Idalia’s and Wilfred’s outside bases after the distribution? (Assume none of the precontribution gain has been previously recognized.)
