    A. $0 gain, $36,000 basis

    Explanation:

    In the distribution, from the information given, Sarah does not recognize any gain or loss.

    However, given that

    She had $56000 basis at end of year prior to distribution.

    Then receives $20000 from distribution after reallocating her basis in SF to cash in amount equal to distribution

    Therefore,

    Her basis left = 56000 - 20000

    = $36000

    Answer: A. $0 gain, $36,000 basis

    Explanation:

    Sarah will recognize no profit or loss on this distribution.

    She will then adjust her basis based on the amount of cash that she received which is $20,000.

    She will adjust her basis such that the $20,000 will be the result if she subtracts new her basis from the old one so,

    = 56,000 - 20,000

    = $36,000

    If you need any clarification do comment. Cheers.
