I don't do many 1065's. I have a client that sold a 30% share of his sole proprietorship to his son. To pay for his share, the son was required to build a new shop for the business. The shop is considered to belong to the partnership. The shop represents about 30% of the value of the assets of the business. Who deducts the depreciation for the shop? The son, who paid for it, or the partnership, where it will be split 30-70 like everything else on the return?

What about another sole proprietor who sold 50% of his business for a cash payment? The new partner wants to know if he gets a deduction for his half of the equipment he bought.

Can you recommend a good resource to find answers to these types of situations?
