Solution

The answer is c. $10,000 Ordinary Income.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

  1. Lawyer Smith received a 10% interest in the partnership of LMN for services rendered. This means she didn't pay for her share, but instead, she earned it by providing services.

  2. According to the IRS, when a partner contributes services to a partnership in exchange for a partnership interest, the partner is taxed on the fair market value of the partnership interest received.

  3. The basis of LMN's net assets is 100,000.SinceSmithreceiveda10100,000. Since Smith received a 10% interest, the basis of her share is 10% of 100,000, which equals $10,000.

  4. This $10,000 is considered ordinary income, not capital gain, because it's compensation for services rendered, not profit from the sale of an investment.

  5. Therefore, Smith must include $10,000 as ordinary income in her tax return.
