Two years ago, Tom contributed investment land with a basis of $50,000 and an FMV of $62,000 to the RST Partnership. This year, Tom has a basis in his partnership interest of $53,000 when he receives a current distribution of $14,000 cash and inventory with a basis of $35,000 and an FMV of $52,000. (There is no Sec. 751 exchange in connection with the inventory distribution.)The partnership continues to hold the land Tom contributed. How much gain (if any)must Tom recognize as a result of this distribution?
