Can anyone give a simple understanding for 704b vs 704c vs tax basis on form 1065. I read but feel totally lost. Thanks

704c is generally the difference between 704b and tax capital. All is different from basis, which technically includes the debt.
704b is the economic interest /real world interest in the partnership. Difference from tax capital is built in gain/loss on contributed property, or from "book ups" on a given event.
Tax capital on the k-1 is the members share of the inside tax basis
704c is the amount of built in gain or loss.
In a simple example, 2 partners form a 50/50 partnership - one contributes $100k cash, the other contributes land with a basis of $75k and FMV of $100k. Each members economic interest on day one is $100k - their starting 704(b) capital. The cash member has tax capital of $100k. The land member has tax capital of $75k, and then a 704(c) built in gain or $25k.

704(b) = Tax + 704(c)

704c follows unrealized. So this is the allocation you would use for hedge fund reveal.

704b is following economic allocations, meaning you would follow allocations to how book did it, aka just follow the Pcap allocations.

Tax basis is calculating the tax basis of the partner or investment ( beginning tax basis, contribution, distribution, taxable income, 18a/18c

Educational Example: You put in $5m cash into a PS and I put in a building worth $5m but with zero tax basis. We are 50-50 equal partners.

Our 704b economic business deal capital accounts are each $5m so we can each be allocated $5m of future losses. You can deduct yours but I cannot deduct mine as I don’t have any 704d outside basis.

Remedial method under 704c let’s us pretend you are buying an interest in the building from me over time. You get allocated fictional deductions and I get allocated fictional income. This is elective and what’s good for you is bad for me so it’s a negotiation.

The purpose of 704c in this example is to try to equalize my 704b capital account ($5m) and my 704d tax basis ($0). So allocating fictional income to me increases my 704d tax basis.

If the PS sells the building 704c requires that any tax gain gets allocated to me up to my built in gain at contribution ($5m excess of fmv over tax basis).

Hope this helps. Good luck.

The b in 704(b) stands for book. The c in 704(c) stands for capital. Then I gave her that 704(d) and now we have a partnership

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH. There is talk of bringing everyone back to the office full time and that’s not what I would like to happen. I’ve been searching for a new position in which it would be a remote role. My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation.

The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??

Am I understanding utilization rate correctly? It’s chargeable time over total time? Charged 40 hours and had 10 hours non-charge so my utilization is 80%? If so, wouldn’t it benefit me to understate non-charge hours so my utilization is higher since they only really care about chargeable time anyways? Charge 40 hours still but only put 5 hours non-charge for utilization to be 89% instead of 80%? Or am I misunderstanding how utilization works?
