T sold his son a 30 interest in his partnership on January 1

T sold his son a 30% interest in his partnership on January 1, of the current year. T retained a 50% interest and the remaining partner is T\'s father. The partnership had taxable income of $100,000 for the year. T drew no salary from the partnership. Capital is a material income-producing factor. The partnership and the partners have a calendar-year tax year. What is T\'s share of taxable income if T performed services worth a reasonable compensation of $30,000 and the son performed no services?

A. $25,000

B. $40,000

C. $65,000

D. $80,000

Solution

T\'s son = 30%

T = 50%

T\'s father = 20%

T did not draw the salary for his services performed. And hence the Taxable income is $100000.

T\'s Share will be = $30,000 + ($100000-$30,000)*0.5

i.e his salary + 50% of the after salary net taxable income (70,000)

= $65,000(C)
