The December 31, 2016, balance sheet of GST Services, LLP reads as follows: The partners share equally in partnership capital, income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit. Capital is not a material income-producing factor to the partnership, and all partners are active in the business. On December 31, 2016, general partner Sue receives a distribution of $200,000 cash in liquidation of her partnership interest under § 736. Sue's outside basis for the partnership interest immediately before the distribution is $150,000.
