Austin Rice · Answer 1

False

Explanation:

Katie's S704 (c) allocation = $90,000 (basis of the transferred property) - $100,000 (debt) = $10,000

The remaining debt of the partnership = $100,000 - $10,000 = $90,000

Katie's basis in the partnership = 50% x remaining debt = 50% x $90,000 = $45,000
