Distributions in excess of basis are a partial or full redemption and qualify for long-term capital gain treatment. However, consideration should be give to Section 751 ("hot assets").

An election under Sec 754 should also be considered if it is beneficial to allocate the recognized gain to the inside basis of the depreciable and other assets in accordance with Section 734(b).

Agreed EAgent. If a "hint" is being applied, then seems to be just another "test" question
