Re: WNC California Housing Tax Credits III, L.P. (the “Partnership”) – Disposition Notice
Dear «ATTENTION»,
As you may be aware, the Partnership owned a limited partnership interest in Memory Lane Limited Partnership (“Memory Lane”), a South Dakota limited partnership. The Memory Lane limited partnership interest was sold by the Partnership in December 2011. In an appraisal conducted in September 2011, the value of the apartment complex conducted on a restricted rents basis subject to the short-term leases was determined to be $470,000. The outstanding mortgage debt as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $641,000. Inasmuch as the appraisal indicated no remaining equity in the apartment complex, the transfer was made for consideration intended to be sufficient to pay for the Partnership’s closing costs.
We would like to remind you of the investment benefits you have received from the Partnership. The average Limited Partner investing in the Partnership during its initial offering has received federal and state tax credits of approximately 144% of the amount invested. In addition, each Limited Partner has been allocated losses, which are classified as passive losses for most Limited Partners.
The Partnership continues to own interests in other apartment complexes. Consistent with the Partnership’s objectives, the Partnership has generated passive losses from its operations. For a Limited Partner who is an individual, the tax benefits of such passive losses generally are available (1) only upon the Limited Partner’s taxable disposition of his or her entire interest in the Partnership, or (2) on a proportionate basis in connection with the taxable disposition of the Partnership’s interest in individual apartment complexes. The taxable disposition of an interest in an apartment complex might allow a Limited Partner to use passive losses previously allocated to him or her in connection with such apartment complex and not previously used. The sale of the interest in Memory Lane will result in gross taxable income to Limited Partners. Accordingly each Limited Partner is encouraged to consult his, her or its own tax advisor as to the specific tax consequences as a result of the sales.
