Basis is the amount of your investment in property for tax purposes. The adjusted partnership basis will be used to figure your gain or loss on the sale or disposition of partnership interest.  

To help you track basis, there is a worksheet within the TaxAct® program that will assist you in calculating a partner's adjusted basis. This worksheet can be kept with your yearly tax records so you can easily determine the adjusted basis when selling or disposing of your interest in the partnership.
