Correction of Publication
Accordingly, 26 CFR Part 1 is corrected by making the following correcting
amendments:
Paragraph 1. The authority citation
for part 1 continues to read in part as follows:
Authority: 26 USC 7805 * * *
Par. 2. Section 1.704-3 is amended
by adding paragraphs (a)(8)(ii) and (a)(8)(iii) to read as follows:
§1.704-3 Contributed property.
(a) * * *
(8) * * * (i) * * *
(ii) Disposition in an installment sale. If a
partnership disposes of section 704(c) property in an installment sale as
defined in section 453(b), the installment obligation received by the partnership
is treated as the section 704(c) property with the same amount of built-in
gain as the section 704(c) property disposed of by the partnership (with appropriate
adjustments for any gain recognized on the installment sale). The allocation
method for the installment obligation must be consistent with the allocation
method chosen for the original property.
(iii) Contributed contracts. If a partner contributes
to a partnership a contract that is section 704(c) property, and the partnership
subsequently acquires property pursuant to the contract in a transaction in
which less than all of the gain or loss is recognized, then the acquired property
is treated as the section 704(c) property with the same amount of built-in
gain or loss as the contract (with appropriate adjustments for any gain or
loss recognized on the acquisition). For this purpose, the term contract
includes, but is not limited to, options, forward contracts, and futures contracts.
The allocation method for the acquired property must be consistent with the
allocation method chosen for the contributed contract.
* * * * *

(3) * * * (i) * * *
(ii) Installment sales. An installment obligation
received by the partnership in an installment sale (as defined in section
453(b)) of section 704(c) property is treated as the contributed property
with regard to the contributing partner for purposes of section 737 to the
extent that the installment obligation received is treated as section 704(c)
property under §1.704-3(a)(8). See §1.704-4(d)(1) for a similar
rule in the context of section 704(c)(1)(B).
(iii) Contributed contracts. Property acquired
by a partnership pursuant to a contract that is section 704(c) property is
treated as the contributed property with regard to the contributing partner
for purposes of section 737 to the extent that the acquired property is treated
as section 704(c) property under §1.704-3(a)(8). See §1.704-4(d)(1)
for a similar rule in the context of section 704(c)(1)(B).
