Miami Dade College Accounting Tax Return Analysis

I’m working on a accounting project and need an explanation to help me learn.

Download the partnership tax return project instructions (Links to an external site.) and complete the IRS Form 1065 and two accompanying Schedule K-1s (one for each partner) for the fictitious Jamco Turf company. As part of this tax return, you will also need to prepare Schedule D, IRS Form 1125-A, and IRS Form 4797. Line items that indicate “attach statement” or reflect totals not directly computed on the same form must be accompanied by an attached statement. For example, for Form 1065, line 20 – Other deductions, attach to your deliverable package a Word or PDF “Statement” document displaying the items and computations that result in the figure entered on line 20.

• Provide calculations for each partner’s inside and outside basis in Jamco at the beginning and end of the company’s first year of business. Display the calculations for Jamco’s basis in the new assets held at the beginning of the year and also show Jamco’s revised basis at the end of the year of operation. Depreciation will be a value provided in the given data.
