How to Calculate Outside Basis of a Partner

"Outside basis" refers to a partner's tax basis in their partnership interest. Outside basis is calculated as follows:
The partner's initial basis
Plus: additional contributions made by the partner to the partnership
Plus: increases in the partner's share of the partnership's liabilities
Plus: the partner's share of partnership income
Plus: the partner's share of tax-exempt income
Plus: the partner's share of depletion deductions in excess of the depletable property's basis
Minus: distributions of cash or property from the partnership to the partner
Minus: decreases in the partner's share of the partnership's liabilities
Minus: the partner's share of partnership losses
Minus: the partner's share of nondeductible expenses that aren't capital expenditures
Minus: the partner's depletion deduction for any partnership oil and gas property, to the extent the deduction doesn't exceed the proportionate share of the property's basis
Note that a partner's outside basis can never go below zero.

Thank you for posting this content! If the partner's outside basis goes to zero does that then prevent allocation of their share of the partnership loss?
