15. A partnership is required to make a Sec. 743 adjustment to the basis of partnership property upon
a
transfer of a partnership interest by sale or exchange or on the death of a partner if the partnership has
a substantial built-in loss immediately after such transfer. For this purpose, a partnership has a sub-
stantial built-in loss if the partnership's adjusted basis for partnership property exceeds the FMV of
such property by more than $250,000.
16. A partnership is required to make a Sec. 734 downward basis adjustment to partnership property
in the
event of it partnership distribution with respect to which there is a substantial basis reduction. For this
purpose, a substantial basis reduction means a downward adjustment of more than $250,000 that
would be made to the basis of partnership property if a Sec. 754 election were in effect with respect to
the distribution.
