I have a client who is a limited partner in a real estate partnership which was sold in 2007. I have the final K-1 with all the required information to determine profit or loss . Attached to the K-1 was some general information about the sale which included a note regarding possible deduction of my client's portion of Syndication costs that were incurred when the partnership was initially formed (marketing costs etc )

As I understand the 1045 Partnership rules these syndication costs were capitalized but never depreciated or amortized. They were shown as an asset on the books .

Can my client deduct the prorata sgare of the syndication costs on the year of sale ? If so would it be deductible as a miscellaneous itemized deduction or somewhere else. I cannot find an entry it anywhere on the final K-1.

Thanks ....

First, does your client have basis remaining?
