Internal Revenue Bulletin 2009-6 · 2026-10-03 edition · updated 2026-10-04 · United States
CORPORATE PARTNERS THAT MAKE THE § 168(k)(4) ELECTION
.01 Partnership’s Information to Part- ner .
(1) In general . If a corporation makes the § 168(k)(4) election and is a partner in a partnership (electing corporate partner), the partnership must provide the electing corporate partner with sufficient information to apply § 168(k)(4)(G)(ii) in determining its distributive share of partnership items under § 702 relating to any eligible qualified property placed in service by the partnership during the taxable year. This information must be provided in the time and manner required by § 6031(b) and § 1.6031(b)–1T(a)(3)(ii) and (b). If the partnership has filed its federal tax return for its first taxable year ending after March 31, 2008, on or before February 9, 2009, and did not provide the electing corporate partner with sufficient information to apply § 168(k)(4)(G)(ii), the partnership must provide such information to the electing corporate partner by the later of May 11, 2009, or 90 calendar days after receiving the corporate partner’s notification as required by section 5.02 of this revenue procedure.
(2) Determination of Electing Cor- porate Partner’s Distributive Share . A partnership must compute an electing corporate partner’s distributive share of depreciation and make other correlative adjustments attributable to eligible qualified property placed in service by the partnership using any reasonable
method that is consistent with the intent of § 168(k)(4)(G)(ii). For example, the partnership may apply principles similar to those in § 743(b) and the regulations thereunder to the extent appropriate to make adjustments to the basis of the eligible qualified property and the electing corporate partner’s distributive share of depreciation attributable to such property.
.02 Electing Corporate Partner’s Noti- fication to Partnership . An electing corporate partner must notify the partnership, in writing, that the corporate partner is making the § 168(k)(4) election. This notification must be made on or before the due date (including extensions) of the electing corporate partner’s federal income tax return for its first taxable year ending after March 31, 2008. If the electing corporate partner makes the § 168(k)(4) election by filing an amended return under sections 3.02(1)(a)(ii) or 3.03(2) of this revenue procedure, as applicable, the electing corporate partner must notify the partnership on or before the date it files an amended return containing the § 168(k)(4) election. If the electing corporate partner is described in section 3.03(1) of this revenue procedure, the electing corporate partner must notify the partnership on or before March 11, 2009. Failure to comply with the notification requirement provided by this section 5.02 will nullify a taxpayer’s attempted § 168(k)(4) election.
