At the end of the year, MIP distributed to Melodie cash of $10,000 and inventory (bais of $6,000, fair market value of $10,000). MIP repaid all of its liabilities by the end of the year. a.

    a. Monica is treated as receiving cash distributions of $50,000 ($10,000 cash plus $40,000 relief of liabilities). The distributions reduce Monica's basis to $10,000

    b. The inventory takes a carryover basis to Monica of $6,000, and reduces her basis in MIP to $4,000

    c. If this is a proportionate liquidating distribution, Monica recognizes a loss of $4,000, and her basis in the inventory will be $6,000. The inventory cannot be "stepped up" to absorb the $10,000 of basis remaining after the distribution. Because Monica has received only cash and inventory, she may claim the loss.
