II. BACKGROUND 1 Unless otherwise specified, all “section” or “§” references are to sections of the Internal Revenue Code or to the Income Tax Regulations (26 CFR part 1). - 2 - Generally, § 6050K and § 1.6050K-1 require a partnership with § 751 property to provide information to each transferor and transferee that are parties to a sale or exchange of an interest in the partnership (or portion thereof) in which any money or other property received by a transferor from a transferee in exchange for all or part of the transferor’s interest in the partnership is attributable to § 751 property (§ 751(a) exchange) a partnership with § 751 property to provide information to each transferor and transferee that are parties to a sale or exchange of an interest in the partnership (or portion thereof) in which any money or other property received by a transferor from a transferee in exchange for all or part of the transferor’s interest in the partnership is attributable to § 751 property (§ 751(a) exchange). Section 1.6050K-1(a)(1) provides that partnerships are required to report each § 751(a) exchange on Form 8308. Generally, § 1.6050K-1(f)(1) provides that a partnership is required to file Form 8308 as an attachment to its Form 1065, U.S. Return of Partnership Income, for the taxable year of the partnership that includes the last day of the calendar year in which the § 751(a) exchange took place. Form 8308 is due at the time for filing the partnership return, including extensions. In addition, § 1.6050K-1(c)(1) provides that each partnership that is required to file a Form 8308 must furnish a statement to the transferor and transferee by the later of (1) January 31 of the year following the calendar year in which the § 751(a) exchange occurred, or (2) 30 days after the partnership has received notice of the exchange as specified under § 6050K and § 1.6050K-1. A partnership must use a copy of the completed Form 8308 as the required statement unless the Form 8308 contains information for more than one § 751(a) exchange. Section 1.6050K-1(c)(1) provides that if the partnership does not use the Form 8308 as the required statement, the partnership must furnish a statement that includes the information required to be shown on the Form 8308 with respect to the § 751(a) exchange to which the person to whom the statement is furnished is a party he Form 8308 contains information for more than one § 751(a) exchange. Section 1.6050K-1(c)(1) provides that if the partnership does not use the Form 8308 as the required statement, the partnership must furnish a statement that includes the information required to be shown on the Form 8308 with respect to the § 751(a) exchange to which the person to whom the statement is furnished is a party. - 3 - Section 6722 imposes a penalty for failure to furnish correct payee statements on or before the required date, and for any failure to include all of the information required to be shown on the statement or the inclusion of incorrect information. For these purposes, payee statements include statements required to be furnished to transferors and transferees under § 6050K. See § 6724(d)(2)(P). Section 6724 provides an exception to the imposition of a penalty under § 6722 if it is shown that the failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. On November 30, 2020, the Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) published T.D. 9926, 85 FR 76910, which amended § 1.6050K-1(c)(2) to require a partnership to furnish to a transferor partner the information necessary for the transferor to make the transferor partner’s required statement in § 1.751-1(a)(3). Among other items, § 1.751-1(a)(3) requires a transferor partner in a § 751(a) exchange to submit with the transferor partner’s income tax return a statement setting forth the amount of gain or loss attributable to § 751 property. In October 2023, the IRS released a revised version of Form 8308. Consistent with the requirements in § 1.6050K-1(c)(2), Part IV of the October 2023 Form 8308 requires a partnership to report, among other items, the partnership’s deemed sale § 751 gain or loss, deemed sale § 1(h)(5) collectibles gain, and deemed sale § 1(h)(6) unrecaptured § 1250 gain, as well as the transferor partner’s share of such amounts the IRS released a revised version of Form 8308. Consistent with the requirements in § 1.6050K-1(c)(2), Part IV of the October 2023 Form 8308 requires a partnership to report, among other items, the partnership’s deemed sale § 751 gain or loss, deemed sale § 1(h)(5) collectibles gain, and deemed sale § 1(h)(6) unrecaptured § 1250 gain, as well as the transferor partner’s share of such amounts. In October 2024, the IRS released a revised version of Form 8308. Part IV of the October 2024 Form 8308 still requires a partnership to report, among other items, the partnership’s deemed sale § 751 gain or loss, deemed sale § 1(h)(5) collectibles gain, and deemed - 4 - sale § 1(h)(6) unrecaptured § 1250 gain, as well as the transferor partner’s share of such amounts. Since the issuance of the October 2023 Form 8308, concerns have been expressed to the Treasury Department and the IRS that many partnerships will be unable to furnish the information required in Part IV of the Form 8308 to transferors and transferees by the January 31 due date, because, in many cases, partnerships will not have all of the information required by Part IV of the Form 8308 by January 31 of the year following the calendar year in which the § 751(a) exchange occurred. On January 11, 2024, the IRS released Notice 2024-19, which provided relief from penalties under § 6722 for partnerships with § 751(a) exchanges occurring during calendar year 2023. III.
