Signature No Longer Required When Making IRC §754 Election
Under proposed regulations on which taxpayers may rely upon immediately, elections made by partnerships under IRC §754 will no longer have to be signed by a partnership representative (REG-116256-17; 82 F.R. 47408-47409, October 12, 2017). The current regulations require that the election be signed, which has created issues with electronically filed partnership income tax returns.
In certain situations, a partnership may elect to adjust the basis of partnership property upon the occurrence of certain actions, such as a transfer of a partnership interest (as provided for in IRC §743) or upon distributions of property (as provided for in IRC §734).
