Exercise 13-26 (LO. 5) Henry is a 50% partner in HJ Partnership. This year, the tax form he receives from HJ (Schedule K-1 of Form 1065) shows business income of $40,000. During the year, Henry received a $10,000 distribution from HJ. Assume Henry's basis in the partnership is $20,000. a. How much must Henry report on his Form 1040 from HJ for the tax year

20,000

Explanation:

Henry has already received the $10,000 from HJ, It would be considered as a partial withdrawal of his share of profit. His total income should be 20,000 (40,000 x 50%) so the remaining 10,000 of his share of profit may be received by him later on a future date

Henry must report on his Form 1040 from HJ for the tax year = 40,000 x 50%

Henry must report on his Form 1040 from HJ for the tax year = 20,000
