Column (c). Remedial income allocated to the U.S. transferor. For a reportable section 721(c) property, enter the remedial income allocated to the U.S. transferor under the remedial allocation method. When the gain deferral method applies to a section 721(c) property, the partnership must use the remedial allocation method described in Regulations section 1.704-3(d) for the property. See Regulations section 1.721(c)-3(b)(1)(i)(A).

Column (d). Gain recognized due to acceleration event. For a reportable section 721(c) property, enter the amount of built-in gain taken into account by reason of an acceleration event or partial acceleration event.
