Palmer contributes property with a fair market value of $4,000,000 and an adjusted basis of $3,000,000 to AP Partnership. Palmer shares in $1,000,000 of partnership debt under the liability sharing rules, giving him an initial adjusted basis for his partnership interest of $4,000,000. One month after the contribution, Palmer receives a cash distribution from the partnership of $2,000,000. Palmer would not have contributed the property if the partnership had not contractually obligated itself to make the distribution. Assume Palmer's share of partnership liabilities will not change as a result of this distribution.

a. Under the IRS's likely treatment of this transaction, what is the amount of gain or loss that Palmer will recognize because of the $2,000,000 cash distribution?

b. What is the partnership's basis for the property after the distribution?

c. If Palmer is unhappy with this result, can you suggest a possible alternative that may provide him with a better answer?
