When a Club Member Exits: Weighing Payout Options
In the StockCentral forum, Don M. poses a question about what happens when an investment club member wishes to fully withdraw from the club. In Don's club, members are wondering about the various payout options. "We understand it could be in the club's interest to pay him out in stock, but what is the advantage to taking stock (instead of having the club pay him in cash) for him? Is the cost basis of the holdings the value at the time of his withdrawal, or is it the same as the club's cost basis for that holding?"
ICLUBcentral board member Jim Thomas replies: "In an investment club organized as a partnership, when a partner fully withdraws and is paid in cash, that partner will have a realized a capital gain (or loss) due to their withdrawal. That capital gain/loss is shown on their Withdrawal Report (but not on their final K-1). The amount of capital gain/loss will be the difference between the market value of their club units and their tax basis in the club. This capital gain/loss must be reported on their personal tax return for the year of withdrawal.
"The benefit to a fully withdrawing partner of getting paid with transferred stock instead of cash is that the withdrawing partner does not realize any capital gain/loss due to their withdrawal. (In this situation, the stock transfer is not a taxable event.) Capital gain/loss is deferred until they eventually sell the transferred stock. The withdrawn partner's tax basis in the transferred stock will be their tax basis in the club (less any cash paid as part of the withdrawal)." So why should a fully withdrawing partner who prefers cash be willing to accept payment in stock instead? Read more on this question in the StockCentral Forums.
