    In a limited liability company, all members may participate in management (the operating agreement cannot limit participation) and all entity debts are treated as nonrecourse liabilities for purposes of allocating the LLC's liabilities to basis. True/False

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    In a limited liability company, all members may not participate in management as it can be limited by the operating agreement. Additionally, entity debts are not always treated as nonrecourse liabilities for purposes of allocating the LLC's liabilities to basis. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    In a limited liability company, all members are protected from all debts of the partnership unless they personally guaranteed the debt. True/False

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In a limited liability company, the members are protected from the debts of the partnership. This means that the personal assets of the members cannot be used to satisfy the debts of the company. However, if a member personally guarantees the debt, they become personally liable for it and can be held responsible for repayment. Therefore, the statement is true.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In a limited liability partnership, all members have the ability to participate in the management of the entity. Additionally, they have personal liability for the debts of the partnership. However, the exception to this personal liability is in cases of malpractice committed by the other partners. Therefore, the statement is true as it accurately reflects the characteristics of a limited liability partnership.

    Rate this question:

  • 5.

    The primary purpose of the partnership agreement is to document the various tax elections made by the partners regarding depreciation methods, treatment of research and experimental costs, calculation of the § 199 deduction, and the § 754 election. True/False

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    False - The partnership agreement documents the arrangement among the partners regarding formation, operation, and liquidation of the partnership; allocations of profits, losses, and distributions; and other matters.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The taxable income of a partnership flows through to the partners, who report the income on their tax returns. True/False

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because in a partnership, the income earned by the partnership is not taxed at the entity level. Instead, the income is "passed through" to the individual partners, who then report their share of the partnership's income on their personal tax returns. This allows the partnership to avoid double taxation, as the income is only taxed once at the individual partner level.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    An example of the "aggregate concept" underlying partnership taxation is the fact that the partners (rather than the partnership) pay tax on partnership income. True/False

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because in partnership taxation, the partners are considered to be the owners of the partnership and therefore, they are responsible for paying taxes on the partnership income. This is in contrast to other forms of business entities, such as corporations, where the entity itself pays taxes on its income. In a partnership, the income and losses "flow through" to the partners, who report them on their individual tax returns and pay taxes accordingly. This concept of the partners being responsible for the taxes reflects the aggregate nature of partnership taxation.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    An example of the aggregate concept of partnership taxation is that the partnership makes elections related to depreciation, tax credit calculations (except the foreign tax credit), and whether or not to claim § 179 deduction. True/False

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    False - This is an example of the entity concept.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The partnership agreement might provide, for example, that all interest income is allocated to Partner A. Allocating income in this manner is an example of a separately stated item. True/False

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    False - This is an example of a special allocation of income

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    A partner will have the same profit-sharing, and capital-sharing ownership percentages. True/False

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    False - Each partner's profit-sharing, loss-sharing, and capital-sharing ratios are reported on that partner's Schedule K-1. In many cases, the three ratios are the same. However, if the partner agreement provides for special allocations or if capital contributions or distributions differed at some point from the profit-or loss-sharing %, these ratios may differ fro a given partner.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    The "inside basis" is defined as a partner's basis in the partnership interest. True/False

    Section 721 provides that, in general, no gain or loss is recognized by the partnership or the partner on contribution of appreciated or depreciated property to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership. True/False

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Section 721 of the tax code states that no gain or loss is recognized when a partner contributes appreciated or depreciated property to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership.

    Explanation
    True - Kevin's $110,000 basis is substituted basis equal to the sum of the bases in the properties he contributed: $60,000 cash, $0 equipment, $50,000 land. Marshall's substituted basis of $0 equals his basis in the contributed account receivable.

    Section 721 provides that no gain or loss is recognized on a contribution of property to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership. An exception might apply if the taxpayer receives cash distribution from the partnership soon after the property contribution is made. True/False

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Section 721 of the tax code states that no gain or loss is recognized when a taxpayer contributes property to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership. This means that the taxpayer does not have to pay taxes on any potential gains or losses resulting from the contribution. However, if the taxpayer receives a cash distribution from the partnership shortly after making the contribution, an exception may apply and the gain or loss could be recognized. Therefore, the statement "True" is the correct answer.

George will report ordinary income equal to the FMV of the profits interest, but the capital interest will not be currently taxed to him. True/False

    • True

    • False

    Explanation
    False - George will recognize ordinary income equal to the FMV of the capital interest. The FMV of the profits interest is not reasonably assured and is, therefore, indeterminable.

    If the partnership properly makes an election for treatment of a specific tax item, the partner is bound by that treatment. True/False

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When a partnership makes an election for the treatment of a specific tax item, it means that they have made a deliberate choice on how to handle that particular item for tax purposes. Once this election has been made, the partner is legally obligated to adhere to that chosen treatment. Therefore, the statement that the partner is bound by that treatment is true.

    A partnership cannot use the cash method of account if one of the partners is a C corporation. True/False

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    False - A partnership may be able to use the cash method of accounting if the partnership has never had "average annual gross receipts" in excess of $5 million in any prior 3-year period, if the C corporation partner is a qualified personal service corporation, or if the partnership is engaged in the farming business.

    The Greene Partnership had average annual gross receipts for the past 3 years of 4.8 million, and has never had average annual gross receipts above $5 million. One of the partners is Jackson, Inc., a Subchapter C corporation.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the correct answer is that the average annual gross receipts for the past 3 years of The Greene Partnership is 4.8 million, which is below the threshold of $5 million. This means that The Greene Partnership meets the average annual gross receipts test and is eligible to use the cash method of accounting. The fact that one of the partners is a Subchapter C corporation does not affect this eligibility. Therefore, the statement "Because Greene meets the average annual gross receipts test, it may use the cash method of accounting even though it has a partner that is a Subchapter C corporation" is true.

    Debt of a limited liability company is allocated among LLC members using the nonrecourse debt allocation rules unless an LLC member has personally guaranteed the debt. True/False

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the correct answer is that in a limited liability company (LLC), the debt is typically allocated among the members using the nonrecourse debt allocation rules. This means that the members are not personally liable for the debts of the company. However, if a member has personally guaranteed the debt, they would be personally responsible for it. Therefore, the statement that debt of an LLC is allocated using the nonrecourse debt allocation rules unless a member has personally guaranteed the debt is true.
