    Sam would not recognize any gain on the contribution.

    Explanation:

    A partner does not recognize a gain on the contribution from the appreciated property to a partnership unless it is subject to a liability that exceeds the contributing partner basis in the property. Sam is contributing property with a basis of $130,000, subject to a liability of $120,000, for a 25 % in partnership. As a result Sam would have a basis in the contributed property, minus the $120,000 liability assumed by the partnership, plus Sam's portion of the liability, 25% x $120,000 or $30,000.
