14 Instructions for Form 8865 (2025)

  • Transfer by a U.S. transferor or a partnership in which a U.S. transferor is a direct or indirect partner transfers (directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships) all or a portion of the section 721(c) partnership that owns section 721(c) property to a foreign corporation.

As a result of the section 367 event, the section 721(c) property is no longer subject to the gain deferral method. The U.S. transferor is treated as transferring the section 721(c) property to a foreign corporation and is subject to taxation on the transfer under section 367. See the section 367 regulations for rules relating to gain or income recognition under section 367.

Note: A transfer of property to a foreign corporation by a U.S. transferor is subject to other reporting requirements under sections 367, 351, 368, and 6038B (for example, the filing of Form 926), as applicable. See the related regulations under these Code sections. Such reporting requirements are in addition to the filing of Schedule H.

After considering the tax consequences under section 367, the remaining built-in gain, if any, for the section 721(c) property is recognized by the U.S. transferor to the extent that would have been allocated to the U.S. transferor had the section 721(c) partnership sold that portion of the property immediately before the transfer for FMV.

Column (b). Provide a description of the section 367 transfer, including whether the transfer was a direct or indirect transfer (through one or more partnerships) of section 721(c) property to a foreign corporation. If more than one section 367 transfer occurs in the tax year, provide the required information for each transfer separately in Part IV in chronological date order. If additional space is needed, provide the information in Part VI.

Column (d). Enter the amount of the remaining portion of built-in gain recognized by the U.S. transferor under section 721(c). The amount of gain equals the remaining portion of the built-in gain that would have been allocated to the U.S. transferor if the section 721(c) partnership had sold that portion of the section 721(c) property immediately before the transfer for FMV. This amount should not include any gain or income recognized by the U.S. transferor pursuant to section 367 that is reported elsewhere on the return. See Regulations section 1.721(c)-5(e). After the section 367 transfer, the transferred section 721(c) property will no longer be subject to the gain deferral method.

Column (e). Enter the identifying information of the foreign transferee corporation that received the section 721(c) property in the section 367 transfer. The identifying information includes the name, address, and U.S.TIN, if any.
