The scenario is this:
Client - Person A bought a building with Person B. Person B put up a percentage of the funds with an understanding that when the building sells, he would his percentage of the proceeds. Person B was a silent partner.
Person A found a buyer for the building and sold it. Both parties agreed to do a 1031 exchange for Building 2. The understanding is that when building 2 sold, they would split the proceeds on that sale.
Building 2 sold. Person A received a 1099-S for 100% of the proceeds. The realtors and agents dealt almost exclusively with Person A. Since Person A was not entitled to 100% of the proceeds per their agreement. Part of the proceeds are being treated as having been received as a nominee. He then turned around and paid Person B the funds he was entitled to and provided him with a 1099-S for his share of the proceeds.
For example (not the real numbers here) Person A put up $200,000 and Person B put up $100,000 to buy Building 1 for $300,000. Building 1 sold for $500,000 and Person A did a 1031 exchange for Building 2 for that amount. Building 2 Sold for $600,000. Person A received the 1099-S for the full $600,000. Person A paid person B the $200,000 he was entitled to and issued a 1099-S for that amount.
My question here is where to put that $200,000 in Pro-Connect. Person A is doing another 1031 Exchange with part of his proceeds. He is keeping $100,000 and buying another building for $300,000. So on the Person A's 8824, under cash received I would put Proceeds from the first 1099-S less the 1099-S that Person A issued to Person B and the amount paid for the new building. Is that the correct way to do it? Or is there another way?
