Partnership Buyout

[clacourte1]

Hello,

I have a new client who bought out his partner last year. I've entered the info in the change of ownership section, but I'm wondering what other steps need to be taken or what forms need to be filed with the partnership return? Thanks!

Mark it final. Enter the short year dates if the buyout took place before 12/31/22 .

Report the rest of the year activity on remaining owner's 1040 Sch C or E as appropriate.

And if it didn't happen on 12.31.22, that short year F 1065 is late.

Ok, thanks very much.

Do you know if I need to file form 8308 if he purchased his partner's ownership interest with money from the business?

Yes if there are any assets that would give rise to ordinary income.
