    Depreciating a Liquidated Asset

    Facts - Two member LLC treated as a partnership for tax purposes with each member owing 50%. Partner A purchased all of partner B's interest in the partnership at the end of 2008. With partner A's purchase it automatically caused the partnership to terminate creating a liquidating distrubution. The only asset in the partnership was a warehouse with a net book value of $708,000.

    Question - How is depreciation handled on the warehouse going forward? There was 3 years of depreciation taken including 2008. I beleive partner A now has two sets of basis. one when he was in the partnership and one for the monies paid for the remaing 50% interest in the LLC. Does depreciation on the warehouse start over and only for the amount of Partner A's total basis including any debt basis? Any help would be appreciated.
