    Answer:B-

    Anna has a $250,000 tax basis for her partnership interest.

    Explanation:

    Since the e substituted basis rules of section 722 and 723 applys, Jason's basis for his partnership interest will be the same as his $180,000 basis for the property contributed. Anna will have a $250,000 tax basis for her partnership interest, Also the partnership will have a $200,000 adjusted basis for the land contributed by Anna and neither Jason nor Anna will recognize a gain or loss on their property contributions.

    =$250000
