Box 19 Distributions made to you, the partner or member, during the year
Not reported directly within the program because these codes generally are not reported on your return, but effect your overall basis in the partnership.
Code A - Cash & Marketable Securities
This is the cash and marketable securities distributed to the taxpayer by the partnership. These items reduce the basis that the taxpayer has in the partnership so please be sure you adjust your basis appropriately in your records.
Code B - Distributions subject to section 737
This is the amount of section 737 property which is property that was contributed to the partnership by another partner. This should adjust your basis in the partnership for your records. In addition to a basis reduction there may be a requirement to recognize a gain on any distribution of property designated as section 737 property. Please see the partner's instructions provided by the partnership or contact the issuer directly for further information on the treatment of this distribution.
Code C - Other Property
This amount includes any property distributed to the taxpayer that is not cash, marketable securities, or property that was contributed to the partnership by another partner. These items reduce the basis that the taxpayer has in the partnership and are not reported on the tax return directly. See the partner's instructions provided by the partnership for further information on the type of property distributed and the treatment of this distribution.
