tax basis
The question has come up at our latest meeting. Why is the
tax basis so much more than the total paid in? I read the
help, but I want to be able to explain it to the group in
simple terms. Thanks, amz46@yahool.com
The tax basis also includes any net income/gains that were allocated to the members each year when the K-1s were prepared. If your tax basis weren't increased by these amounts you would be paying double taxation - once when earned and again when you withdrew from the club.
