Withholding Requirements for Income Allocated to Foreign Partners (Part II) — footnotes


16 TD 9200 (5/13/05).

17 This is not an all-or-nothing rule. The LTP looks through to the UTP’s partners to the extent that the LTP has sufficient information to associate income with specific types of foreign partners (e.g., individuals); see id., Preamble Section F.1.

18 See Regs. Sec. 1.1446-5(f), Example (1).

19 As was noted earlier, the lookthrough procedures may not be used for a publicly traded UTP.

20 Regs. Sec. 1.1446-3 provides details on how to treat the payment for partners that are trusts distributing none, some or all of the income from the partnership.

21 This includes amounts paid with the filing of Form 8804, Annual Return for Partnership Withholding Tax (Section 1446).

22 For a domestic calendar-year partnership, the due date for Form 8804 is March 15 of the following tax year. If the partnership in the example was a domestic partnership, the period for computation of the underpayment addition would end on March 15, and the failure-to-pay penalty would apply from March 16 until the deemed payment date by the foreign partner, June 15.

23 Regs. Sec. 1.1446-3(d)(1)(iv) contains additional requirements for reporting to beneficiaries of estates and trusts.

24 Under Temp Regs. Sec. 1.1446-6T(c)(1)(iii), the amount of a partner’s certified NOL that may be deducted is limited to 90% of the partner’s allocable share of ECTI.
