Is this an Oil and Gas partnership?
They will do this so the partner can take the intangible drilling cost deductions the first year, after which they are converted to limited partners. Intangible drilling costs being an exception to the passive activity rules.
Doesn't smell right to me and I suppose goes to show who has the lobbying muscle in DC.In other words, a democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.

Don't worry it seems to be legal even though it seems wrong. The part I don't like is the fact they don't get tagged with SE tax when the thing starts paying off. The first year I saw it I spoke with a CPA and an Attorney from the partnership and they sent me some cites that satisfied me as to the legality of the deal. These things must pay a huge commission to the broker. I impressed on my clients the risk they were assuming by being a GP in such a business.In other words, a democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.

Bad case of road nerves I'd guess. I'm more of a mat man myself and was glad to see the boys tie up Iowa State in the Big 12 championships. Burroughs our 157 lb is trying to be the first unbeaten NCAA champion. Finals are Sat night on one of the ESPN channels.In other words, a democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.
