None of the 2019 profits was distributed. TRUE, you cannot distribute profits before you make them. The year has just started, so any distributions must correspond to the prior year.

Mark's gross income from the partnership for 2019 is $40,000. FALSE, a partnership is a pass through entity, and each partner is responsible for his/her complete share of the profits. In this case, Mar's income = $90,000
