They are a company's copyrighted work and I'm going to get nastigrams eventually from their counsel (it's happened before).
Thank you for understanding.

I know the guaranteed payment is taxable to the S/H, but does it increase his basis in the partnership?Thanks guys
February 17, 2017 at 9:32 pm #1491862sweazyParticipantjack: if memory serves treat guaranteed payments like salary. They certainly wouldnt increase a basis, they do indirectly decrease it though. “indirectly” meaning that guaranteed payments are taken out of the partnership's income which then gets allocated to the partners accordingly.
Note the distinction between a guaranteed payment (salary to partnership) and Distribution. Distributions are when a partner withdrawals a share of their own basis in the partisanship, reducing their basis and putting money in their pocket tax free.

FAR - 9/8/16February 18, 2017 at 11:37 pm #1492512wakefern58ParticipantAs of the beginning of Year 3, Wolf, Inc. has a written accounting policy to expense amounts paid for tangible property costing up to $8,000. Wolf does not have an applicable financial statement for the year. During Year 3, Wolf pays $12,000 for three pieces of office furniture that cost $4,000 each and have an economic life of five years. Under the de minimis rule, how much can Wolf deduct for tax purposes in Year 3?
Could someone help explain this? The answer states “Because they do not have an applicable financial statement, the de minimis rule allows the company to expense items costing up to $2,500 each. These three items cost $4,000 each, which is in excess of $2,500 each. Therefore, none of these costs can be expensed under the de minimis rule”
However, my review material says no applicable financial statement for a company means de minimus max is 500. Any help? Thank you !
February 19, 2017 at 1:18 pm #1492689celiaParticipant@wakenfern58
If company does not an applicable financial statement, the maximum amount is $2,500 per asset after January 1, 2016(Prior to this date, the amount was $500 per asset)
I found this from IRS website.
Hopefully, this will help for you.
