Table of Contents

Part I. Information About the Partnership

Item D

If the box in item D is checked, you are a partner in a publicly traded partnership and must follow the rules discussed on page 4 under Publicly traded partnerships.

Item E

If the partnership is a registration-required tax shelter, it should have completed item E. Use the information on Schedule K-1 (name of the partnership, partnership identifying number, and tax shelter registration number) to complete your Form 8271, Investor Reporting of Tax Shelter Registration Number.

Item F

If you claim or report any income, loss, deduction, or credit from a registration-required tax shelter, you must attach Form 8271 to your tax return. If the partnership has invested in a registration-required tax shelter, it will check item F and it must give you a copy of its Form 8271 with Schedule K-1. Use this information to complete your Form 8271.

Part II. Information About the Partner

Item M

Item M should show your share of the partnership's nonrecourse liabilities, partnership-level qualified nonrecourse financing, and other recourse liabilities as of the end of the partnership's tax year. If you terminated your interest in the partnership during the tax year, item M should show the share that existed immediately before the total disposition. A partner's “recourse liability” is any partnership liability for which a partner is personally liable.

Use the total of the three amounts for computing the adjusted basis of your partnership interest.

Generally, you may use only the amounts shown next to “Qualified nonrecourse financing” and “Recourse” to compute your amount at risk. Do not include any amounts that are not at risk if such amounts are included in either of these categories.

If your partnership is engaged in two or more different types of activities subject to the at-risk provisions, or a combination of at-risk activities and any other activity, the partnership should give you a statement showing your share of nonrecourse liabilities, partnership-level qualified nonrecourse financing, and other recourse liabilities for each activity.

Qualified nonrecourse financing secured by real property used in an activity of holding real property that is subject to the at-risk rules is treated as an amount at risk. Qualified nonrecourse financing generally includes financing for which no one is personally liable for repayment that is borrowed for use in an activity of holding real property and that is loaned or guaranteed by a federal, state, or local government or borrowed from a “qualified” person.

Qualified persons include any persons actively and regularly engaged in the business of lending money, such as a bank or savings and loan association. Qualified persons generally do not include related parties (unless the nonrecourse financing is commercially reasonable and on substantially the same terms as loans involving unrelated persons), the seller of the property, or a person who receives a fee for the partnership's investment in the real property.

See Pub. 925 for more information on qualified nonrecourse financing.

Both the partnership and you must meet the qualified nonrecourse rules on this debt before you can include the amount shown next to “Qualified nonrecourse financing” in your at-risk computation.

See Limitations on Losses, Deductions, and Credits beginning on page 2 for more information on the at-risk limitations.

Part III. Partner's Share of Current Year Income, Deductions, Credits, and Other Items

The amounts shown in boxes 1 through 20 reflect your share of income, loss, deductions, credits, etc., from partnership business or rental activities without reference to limitations on losses or adjustments that may be required of you because of:

The adjusted basis of your partnership interest,
The amount for which you are at risk, or
The passive activity limitations.
Any other limitations that must be taken into account at the shareholder level in figuring taxable income (for example, the section 179 expense limitation).

For information on these provisions, see Limitations on Losses, Deductions, and Credits beginning on page 2.

If you are an individual and the passive activity rules do not apply to the amounts shown on your Schedule K-1, take the amounts shown and enter them on the lines on your tax return as indicated in the summarized reporting information shown on page 2 of the Schedule K-1. If the passive activity rules do apply, report the amounts shown as indicated in these instructions.

If you are not an individual, report the amounts in each box as instructed on your tax return.

The line numbers in the summarized reporting information on page 2 of Schedule K-1 are references to forms in use for calendar year 2006. If you file your tax return on a calendar year basis, but your partnership files a return for a fiscal year, enter the amounts on your tax return for the year in which the partnership's fiscal year ends. For example, if the partnership's tax year ends in February 2007, report the amounts on your 2007 tax return.

If you have losses, deductions, or credits from a prior year that were not deductible or usable because of certain limitations, such as the basis rules or the at-risk limitations, take them into account in determining your net income, loss, or credits for this year. However, except for passive activity losses and credits, do not combine the prior-year amounts with any amounts shown on this Schedule K-1 to get a net figure to report on any supporting schedules, statements, or forms attached to your return. Instead, report the amounts on the attached schedule, statement, or form on a year-by-year basis.

If the partnership reports a section 743(b) adjustment to partnership items, report these adjustments as separate items on Form 1040 in accordance with the reporting instructions for the partnership item being adjusted. A section 743(b) adjustment increases or decreases your distributive share of income, deduction, gain, or loss for a partnership item. For example, if the partnership reports a section 743(b) adjustment to depreciation for property used in its trade or business, report the adjustment on line 28 of Schedule E (Form 1040) in accordance with the instructions for Box 1 of Schedule K-1.

If you have amounts other than those shown on Schedule K-1 to report on Schedule E (Form 1040), enter each item separately on line 28 of Schedule E (Form 1040).

Codes. In box 11 and boxes 13 through 20, the partnership will identify each item by entering a code in the column to the left of the dollar amount entry space. These codes are identified on page 2 of Schedule K-1 and in these instructions.

Attached statements. The partnership will enter an asterisk (*) after the code, if any, in the column to the left of the dollar amount entry space for each item for which it has attached a statement providing additional information. For those informational items that cannot be reported as a single dollar amount, the partnership will enter an asterisk in the left column and write “STMT” in the dollar amount entry space to indicate the information is provided on an attached statement.

Income (Loss)

Box 1. Ordinary Business Income (Loss)

The amount reported for box 1 is your share of the ordinary income (loss) from the trade or business activities of the partnership. Generally, where you report this amount on Form 1040 depends on whether the amount is from an activity that is a passive activity to you. If you are an individual partner filing your 2006 Form 1040, find your situation below and report your box 1 income (loss) as instructed, after applying the basis and at-risk limitations on losses. If the partnership had more than one trade or business activity, it will attach a statement that will identify the amount of income or loss from each activity.

Report box 1 income (loss) from partnership trade or business activities in which you materially participated on Schedule E (Form 1040), line 28, column (h) or (j).

2. If a loss is reported in box 1, follow the Instructions for Form 8582 to figure how much of the loss can be reported on Schedule E (Form 1040), line 28, column (f). However, if the box in item D is checked, report the loss following the rules for Publicly traded partnerships on page 4.

Box 2. Net Rental Real Estate Income (Loss)

Generally, the income (loss) reported in box 2 is a passive activity amount for all partners. However, the income (loss) in box 2 is not from a passive activity if you were a real estate professional (defined on page 3) and you materially participated in the activity. If the partnership had more than one real estate rental activity, it will attach a statement that will identify the amount of income or loss from each activity.

If you are filing a 2006 Form 1040, use the following instructions to determine where to enter a box 2 amount:

If you have a loss from a passive activity in box 2 and you meet all of the following conditions, enter the loss on Schedule E (Form 1040), line 28, column (f).
1. You actively participated in the partnership rental real estate activities. See Special allowance for a rental real estate activity on page 4.
2. Rental real estate activities with active participation were your only passive activities.
3. You have no prior year unallowed losses from these activities.
4. Your total loss from the rental real estate activities was not more than $25,000 (not more than $12,500 if married filing separately and you lived apart from your spouse all year).

If the partnership reports only unrecaptured section 1250 gain from the sale or exchange of its business assets, it will enter a dollar amount in box 9c. If it reports the other two types of unrecaptured gain, it will provide an attached statement that shows the amount for each type of unrecaptured section 1250 gain.

Box 10. Net Section 1231 Gain (Loss)

The amount in box 10 is generally passive if it is from a:

Rental activity or
Trade or business activity in which you did not materially participate.

However, an amount from a rental real estate activity is not from a passive activity if you were a real estate professional (defined on page 3) and you materially participated in the activity.

If the amount is either (a) a loss that is not from a passive activity or (b) a gain, report it on line 2, column (g), of Form 4797, Sales of Business Property. Do not complete columns (b) through (f) on line 2 of Form 4797. Instead, write “From Schedule K-1 (Form 1065)” across these columns.

The statement will also report your share of any “excess inclusion” that you report on Schedule E (Form 1040), line 38, column (c), and your share of section 212 expenses that you report on Schedule E (Form 1040), line 38, column (e).

Code F. Other income (loss). Amounts with code F are other items of income, gain, or loss not included in boxes 1 through 10 or reported in box 11 using codes A through E. The partnership should give you a description and the amount of your share for each of these items.

Report loss items that are passive activity amounts to you following the Instructions for Form 8582. However, if the box in item D is checked, report the loss following the rules for Publicly traded partnerships on page 4.

Code F items may include the following:

Partnership gains from the disposition of farm recapture property (see the instructions for line 27 of Form 4797) and other items to which section 1252 applies.

You must figure your gain or loss from the disposition by increasing your share of the adjusted basis by the amount of intangible drilling costs, development costs, or mine exploration costs for the property that you capitalized (that is, costs that you did not elect to deduct under section 59(e)). Report a loss in Part I of Form 4797. Report a gain in Part III of Form 4797 in accordance with the instructions for line 28. See Regulations section 1.1254-5 for more information.

For more details, see Pub. 526, Charitable Contributions, and the instructions for Schedule A (Form 1040). If your contributions are subject to more than one of the AGI limitations, see Worksheet 2. Applying the Deduction Limits in Pub. 526.

Charitable contribution deductions are not taken into account in figuring your passive activity loss for the year. Do not enter them on Form 8582.

Code A. Cash contributions (50%). Enter this amount subject to the 50% AGI limitation on line 15 of Schedule A (Form 1040).

Do not deduct the amount shown on this form. It is the partnership's contribution. Instead, deduct the amount identified by code C, box 13, subject to the 50% AGI limitation, on line 16 of Schedule A (Form 1040).

If the partnership provides you with information that the contribution was property other than cash and does not give you a Form 8283, see the Instructions for Form 8283 for filing requirements. Do not file Form 8283 unless the total claimed deduction for all contributed items of property exceeds $500.

Food inventory contributions. The partnership will report on an attached statement your distributive share of qualified food inventory contributions. The food inventory contribution is not included in the amount reported in box 13 using code C. The partnership will also report your distributive share of the partnership's net income from the business activities that made the food inventory contribution(s). Your deduction for food inventory contributions cannot exceed 10 percent of your aggregate net income for the tax year from the business activities from which the food inventory contribution was made (including your share of net income from partnership or S corporation businesses that made food inventory contributions). Report the deduction for the food inventory contribution on line 16 of Schedule A (Form 1040).

Qualified conservation contributions of property used in agriculture or livestock production. The partnership will report on an attached statement your distributive share of qualified conservation contributions of property used in agriculture or livestock production. This contribution is not included in the amount reported in box 13 using code C. If you are a farmer or rancher, you qualify for a 100% AGI limitation for this contribution. Otherwise, your deduction for this contribution is subject to a 50% AGI limitation. Report this deduction on line 16 of Schedule A (Form 1040).

Code G. Investment interest expense. Enter this amount on Form 4952, line 1. If the partnership has investment income or other investment expense, it will report your share of these items in box 20 using codes A and B. Include investment income and expenses from other sources to figure how much of your total investment interest is deductible. You will also need this information to figure your investment interest expense deduction.

If the partnership paid or accrued interest on debts properly allocable to investment property, the amount of interest you are allowed to deduct may be limited.

For more information and the special provisions that apply to investment interest expense, see Form 4952 and Pub. 550.

Code H. Deductions—royalty income. Enter deductions allocable to royalties on Schedule E (Form 1040), line 18. For this type of expense, write “From Schedule K-1 (Form 1065).”

These deductions are not taken into account in figuring your passive activity loss for the year. Do not enter them on Form 8582.

Code I. Section 59(e)(2) expenditures. On an attached statement, the partnership will show the type and the amount of qualified expenditures for which you make a section 59(e) election. The statement will also identify the property for which the expenditures were paid or incurred. If there is more than one type of expenditure, the amount of each type will also be listed.

If you deduct these expenditures in full in the current year, they are treated as adjustments or tax preference items for purposes of alternative minimum tax. However, you may amortize these expenditures over the number of years in the applicable period rather than deduct the full amount in the current year. If you make this election, these items are not treated as adjustments or tax preference items.

Under this election, you may deduct circulation expenditures ratably over a 3-year period. Research and experimental expenditures and mining exploration and development costs may be amortized over a 10-year period. Intangible drilling and development costs may be amortized over a 60-month period. The amortization period begins with the month in which such costs were paid or incurred.

Make the election on Form 4562. If you make the election, report the current year amortization of section 59(e) expenditures from Part VI of Form 4562 on line 28 of Schedule E (Form 1040). If you do not make the election, report the section 59(e)(2) expenditures on line 28 of Schedule E (Form 1040) and compute the resulting adjustment or tax preference item (see Form 6251, Alternative Minimum Tax—Individuals). Whether you deduct the expenditures or elect to amortize them, report the amount on a separate line in column (h) of line 28 if you materially participated in the partnership activity. If you did not materially participate, follow the Instructions for Form 8582 to figure how much of the deduction can be reported in column (f).

Code J. Deductions—portfolio(2% floor). Amounts entered with code J are deductions that are clearly and directly allocable to portfolio income (other than investment interest expense and section 212 expenses from a REMIC). Generally, you should enter these amounts on Schedule A (Form 1040), line 22. See the instructions for Schedule A (Form 1040), lines 22 and 27, for more information.

These deductions are not taken into account in figuring your passive activity loss for the year. Do not enter them on Form 8582.

Code K. Deductions—portfolio (other). Generally, you should enter these amounts on Schedule A (Form 1040), line 27. See the instructions for Schedule A, lines 22 and 27, for more information. These deductions are not taken into account in figuring your passive activity loss for the year. Do not enter them on Form 8582.

Code L. Amounts paid for medical insurance. Any amounts paid during the tax year for insurance that constitutes medical care for you, your spouse, and your dependents. On line 29 of Form 1040, you may be allowed to deduct such amounts, even if you do not itemize deductions. If you do itemize deductions, enter on line 1 of Schedule A (Form 1040) any amounts not deducted on line 29 of Form 1040.

Code M. Educational assistance benefits. Deduct your educational assistance benefits on a separate line of Schedule E (Form 1040), line 28, up to the $5,250 limitation. If your benefits exceed $5,250, you may be able to use the excess amount on Form 8863 to figure the education credits.

Code N. Dependent care benefits. The partnership will report the dependent care benefits you received. You must use Form 2441, line 12, to figure the amount, if any, of the benefits you may exclude from your income.

Code O. Preproductive period expenses. You may be eligible to elect to deduct these expenses currently or capitalize them under section 263A. See Pub. 225, Farmer's Tax Guide, and Regulations section 1.263A-4.

Code P. Commercial revitalization deductions from rental real estate activities. Follow the Instructions for Form 8582 to figure how much of the deduction can be reported on Schedule E (Form 1040), line 28, column (f).

Code Q. Pensions and IRAs. Payments made on your behalf to an IRA, qualified plan, simplified employee pension (SEP), or a SIMPLE IRA plan. See Form 1040 instructions for line 25 to figure your IRA deduction. Enter payments made to a qualified plan, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA plan on Form 1040, line 32. If the payments to a qualified plan were to a defined benefit plan, the partnership should give you a statement showing the amount of the benefit accrued for the current tax year.

Code R. Reforestation expense deduction. The partnership will provide a statement that describes the qualified timber property for these reforestation expenses. Generally, the expense deduction is limited to $10,000 ($5,000 if married filing separately) for each qualified timber property, including your distributive share of the partnership's expense and any reforestation expenses you separately paid or incurred during the tax year.

However, the limitation for the reforestation expense deduction is increased for qualified timber property located in the Gulf Opportunity Zones (GO Zones) for hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. The $10,000 limitation for each property is increased by the lesser of (a) $10,000 or (b) the amount of qualified reforestation expenses paid or incurred by the partnership during the tax year for property located in the GO Zones. The increased limitation does not apply if you held more than 500 acres of qualified timber property at any time during the tax year or if you are a real estate investment trust or a corporation the stock of which is publicly traded on an established securities market. See section 1400N(i)(1) for details.

If you did not materially participate in the activity, use Form 8582 to determine how much of these expenses can be reported on Schedule E (Form 1040), line 28. If you materially participated in the reforestation activity, report the deduction on line 28, column (h), of Schedule E (Form 1040).

Code S. Domestic production activities information. The partnership will provide you with a statement with information that you must use to figure the domestic production activities deduction. Use Form 8903, Domestic Production Activities Deduction, to figure this deduction. See the Instructions for Form 8903 for more details.

Code U. Employer's W-2 wages. Report the portion of W-2 wages reported to you by the partnership (in box 13 of Schedule K-1) on line 13 of Form 8903.

Code V. Other deductions. Amounts with this code may include:

Itemized deductions (Form 1040 filers enter on Schedule A (Form 1040)).
Soil and water conservation expenditures. See section 175 for limitations on the amount you are allowed to deduct.
Expenditures for the removal of architectural and transportation barriers to the elderly and disabled that the partnership elected to treat as a current expense. The deductions are limited by section 190(c) to $15,000 per year from all sources.
Interest expense allocated to debt-financed distributions. The manner in which you report such interest expense depends on your use of the distributed debt proceeds. If the proceeds were used in a trade or business activity, report the interest on line 28 of Schedule E (Form 1040). In column (a) enter the name of the partnership and “interest expense.” If you materially participated in the trade or business activity, enter the amount of interest expense in column (h). If you did not materially participate in the activity, follow the instructions for Form 8582 to figure the amount of interest expense you can report in column (f). See page 3 for a definition of material participation. If the proceeds were used in an investment activity, enter the interest on Form 4952. If the proceeds are used for personal purposes, the interest is generally not deductible.
Interest paid or accrued on debt properly allocable to your share of a working interest in any oil or gas property (if your liability is not limited). If you did not materially participate in the oil or gas activity, this interest is investment interest reportable as described on page 8; otherwise, it is trade or business interest. If you did not materially participate in the oil or gas activity, this interest is investment interest expense and should be reported on Form 4952. If you materially participated in the activity, report the interest on line 28 of Schedule E (Form 1040). On a separate line, enter “interest expense” and the name of the partnership in column (a) and the amount in column (h).
Contributions to a capital construction fund (CCF). The deduction for a CCF investment is not taken on Schedule E (Form 1040). Instead, you subtract the deduction from the amount that would normally be entered as taxable income on line 43 (Form 1040). In the margin to the left of line 43, write "CCF" and the amount of the deduction.
Penalty on early withdrawal of savings. Report this amount on Form 1040, line 30.
Film and television production expenses. The partnership will provide a statement that describes the film or television production generating these expenses. Generally, if the aggregate cost of the production exceeds $15 million, you are not entitled to the deduction. For a television series, each episode of the series is treated as a separate production and only the first 44 episodes of a series are taken into account for the deduction. The limitation is $20 million for productions in certain areas (see section 181 for details). If you did not materially participate in the activity, use Form 8582 to determine the amount that can be reported on Schedule E (Form 1040), line 28, column (f). If you materially participated in the production activity, report the deduction on Schedule E (Form 1040), line 28, column (h).

The partnership will give you a description and the amount of your share for each of these items.

Box 14. Self-Employment Earnings (Loss)

If you and your spouse are both partners, each of you must complete and file your own Schedule SE (Form 1040), Self-Employment Tax, to report your partnership net earnings (loss) from self-employment.

Code A. Net earnings (loss) from self-employment. If you are a general partner, reduce this amount before entering it on Schedule SE (Form 1040) by any section 179 expense deduction claimed, unreimbursed partnership expenses claimed, and depletion claimed on oil and gas properties. Do not reduce net earnings from self-employment by any separately stated deduction for health insurance expenses.

If the amount on this line is a loss, enter only the deductible amount on Schedule SE (Form 1040). See Limitations on Losses, Deductions, and Credits beginning onpage 2.

If your partnership is an options dealer or a commodities dealer, see section 1402(i).

If your partnership is an investment club, see Rev. Rul. 75-525, 1975-2 C.B. 350.

Code B. Gross farming or fishing income. If you are an individual partner, enter the amount from this line, as an item of information, on Schedule E (Form 1040), line 42. Also use this amount to figure net earnings from self-employment under the farm optional method on Schedule SE (Form 1040), Section B, Part II.

Code C. Gross non-farm income. If you are an individual partner, use this amount to figure net earnings from self-employment under the nonfarm optional method on Schedule SE (Form 1040), Section B, Part II.

Box 15. Credits

In general, partners whose only source for credits listed on Form 3800 are from pass-through entities are not required to complete the source credit form or attach it to Form 3800. Instead, you can report this credit directly on Form 3800. However, there are two exceptions. When applicable, all partners must complete and attach the following credit forms to Form 3800.

Form 3468, Investment Credit (line 1a of Form 3800).
Form 8864, Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel Fuels Credit (line 1p of Form 3800).

Codes A and B. Low-income housing credit. The partnership will report your share of the low-income housing credit using code A if section 42(j)(5) applies. If section 42(j)(5) does not apply, your share of the credit will be reported using code B. Any allowable low-income housing credit (reported as code A or code B) is entered on line 4 of Form 8586, Low-Income Housing Credit, or line 1e of Form 3800 (see TIP above).

Keep a separate record of the amount of low-income housing credit from each of these sources so that you can correctly compute any recapture of low-income housing credit that may result from the disposition of all or part of your partnership interest. For more information on recapture, see the instructions for Form 8611, Recapture of Low-Income Housing Credit.

Code C. Qualified rehabilitation expenditures (rental real estate).

If the partnership is reporting expenditures from more than one activity, the attached statement will separately identify the amount of expenditures from each activity.

Combine the expenditures (for Form 3468 reporting) from box 15, code C and box 20, code D. The expenditures related to rental real estate activities (box 15, code C) are reported on Schedule K-1 separately from other qualified rehabilitation expenditures (box 20, code D) because they are subject to different passive activity limitation rules. See the Instructions for Form 8582-CR for details.

For more information, see Form 1116, Foreign Tax Credit, and its instructions; Form 1118, Foreign Tax Credit—Corporations, and its instructions; and Pub. 514, Foreign Tax Credit for Individuals.

Codes O and P. Extraterritorial income exclusion.

Partnership did not claim the exclusion. If the partnership reports your distributive share of foreign trading gross receipts (code O) and the extraterritorial income exclusion (code P), the partnership was not entitled to claim the exclusion because it did not meet the foreign economic process requirements. You may still qualify for your distributive share of this exclusion if the partnership's foreign trading gross receipts for the tax year were $5 million or less. To qualify for this exclusion, your foreign trading gross receipts from all sources for the tax year also must have been $5 million or less. If you qualify for the exclusion, report the exclusion amount in accordance with the instructions for Income (Loss) on page 6 for box 1, 2, or 3, whichever applies. See Form 8873, Extraterritorial Income Exclusion, for more information.
Partnership claimed the exclusion. If the partnership reports your distributive share of foreign trading gross receipts but not the amount of the extraterritorial income exclusion, the partnership met the foreign economic process requirements and claimed the exclusion when figuring your distributive share of partnership income. You also may need to know the amount of your distributive share of foreign trading gross receipts from this partnership to determine if you met the $5 million or less exception discussed above for purposes of qualifying for an extraterritorial income exclusion from other sources.

Upon request, the partnership should furnish you a copy of the partnership's Form 8873 if there is a reduction for international boycott operations, illegal bribes, kickbacks, etc.

Code Q. Other foreign transactions. On an attachment to Schedule K-1, the partnership will report any other information on foreign transactions that you may need using code Q.

A partner that is a corporation subject to alternative minimum tax must notify the partnership of its status.

Code A. This amount is your share of the partnership's post-1986 depreciation adjustment. If you are an individual partner, report this amount on line 17 of Form 6251.

Code B. This amount is your share of the partnership's adjusted gain or loss. If you are an individual partner, report this amount on line 16 of Form 6251.

Individual partners must include this amount on Form 1040, line 8b. Increase the adjusted basis of your interest in the partnership by this amount.

Code B. Other tax-exempt income. Increase the adjusted basis of your interest in the partnership by the amount shown, but do not include it in income on your tax return.

Code C. Nondeductible expenses. The nondeductible expenses paid or incurred by the partnership are not deductible on your tax return. Decrease the adjusted basis of your interest in the partnership by this amount.

Box 19. Distributions

Code A. Cash and marketable securities. Code A shows the distributions the partnership made to you of cash and certain marketable securities. The marketable securities are included at their fair market value (FMV) on the date of distribution (minus your share of the partnership's gain on the securities distributed to you). If the amount shown as code A exceeds the adjusted basis of your partnership interest immediately before the distribution, the excess is treated as gain from the sale or exchange of your partnership interest. Generally, this gain is treated as gain from the sale of a capital asset and should be reported on the Schedule D for your return. However, if you receive cash or property in exchange for any part of a partnership interest, the amount of the distribution attributable to your share of the partnership's unrealized receivable or inventory items result in ordinary income (see Regulations section 1.751-1(a) and Sale or Exchange of Partnership Interest on page 1). For details, see Pub. 541.

The partnership will separately identify both of the following.

The FMV of the marketable securities when distributed (minus your share of the gain on the securities distributed to you).
The partnership's adjusted basis of those securities immediately before the distribution.

Decrease the adjusted basis of your interest in the partnership (but not below zero) by the amount of cash distributed to you and the partnership's adjusted basis of the distributed securities. Advances or drawings of money or property against your distributive share are treated as current distributions made on the last day of the partnership's tax year.

Your basis in the distributed marketable securities (other than in liquidation of your interest) is the smaller of:

The partnership's adjusted basis in the securities immediately before the distribution increased by any gain recognized on the distribution of the securities or
The adjusted basis of your partnership interest reduced by any cash distributed in the same transaction and increased by any gain recognized on the distribution of the securities.

If you received the securities in liquidation of your partnership interest, your basis in the marketable securities is equal to the adjusted basis of your partnership interest reduced by any cash distributed in the same transaction and increased by any gain recognized on the distribution of the securities.

If, within 5 years of a distribution to you of marketable securities, you contributed appreciated property (other than those securities) to the partnership and the FMV of those securities exceeded the adjusted basis of your partnership interest immediately before the distribution (reduced by any cash received in the distribution), you may have to recognize gain on the appreciated property. For property contributed after June 8, 1997, the 5-year period is generally extended to 7 years. See section 737 for details.

Code B. Other property. Code B shows the partnership's adjusted basis of property other than money immediately before the property was distributed to you. In addition, the partnership should report the adjusted basis and FMV of each property distributed. Decrease the adjusted basis of your interest in the partnership by the amount of your basis in the distributed property. Your basis in the distributed property (other than in liquidation of your interest) is the smaller of:

The partnership's adjusted basis immediately before the distribution or
The adjusted basis of your partnership interest reduced by any cash distributed in the same transaction.

If you received the property in liquidation of your interest, your basis in the distributed property is equal to the adjusted basis of your partnership interest reduced by any cash distributed in the same transaction.

If you contributed appreciated property to the partnership within 5 years of a distribution of other property to you, and the FMV of the other property exceeded the adjusted basis of your partnership interest immediately before the distribution (reduced by any cash received in the distribution), you may have to recognize gain on the appreciated property. For property contributed after June 8, 1997, the 5-year period is generally extended to 7 years. See section 737 for details.

If you receive cash or property in exchange for any part of a partnership interest, the amount of the distribution attributable to your share of the partnership's unrealized receivable or inventory items result in ordinary income (see Regulations section 1.751-1(a) and Sale or Exchange of Partnership Interest on page 1).

If business use of the property dropped to 50 percent or less, the partnership must provide all the following information.

Your distributive share of the depreciation allowed or allowable (not including the section 179 expense deduction).
Your distributive share of the section 179 expense deduction (if any) passed through for the property and the partnership's tax year(s) in which the amount was passed through. Reduce this amount by the portion, if any, of your unused (carryover) section 179 expense deduction for this property.

Attach a statement to your federal income tax return to show your computation of both the tax and interest for a nonqualified withdrawal. Include the tax and interest on Form 1040, line 63. To the left of line 63, write the amount of tax and interest and “CCF.”

Code T. Information needed to figure depletion—oil and gas. This is your share of gross income from the property, share of production for the tax year, etc., needed to figure your depletion deduction for oil and gas wells. The partnership should also allocate to you a share of the adjusted basis of each partnership oil or gas property. See Pub. 535 for how to figure your depletion deduction.

Code U. Amortization of reforestation costs. The partnership will provide a statement identifying your share of the amortizable basis of reforestation expenditures paid or incurred before October 23, 2004. The partnership will separately report your share of the amortizable basis for reforestation expenditures for 1999 through 2004. Your amortizable basis of reforestation expenditures for each tax year from all properties is limited to $10,000 ($5,000 if married filing separately), including your distributive share of the partnership's expenditures and any qualified reforestation expenditures you separately paid or incurred. To figure your allowable amortization, see section 194 and Pub. 535.

Follow the Instructions for Form 8582 to report a deduction allocable to a passive activity. If you materially participated in the reforestation activity, report the deduction on line 28, column (h), of Schedule E (Form 1040).

The partnership will report any information you need to figure unrelated business taxable income under section 512(a)(1) (but excluding any modifications required by paragraphs (8) through (15) of section 512(b)) for a partner that is a tax-exempt organization.

A partner is required to notify the partnership of its tax-exempt status.

Code W. Other information. The partnership will report:

Any information a publicly traded partnership needs to determine whether it meets the 90% qualifying income test of section 7704(c)(2).

Note.

A partner is required to notify the partnership of its status as a publicly traded partnership.
Any information or statements you need to comply with the registration and disclosure requirements under sections 6111 and 6662(d)(2)(B)(ii) and the list keeping requirements of Regulations section 301.6112-1.

If the partnership participates in a transaction that must be disclosed on Form 8886, Reportable Transaction Disclosure Statement, both you and the partnership may be required to file Form 8886 for the transaction. The determination of whether you are required to disclose a transaction of the partnership is based on the category(s) under which the transaction qualifies for disclosure and is determined by the partnership. You may have to pay a penalty if you are required to file Form 8886 and fail to do so. See the instructions for Form 8886 for details.
Basis in qualifying advanced coal project property. The partnership will provide an attached statement that shows your distributive share of the partnership's (a) basis in certified and qualified investment in integrated gasification combined cycle property placed in service during the tax year, and (b) basis in qualified investment in other advanced coal project property placed in service during the tax year.

This income is included in the amount in box 4, Guaranteed Payments.
Inversion gain. The partnership will provide a statement showing the amounts of each type of income or gain that is included in inversion gain. The partnership has included inversion gain in income elsewhere on Schedule K-1. Inversion gain is also reported under code W because your taxable income and alternative minimum taxable income cannot be less than the inversion gain. Also, your inversion gain (a) is not taken into account in figuring the amount of net operating loss (NOL) for the tax year or the amount of NOL that can be carried over to each tax year, (b) may limit the amount of your credits, and (c) is treated as income from sources within the U.S. for the foreign tax credit. See section 7874 for details.
Any other information you may need to file your return not shown elsewhere on Schedule K-1.

The partnership should give you a description and the amount of your share for each of these items.
