This webinar will walk tax practitioners through the preparation of new Form 7217, Partner's Report of Property Distributed by a Partnership. Our panel of partnership tax veterans will provide examples of common distribution scenarios, including liquidating and nonliquidating distributions and applying basis adjustments under IRC Sections 732(a)-(c).

Description

The IRS continues to require new forms; likely, these forms help identify transactions for potential audits. Although the information reported on Form 7217 does not require any data that preparers should not have on hand, the IRS asks for the details of certain distribution transactions on the new form. Specific instructions included with form 7217 state, "File with your annual tax return a separate Form 7217 for each date during the tax year that you actually (and not constructively) received distributed property subject to section 732." The instructions also make it clear that distributions of money or marketable securities are not included.

Apparently, the IRS wants to be sure properties distributed under Section 732 are brought to their attention and handled properly. In addition to identifying the property, taxpayers must include whether the distribution was made in liquidation, basis details for the property, and any basis adjustments in Part II. In order to avoid scrutiny, tax professionals need to understand the reporting nuances and underlying requirements of new form 7217.

Listen as our panel of partnership experts explains preparing new Form 7217 for property distributed by a partnership, properly applying the distribution and basis adjustment rules under Section 732.
