SERVICES
A partner's outside basis is not the same as the capital account reported on Schedule K-1. Contributions, income, losses, distributions, liabilities, transfers, and partner-specific adjustments can change each measure differently. Tavella CPA Group provides separately scoped basis, tax-capital, debt-allocation, limitation, and partner-reporting analysis using the available partnership and partner records.

Request a Partnership Basis ReviewRECORDS AND FACTS
Outside basis is maintained at the partner level and may require records across the full ownership period.
BEFORE YOU REQUEST A CALL
Tavella CPA Group identifies the ownership period, starting point, contributions, allocations, liabilities, distributions, transfers, prior adjustments, and missing records. The engagement documents the supported rollforward and separates tax basis, tax capital, at-risk, passive-loss, and legal ownership questions. Missing history can limit or prevent a reliable conclusion.
ANTICIPATED DELIVERABLE
The deliverable identifies the partner, partnership, tax years, and limitation layers included.
COMMON QUESTIONS
No. The Schedule K-1 capital account reflects partnership records under the applicable capital method. Outside basis is partner-specific and can include the partner's share of liabilities and other adjustments not reflected in the capital account.
Sometimes, as a separately scoped project. A reliable result depends on formation or acquisition records, prior returns and K-1s, contributions, distributions, liabilities, transfers, and other partner-specific information. No complete reconstruction is guaranteed.
No legal opinion is provided. Tax facts from an agreement may be coordinated with the client and counsel, but qualified legal counsel owns ownership, contractual, fiduciary, and agreement-interpretation questions.
Do not send tax returns, taxpayer identification numbers, payroll files, bank records, ownership documents, or other sensitive information through the public contact form or ordinary email. Secure upload instructions are provided only after Tavella CPA Group accepts the engagement and opens the appropriate client workflow.
No. A request does not create a CPA-client relationship, start work, guarantee acceptance, or reserve a filing or response deadline. Work begins only after acceptance, conflict and capacity review where applicable, and a signed written engagement that identifies the scope, responsibilities, timing, and fee.
