Partnership Ending … - Posted by Brad A

My brother & I started a partnership 10 years ago
where he put up down payments on 2 rental houses
and I managed them. The houses were kept
in his name so that 100% of writeoffs would
go to him. At the end, we split the houses;
he kept one and I reimbursed him for the down payment
on the other (which took the form of my being a
nominee for part of the gain on the house he kept
and sold). He’s going to deed the remaining house
over to me.

How do I report this to the IRS ?
What will be my basis ?
Suggestions on structuring this ?
I intend to have the house end up in an LLC
that I control.

Thanks in advance,
