    a. $2,300

    Explanation:

    The composition of the current distribution received by Barbara can be broken down as follows:

    1. Cash = $2,000

    2. Property with an adjusted basis to the partnership = $2,300

    From the above, property with an adjusted basis to the partnership is Barbara's basis in the noncash property received in the current distribution, and this equal to $2,300.

    A) $2,300

    Explanation:

    To record a property distribution, the partnership must use the basis of the property, not its fair market value. So Barbara's basis in the partnership will be reduced to $700 ( = $5,000 partnership's basis - $2,000 cash - $2,300 property basis).

    Property distributions are generally not considered income unless they exceed the partner's basis or the partner worked in the partnership and his/her work is being paid with the property.
