Taxes on rental home sale

We sold a rental home for 535K and did 1031 exchange for a house at lesser value due to one member of LLC electing not to be part of new house purchase 315K. The sale occurred 12/23. Last April each of us received a k-1 for share of what I assume is the capital gains difference in the lesser price purchased. This year the member who chose not to be in 1031 got a K-1 for the Boot money that was received.  Am I understanding correctly that the first K-1 was for the capital gains and that the K-1 that member recently received would be from the payment he received?

Thanks

The first K-1 would have been the difference in the price and the resulting capital gains from the sale.  

 

The second K-1 should represent the amount needed to buy out the remaining partner's interest in the original home since they were not participating in the partnership anymore.

There are not sufficient facts to address this question:

  • You can't "sell" a rental and have a Section 1031 in the same transaction.
  • Was the Section 1031 handled with an intermediary?
  • Hopefully the answer is "yes", as if not, you have a problem
  • Is the one LLC member still a member of the LLC?
  • Based on the limited facts, assuming a valid Section 1031, this is only a partial exchange since the FMV of the replacement property is less than the exchanged property.
  • You need to have an in-person visit with a tax professional to help you through this issue.  A forum such as this is not good for these types of questions; too many facts and questions going back and forth.
