You will need to talk to a CPA. You are talking about partitioning income producing property and capital gains probably on current FMV. It may be complicated, especially for us ABers.
We are married and own rental property, but our joint income exceeds $150,000. Is there any way to get a deduction for losses on the rental property?

An Enrolled Agent could also answer this question and there is a lot more than meets the eye in this question, eg: how much did the gifter pay for the property?

If this is in the USA, what the giftor paid for the property is irrelevant. The capital gains tax will be based on the difference between the fair market value (FMV) either currently, or at the time of the gift, and what he sells the partitioned plot for. I'm not familiar with the term enrolled agent which makes me think you are not in the USA. I don't know the location of the person who asked this question.

I AM, most definitely, in the US and wouldn't live anywhere else!
You can google 'enrolled agent' or follow this link:http://www.naea.org/memberportal/Resources/ForTaxpayers/whatis_EA.htm
AND to figure the basis of the property, which is what you will use to compute your capital gains, you received as a gift, you must know its adjusted basis to the donor (how much did he/she pay for it, like I said, plus/minus any improvements, depreciation already taken, etc!) just before it was given to you, it's FMV at the time it was given to you, and any gift tax paid on it.

Are you an enrolled agent, Sherri. I had never heard the term before. I slept through income tax law class. The reason I said what the giftor paid was irrelevant because he may have also received it as a gift (if this is family property being passed down) so it would still go to FMV at the time of that transfer -- isn't that right? I always refer people out on tax matters. Good thing, huh.

Yes, I am an EA. Many people have never heard of EAs, so you have lots of company!
And the basis is the LESSER of the fmv or the purchase price, so if he inherited as family property, there could very well be NO basis as the property was bought in 1902 for $500; never mind that the FMV is now $500K because the basis is the lesser of! ouchie!
