Partnership XYZ distributed a piece of land in a nonliquidating distribution to Bob, a 50% partner, during the current taxable year. The land had an adjusted basis of $50,000 and a FMV at the date of the distribution of $180,000. Bob has been a partner for 10 years. He had contributed the land to the partnership at formation when its FMV and basis were both equal. He has a basis in the partnership of $40,000 at year end, without taking into consideration the effects of the distribution. Calculate items 1-4 using the information above.
