How to reflect zeroed capital accounts in final return for LLC?

I am filing a final return for an LLC that has never had any income or depreciation.  Original capital accounts for three partners totaled $50,000.  There was no cash to distribute at closure.  How do I reflect this on the 1065 Schedule M-2?  Do I decrease the accounts to 0.00 on Line 7 (other decreases)?  If so, what is the itemization language for "capital account loss at business closure"?  Or ... does the balance on Line 9 (balance at end of year) remain at $50,000 and the partners claim the loss individually on their returns?  Thanks in advance for any help!
