Fernando · Answer 1

C) Both I and II

Explanation:

A partner's tax basis increases as partnership income and gain is allocated to the partner, including the partner's share of tax-exempt income like municipal bonds. The partner must also report a gain on his/her distributive share of partnership items like property, machinery, vehicles or merchandise distribution.
