Hi, Mipatke9241:  The partnership does not hold any depreciable assets, instead has one patent and some know how.  I know the  basis for my interest in partnership is $1000.  But how do I align my outside basis of $1000 with my inside basis of $350 by making what election?  Section 743(B) , 734(b)  and section 754 election? Since I don't have depreciated properties, do I adjust the basis of patent and goodwill?  Really appreciate your further explanations.  I am an accountant professional who was puzzled by these.  Thank you!
