Originally posted by TaxGuyBill View PostThis may not be particularly helpful, but Partner #1's "Partnership Interest" is stepped up, not the property itself. So the Estate or beneficiary would benefit from that when the Partnership ended.
Did that happen in 2017? If so, the Partnership had a "Technical Termination".

Partner death
Originally posted by Florida_EA View PostCorrect since the property are majority of the assets.Friends double; family triple. Don't buy an audit for yourself. If someone has to go to jail make sure it is the client. Remember it is only taxes, nothing important.
