submitted 11 years ago by Pub. L. 114-74 to r/title-26-INTERNAL-REVENUE-CODE · 375 words · no verdicts yet
The partnership is responsible for interest and penalties tied to adjustments for a reviewed year and for failure to pay an imputed underpayment in the adjustment year. Different rules calculate each kind, and section 6603 covers deposits that suspend interest.
(a) Reviewed-year amounts. Except as section 6226(c) provides, for a reviewed-year partnership adjustment*, (1) interest is calculated under paragraph (2), and (2) the partnership* is liable for penalties, additions to tax, and additional amounts under paragraph (3). Interest covers the period from the day after the reviewed-year return due date* through the adjustment-year return due date, or earlier payment of the imputed underpayment, under chapter 67. It must be adjusted for intervening-year adjustments caused by the partnership adjustment. Penalties and other amounts are determined at partnership level as if the partnership were an individual taxed under chapter 1 and the imputed underpayment were an actual underpayment or understatement for the reviewed year*.
(b) Adjustment-year failure. If the partnership does not pay an imputed underpayment when due, it owes (1) interest calculated as if the amount were an adjustment-year tax underpayment and (2) penalties, additions, or additional amounts calculated by (A) applying section 6651(a)(2) to the failure and (B) treating the imputed underpayment as an underpayment for part II of subchapter A of chapter 68.
(c) Deposit. For rules allowing a deposit to stop interest on possible underpayments, see section 6603.
Except to the extent provided in section 6226(c), in the case of a partnership adjustment* for a reviewed year—
interest shall be computed under paragraph (2), and
the partnership* shall be liable for any penalty, addition to tax, or additional amount as provided in paragraph (3).
The interest computed under this paragraph with respect to any partnership adjustment is the interest which would be determined under chapter 67 for the period beginning on the day after the return due date* for the reviewed year and ending on the return due date for the adjustment year* (or, if earlier, the date payment of the imputed underpayment is made). Proper adjustments in the amount determined under the preceding sentence shall be made for adjustments required for partnership taxable years after the reviewed year and before the adjustment year by reason of such partnership adjustment.
Any penalty, addition to tax, or additional amount shall be determined at the partnership level as if such partnership had been an individual subject to tax under chapter 1 for the reviewed year and the imputed underpayment were an actual underpayment (or understatement) for such year.
In the case of any failure to pay an imputed underpayment on the date prescribed therefor, the partnership shall be liable—
for interest as determined under paragraph (2), and
for any penalty, addition to tax, or additional amount as determined under paragraph (3).
Interest determined under this paragraph is the interest that would be determined by treating the imputed underpayment as an underpayment of tax imposed in the adjustment year.
Penalties, additions to tax, or additional amounts determined under this paragraph are the penalties, additions to tax, or additional amounts that would be determined—
by applying section 6651(a)(2) to such failure to pay, and
by treating the imputed underpayment as an underpayment of tax for purposes of part II of subchapter A of chapter 68.
For rules allowing deposits to suspend running of interest on potential underpayments, see section 6603.
