    Non recourse versus Recourse

    Are liabilities that are general in nature like accounts payable and accruals considered recourse or non recourse to the general partner?

    Recourse. (non recourse are loans that have property pledged as collateral)

      So the accounts payable would be recourse to the general partner?

        Recourse loans often have pledged collateral too, so that does nothing to define the type of liability.

        We can guess the question arises while trying to establish partner basis. Here is an article that seems to capture the issues pretty well.

        If you own an interest in a partnership, each year you receive a K-1 form on which partnership activity is reported to you (the partner) for your share of that year’s activity.? Within the K-1 there is a section that shows each partner’s share of liabilities for that year.? There are three different types of liabilities that are allocated: nonrecourse, qualified nonrecourse financing and recourse.? These liabilities are important components of calculating a partner’s basis both for making tax free distributions and also for deducting partnership losses (at-risk).? Internal Revenue Code Sect


        Here is a more scholarly article (there are plenty to be found, very easily) that indicates payables aren't even considered a liability for a cash-basis partnership.

        Only partnership debt that has an impact on the partnership's inside basis is a liability. All other debt is excluded from consideration.
