Answer:

a. What is the amount and character of Kimberly's recognized gain or loss on the distribution?

Kimberly's capital gain = land's FMV - other land's FMV = $22,675 - $19,850 = $2,825

b. What is Kimberly’s remaining basis in KST after the distribution?

Kimberly's basis = basis + gain - land basis = $18,300 + $2,825 - $15,575 = $5,550

c. What is KST's basis in the land Kimberly contributed after Kimberly receives the distribution?

KST's basis on the land = land's basis + Kimberly's gain = $12,750 + $2,825 = $15,575
