The basis is whatever money and tangible property you invested into the partnership. Time worked does not count as a basis. You have to keep up with the basis in order to calculate the profit or loss when the partnership is sold or divided. The basis does not have to be the selling price but is only used for tax calculations. Often a business has built up what the IRS terms Goodwill. This is their reputation, location, value of client list, etc.

You will have to pay taxes on any payments above your tax basis. If you receive more than your basis you pay tax on the gain. This is assuming the property is a total loss. If it was repaired, then your basis would transfer to the repaired property, no loss, no gain.
