§220.2. Rules for allocation of basis
A. General rule. Any increase or decrease in the adjusted basis of partnership property under R.S. 47:215 B (relating to the optional adjustment to the basis of undistributed partnership property) or R.S. 47:219 B (relating to the optional adjustment to the basis of partnership property in the case of a transfer of an interest in a partnership) shall, except as provided in Subsection B, be allocated:
(1) in a manner which has the effect of reducing the difference between the fair market value and the adjusted basis of partnership properties, or
(2) in any other manner permitted by regulations prescribed by the collector.
B. Special rule. In applying the allocation rules provided in Subsection A of this Section, increases or decreases in the adjusted basis of partnership property arising from a distribution of, or a transfer of an interest attributable to, property consisting of:
(1) capital assets, or
(2) any other property of the partnership, shall be allocated to partnership property of a like character except that the basis of any such partnership property shall not be reduced below zero. If, in the case of a distribution, the adjustment to basis of property described in Subsection B(1) or B(2) of this Section is prevented by the absence of such property or by insufficient adjusted basis for such property, such adjustment shall be applied to subsequently acquired property of a like character in accordance with regulations prescribed by the collector.
