My client invested in an oil & gas Publically traded partnership. He has passive loss carryovers from this partnership. He originally purchased 1500 shares and sold 500 of those shares in 2007. He does not have a complete disposition of his interest.

He has a $10,000 gain from the sale of which appprox. $4,500 is Section 751 ordinary income from the disposition of hot assets. The K-1 instructions state that "the ordinary income on the sale of assets represents the depreciation and depletion deductions previously allocated to you."

Question: Is this $4,500 passive income?

Thank you

IRC Sec 469. The term passive activity means any activity -
         (A) which involves the conduct of any trade or business, and
         (B) in which the taxpayer does not materially participate.

Therefore I would suggest this is passive income.
