Real-world examples
Here are a couple of examples of abatement:
Example 1: A partner contributes $50,000 in cash to a partnership. Later, they receive a distribution of $10,000 in cash. Their adjusted capital contribution would be $40,000 after accounting for the distribution.
Example 2: A partner contributes a property valued at $100,000. If the partnership assumes a $20,000 liability associated with that property, the adjusted capital contribution would reflect this liability reduction. (hypothetical example)
