Capital Interest
A capital interest is an interest that would give the holder a share of the proceeds in either of the following situations:
- The owner withdraws from the partnership.
- The partnership liquidates.
The mere right to share in earnings and profits is not a capital interest in the partnership. This determination generally is made at the time of receipt of the partnership interest.
