The Salt and Pepper Partnership was formed in January of the current year when Salt and Pepper each contributed $10,000 cash and together began to operate a business as equal partners. Both work full-time in the partnership. The partnership borrowed $40,000 on a nonrecourse basis during the year. There are no guarantees or loss limitation agreements. Operations in the year resulted in a $5,000 ordinary loss, $2,000 tax-exempt income, and an $800 charitable contribution. What is Salt’s basis at the end of the current year?

Answer:

Salt's basis = -$3900 from a 50% sharing basis

Salt                         = -3900

Pepper                   =-3900
