5 5 I. Overview of Section 752 Liabilities and Interplay with IRC Section 704 Allocations Andrew W. Ratts (312) July 11, 2012
6 6 Allocation of Partnership Income Introduction In determining its income tax, each partner must take into account separately its "distributive share" (whether or not any cash or property is distributed) of partnership items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit A partner's distributive share of book income is determined by 704(b) and the regulations thereunder. A partner's distributive share of taxable income generally follows its 704(b) share, but with modifications under 704(c). 6
7 7 Allocation of Income sec. 704(b) Treas. Reg (b) provides the rules to determine whether an allocation provided in the partnership agreement will be respected for tax purposes as either (i) having substantial economic effect or (ii) being in accordance with the partners' interest in the partnership.
8 8 Allocation of Taxable Income sec. 704(c) Income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to property contributed by a partner to a partnership shall, under regulations, be shared among the partners so as to take account of the variation between the basis of the property to the partnership and its FMV at the time of contribution. ( 704(c)(1)(A)) Treas. Reg provides three methods for eliminating book/tax disparities: the traditional method, the traditional method with curative allocations and the remedial method. The partnership is also permitted to use any reasonable method of making the allocations. The partnership is not limited to the three methods described in the regulations. The choice of method may be made on a property-byproperty basis.
9 9 Allocation of Taxable Income - IRC 704(c) Traditional Method Tax allocations to the noncontributing partner of cost recovery deductions with respect to the 704(c) property must equal book allocations of those deductions to the extent possible. The ceiling rule provides that total income, gain, loss, or deduction may not exceed the partnership s total income, gain, loss, or deduction recognized for tax purposes.
10 10 Allocation of Taxable Income - IRC 704(c) Example Traditional Method
11 11 Allocation of Taxable Income - IRC 704(c) Traditional Method With Curative Allocations If the ceiling rule applies, the partnership looks for another tax item of the same amount and character as the item limited by the ceiling rule. Remedial Allocation Method Two elements. The partnership steps into the shoes of the contributing partner for the portion of the book value equal to the adjusted tax basis. The remainder of the book value (book value less tax basis) is recovered as if it were a newly purchased asset placed in service at the time of the contribution.
12 12 Allocation of Taxable Income - IRC 704(c) Example Traditional Method With Curative Allocations Use the same facts given for the traditional method, but assume that the partnership also has $4,000 of ordinary income to be allocated.
13 13 Allocation of Taxable Income - IRC 704(c) Example Remedial Allocation Method
14 14 Outline of 752 Increase in partner s liabilities ( 752(a) and Reg (b)) Considered a contribution of money by the partner to the partnership Includes: Any increase in the partner's share of partnership liabilities. Any increase in the partner's individual liabilities by reason of the partner's assumption of partnership liabilities. Decrease in partner s liabilities ( 752(b) and Reg (c)) Considered a distribution of money by the partner from the partnership Includes: Any decrease in the partner's share of partnership liabilities. Any decrease in the partner's individual liabilities by reason of the partnership's assumption of the partner's individual liabilities.
15 15 Outline of 752 Liability to which property is subject ( 752(c)) Considered a liability of the owner of the property to the extent of the FMV of the underlying property Sale or exchange of a partnership interest ( 752(d) and Reg (h)) Liabilities are treated in the same manner as liabilities in connection with the sale or exchange of property not associated with partnerships. The reduction in the transferor partner's share of partnership liabilities is treated as an amount realized under 1001 and the regulations thereunder.
16 16 Liability Defined An obligation is a liability only if, when, and to the extent that incurring the obligation: Creates or increases the basis of any obligor s assets (including cash); Gives rise to an immediate deduction of the obligor; or Gives rise to an expense that is not deductible in computing the obligor s taxable income and is not properly chargeable to capital. An obligation is a fixed or contingent obligation to make payment without regard to whether the obligation is otherwise taken into account for purposes of the Code.
17 17 Recourse/Nonrecourse Liabilities Definition of recourse liability Partnership liability to the extent any partner or related person bears the economic risk of loss for that liability under Reg Definition of a nonrecourse liability Partnership liability to the extent that no partner or related person bears the economic risk of loss for that liability under Reg Nonrecourse liabilities are allocated in three tiers: The partner's share of partnership minimum gain under 704(b); The amount of any taxable gain that would be allocated to the partner under section 704(c) (or in the same manner as section 704(c) in connection with a revaluation of partnership property) if the partnership disposed of all partnership property in full satisfaction of the liabilities and for no other consideration; and The partner s share of the partnership s excess recourse liabilities. (Flexibility!)
18 18 Allocations Attributable to Nonrecourse Liabilities (Reg ) Deductions attributable to partnership nonrecourse liabilities ( nonrecourse deductions ) cannot have economic effect. Nonrecourse deductions must be allocated in manner deemed to be in accordance with the partners interests in the partnership as provided in Reg (e). Partnership agreement must comply with capital account maintenance rules. Partnership agreement allocates nonrecourse deductions in a manner that is reasonably consistent with allocations that have substantial economic effect of some other significant item attributable to the property securing the nonrecourse liabilities. Partnership agreement must contain a minimum gain chargeback provision.
19 19 Allocations Attributable to Nonrecourse Liabilities (Reg ) 1 st Tier /Minimum Gain Layer: Partnership minimum gain generally equals the recapture of nonrecourse deductions as gain which the partnership would realize if it disposed of property subject to a nonrecourse liability for no consideration other than full satisfaction of that liability. Increases and decreases in minimum gain from separate properties are netted for a partnership taxable year. Net increase or decrease in partnership minimum gain for any partnership taxable year is determined by comparing the partnership minimum gain on the last day of the immediately preceding taxable year with the partnership minimum gain on the last day of the current taxable year.
20 20 Allocations Attributable to Nonrecourse Liabilities (Reg ) 2 nd Tier/ 704(c) Layer: generally equals the gain the partnership would realize if it disposed of property subject to a nonrecourse liability for no consideration other than full satisfaction of that liability. 704(c) method (traditional, curative or remedial) is relevant reverse 704(c) included
21 21 Allocations Attributable to Nonrecourse Liabilities (Reg ) 3 rd Tier/Excess Layer: (very) generally in accordance with partnership profits or in accordance with facts and circumstances. Option 1: As such profits interests are specified, provided that the specified profits interests are reasonably consistent with the allocations of some other significant item of partnership income or gain. Option 2: In the manner in which it is reasonably expected that the deductions attributable to such nonrecourse liability will be allocated (taking into account 704(c)). Option 3: Up to the amount of the remaining 704(c) gain (including reverse 704(c) gain) not taken into account under the 2 nd tier, with any remaining amount under another method. A different method may be applied each year.
22 22 Allocations Attributable to Recourse Liabilities ( partner nonrecourse deductions ) Deductions attributable to partnership liabilities for which a partner or related person bears the economic risk of loss must be allocated to that partner. Ordering rules Partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback. Limited DRO and Limited Guarantees Creation of Recourse Obligation Obligation must be enforceable Plan to avoid or circumvent obligation DRO/Guarantee may be eliminated or reduced May not affect prior allocations Does not result in remaining impermissible negative capital account
23 Recourse and Nonrecourse Liability in Partnership Agreements Tuesday, July 10, 2012 Jon R. Stefanik, JD, MT 23
24 Distinguishing Recourse and Nonrecourse Liabilities Jon R. Stefanik
25 Recourse vs. Nonrecourse Relevance of Classification Section 1001 / 108 Sales and exchange vs. COD income Section 752 Basis of partnership interest Section 704 Allocations of nonrecourse deductions, e.g. Section 465 At-risk basis 25
26 Recourse Classification of Liabilities (state law purposes) Creditor has recourse to all of Debtor s assets to satisfy the underlying debt Nonrecourse Obligation secured by specific property Creditor is limited to such property to satisfy the obligation 26
27 Section 1001 No statutory definition of recourse / nonrecourse No regulatory definition State-law definition understood to control Effect of distinction see example 27
28 Example 1 A purchases a tractor from B for $1,000 cash and a seller note of $9,000 A becomes delinquent at a time when the balance due on the note is $7,000, A s basis in the tractor is $3,000 and the FMV of the tractor is $5,000 B forecloses and accepts return of the tractor in full payment of the note 28
29 Example 1 Continued If the note is nonrecourse Full $7,000 note balance is treated as amount realized and A has gain of $4,000 ($7,000 amt realized less $3,000 basis) If the note is recourse A is treated as having sold the tractor for $5,000 (its FMV) resulting in $2,000 of Section 1001 gain A also has $2,000 of COD income (excess of note balance over FMV of tractor) 29
30 Sections 465 / 704 / 752 Partnership definitions of recourse and nonrecourse apply 465 Partner is not at-risk under Section 465 for his share of nonrecourse debt Exception for qualified NR financing 752 allocation of debt among partnes 704 deductions funded by debt attributable to partner(s) to whom debt is allocated 30
31 Recourse Classification of Liabilities (partnership rules) A partner or a related person bears the economic risk of loss for the liability Nonrecourse No partner or a related person bears the economic risk of loss for the liability Allocated in accordance with three tiers 31
32 Economic Risk of Loss Constructive liquidation test A partner bears the economic risk of loss with respect to a liability to the extent the partner would have to pay the liability if the partnership liquidated and all of the partnership s assets were worthless Guarantees and other arrangements In determining who must pay a partnership liability, consideration is given to all guarantees and other contractual arrangements among the parties and other relevant facts and circumstances Guarantor is deemed able to pay irrespective of net worth 32
33 Disregarded Entities Special rule applies where a partner holds his partnership interest through a DE Partner is treated as being at risk of loss only to the extent of the net value of the DE This rule does not apply where the partner is otherwise liable for the obligation (e.g., via a guarantee) 33
34 DE Example A owns 100% of LLC; LLC is a DE LLC and B each contribute $100k to AB AB borrows $200k LLC has a DRO, but B does not LLC has no net value For tax purposes, A is treated as direct owner of LLC s interest in AB Even though A has a DRO (through LLC), no EROL because state law limits his exposure to LLC s debts. Thus, debt is NR 34
35 Interplay of Sections Does state-law or Section 752 definition apply? See Great Plains Gasification Associates v. Comm r, TC Memo TP argues for recourse classification so that COD income can be excluded under Section 108 Tax Court finds that the liability is nonrecourse because no partner bears risk of loss (i.e., Section 752 standard applied) Even though creditor had recourse to all of the LLCs assets (i.e., the state law standard) 35

40 40 Partnership Anti-Abuse Subchapter K is intended to permit taxpayers to conduct joint business activity through a flexible economic arrangement without incurring an entity-level tax Implicit in this intent are three requirements: The partnership must be bona fide and used for a substantial business purpose; The transaction must be respected under a substance over form analysis; and The resulting tax consequences must clearly reflect income (or else the distortion must be clearly contemplated by the applicable provision). Treas. Reg (b) Does compliance with regulatory provisions of Sections 707 and 752 mean partnership anti-abuse rule does not apply? 40
41 41 IRS Response to Levpar Transactions CCA (Aug. 8, 2002) Facts: Taxpayer's subsidiary, Y, contributed assets to a partnership, Z Z borrowed money from a syndicate of banks, and made a special distribution to Y. Y then distributed this amount as a dividend to Taxpayer Y guaranteed Z's liability, increasing its basis in its interest in Z (which allowed Y to avoid recognizing income on the distribution from Z) 41
42 42 C.C.A , cont. IRS disregarded Y's guarantee, finding that Y's lack of capital and the restrictive prerequisites for Y's performance under the guarantee suggested the existence of a plan to avoid any performance obligation from Y on the guarantee Without the guarantee, the liability of the partnership was treated as nonrecourse, which generally caused the transaction to be treated as a disguised sale 42
43 43 C.C.A , cont. The IRS also sought to disregard the transaction on the following grounds: Partnership Anti-Abuse Rule: transaction was entered into with a principal purpose of reducing the partners' federal tax liability Substance-Over-Form: taxpayer effectively parted with the benefits and burdens of the assets while receiving cash equal to the value of the assets, thus taxpayer should be taxed in accordance with the substance of the transaction (a sale) and not its form (contribution and distribution) Sham Partnership: facts did not show that taxpayer and other nominal partner in good faith and acting with a business purpose intended to join together in the conduct of a business 43
44 44 Canal Corp. vs. Commissioner, 135 T.C. No. 9 (2010) The court held that the formation of a joint venture between a subsidiary of Chesapeake Corp. (now known as Canal Corp.), and Georgia Pacific ("GP"), was actually a disguised sale under Section 707(a)(2)(B). As a result, Chesapeake had to include an additional $524 million of income on its consolidated return.
45 45 Canal Corp. vs. Commissioner Wisconsin Tissue Mills Inc. ("WISCO"), a whollyowned subsidiary of Chesapeake, owned and operated a commercial tissue business that Chesapeake wanted to get rid of.
46 46 Canal Corporation Structure WISCO and GP formed Georgia Pacific Tissue LLC. GP contributed its tissue business assets with an agreed value of $376.4 million in exchange for a 95% interest. WISCO contributed its tissue business assets with an agreed value of $775 million in exchange for a 5% interest. On the contribution date, the LLC borrowed $755.2 million from BoA and immediately distributed the borrowed funds to WISCO as a special distribution. WISCO received a "should" opinion from PwC regarding the tax-free nature of the transaction. 46
47 47 WISCO's Indemnity GP guaranteed repayment of the loan, and WISCO agreed to indemnify GP in the event GP made payment on its guarantee, subject to certain limitations. Indemnity was added as a tax, rather than business, requirement. Limitations on the indemnity included: WISCO, not Chesapeake, was chosen as the indemnitor so that only the WISCO assets would be at risk. Indemnity only covered the loan's principal, not interest. Indemnity required GP to first proceed against the LLC's assets before demanding indemnification from WISCO. If WISCO was required to make a payment under the indemnity, WISCO would receive an increased interest in the LLC proportionate to any payment made under the indemnity. WISCO was not required to maintain a certain net worth.
48 48 WISCO's Assets & Liabilities WISCO used the distributed funds to repay certain intercompany debt and to pay a dividend. WISCO also loaned $151 million to Chesapeake in exchange for a promissory note. Following the transaction, WISCO's assets consisted of the $151 million intercompany note and a corporate jet worth $6 million (or approximately 21% of the maximum exposure under the indemnity). In addition, WISCO was still subject to certain environmental liabilities and was a guarantor on a Chesapeake line of credit.
49 49 Tax Court Analysis The Tax Court presumed that a disguised sale took place, unless the facts and circumstances indicated otherwise. WISCO transferred assets to the LLC and the LLC immediately thereafter transferred $755.2 million to WISCO. Chesapeake argued that the debt-financed transfer exception applied. Because of the indemnity, WISCO bore the entire economic risk of loss on the LLC debt. The IRS conceded that an indemnity is generally recognized as a valid contractual obligation to be considered in determining who bears the ultimate risk of loss.
50 50 Tax Court Analysis The IRS argued, however, that WISCO's indemnity should be disregarded under the anti-abuse rule applicable to partnership debt allocations, which provides that a partner's obligation may be disregarded if: the facts and circumstances indicate that a principal purpose of the arrangement is to eliminate the partner's risk of loss or to create a façade of the partner bearing the economic risk of loss; or the facts and circumstances evidence a plan to circumvent or avoid the obligation. Treas. Reg (j)(1), (3). Therefore, the Tax Court had to determine if the indemnity was used as a device to make it appear that WISCO had an obligation for which it did not bear the actual economic risk or loss.
51 51 Tax Court Analysis The Tax Court found that WISCO did not in substance bear the economic risk of loss for the partnership's loan. "We find that WISCO's agreement to indemnify GP's guaranty lacked economic substance and afforded no real protection. In reaching this conclusion, the court relied on the following factors: GP did not require the indemnity; The indemnity covered only the loan's principal amount, not interest; GP was required to proceed against the LLC before it could pursue an indemnity claim against WISCO; and If WISCO made a payment under the indemnity, it would receive a proportionately increased interest in the LLC.

57 57 Relied Upon Exception to Disguised Sale Rules If, as here, a partner transfers property to a partnership and the partnership incurs a liability, and all or a portion of the proceeds of that liability are allocable to a transfer of money to the partner made within 90 days of incurring the liability Then, the transfer of money to the partner is taken into account (as proceeds of a disguised sale) only to the extent that the amount of money transferred exceeds the partner's allocable share of the partnership liability See Treas. Reg (b)(1). 57
58 58 Guarantee in Bankruptcy? Newsday and Tribune have only % and 5% membership interests in the new partnerships, but are allocated substantially greater amounts of the debt pursuant to guarantees. In the Newsday deal, Tribune indemnified Cablevision for any payments made under Cablevision's guarantee of the Newsday, LLC credit facility However, should Tribune's obligation be disregarded pursuant to Treas. Reg (j)? Tribune filed for bankruptcy on December 8, 2008 Generally, Tribune's obligation should be respected so long as Tribune did not know its bankruptcy was imminent at the time it entered into the indemnification agreement 58
59 59 Guarantee in Bankruptcy, cont. At the time of the Cubs sale, Tribune was in bankruptcy Tribune guaranteed repayment of debt of Newco, LLC Only provided a guarantee of collection, which requires exhaustion of all lender remedies against Newco, all other guarantors, and all collateral before Tribune is required to perform on its guarantee Should Tribune's guarantee be disregarded? See CCA (Aug. 8, 2002) (discussed above) 59

62 Zombie Partnership IRS Partnership Audit Technique Guide, Chapter 8 Real Estate Issues in Partnerships Partnerships which are no longer actively engaged in business but which still wander aimlessly about shedding tax benefits or postponing gain are called Zombie Partnerships. 62
63 Zombie Characteristics Zombie partnership traits: Debt Partners have negative capital accounts Little or no assets or economic activity Asset may have been disposed while debt remains on books (attempt to defer Tufts gain) Or, interest accruals and depreciation exceed rental income; principal of debt plus accrued interest exceed value of underlying property 63
64 COD Income vs Tufts Gain Depending on circumstances, TP could benefit from either NR or recourse characterization If TP has a capital loss CF favor NR and Tufts gain IF TP is insolvent favor recourse characterization and corresponding (excludable) COD income Will 11 th hour guarantee work? IRS scrutinizes reporting of COD income vs Tufts gain 64
65 Audit Technique Guide Analyze all loan documents to determine whether loan was non-recourse or recourse. If the loan is determined to be non-recourse, analyze all sales documents to determine whether there were two transactions or one interrelated transaction. If it is determined that there was one transaction, then the full amount of non-recourse debt should be treated as sales proceeds. If inspection of the partnership return indicates that COD income was reported, property decreased on the balance sheet, and a loss/very small gain/ or no gain on sale of partnership property was reported, determine whether partnership properly reported transaction. If a guarantee of non-recourse debt was made at the eleventh hour, it may not change the status of the loan from non-recourse to recourse. For example, if the guarantee provides that a partner must repay the loan only if he fights the foreclosure sale, this would be considered a contingent guarantee and would not change the loan from non-recourse to recourse. If you have an 11th hour guarantee issue, call a Partnership Technical Advisor. 65
66 Abandonment of Interest Section 165(a) Allows a deduction for loss sustained during year Section 165(f) Losses from sale/exchange of capital asset not governed by general rule of Section 165(a) Section 741 Partnership interest is a capital asset Section 752(b) Decrease in share of pship liabilities = distribution 66
67 Abandonment Rev. Rul If partnership liabilities are allocated to abandoning partner: 752(b) treats reduction in liabilities as a distribution, resulting in sale of a capital asset Accordingly, resulting loss is loss from the sale or exchange of a capital asset capital loss This treatment applies even if liabilities allocated to abandoning partner are de minimis 67
68 Abandonment Rev. Rul If no liabilities allocated to abandoning partner: No deemed distribution and thus no sale Resulting loss is thus ordinary under 165(a) General partners will have difficulty establishing ordinary loss But see In re Kreidle, 146 B.R. 464 (general partner remained liable for liability; thus, no 752 distribution) Planning with non-participating preferred partners No liabilities allocated limit tier three allocations to nonpreferred partners 68
69 Establishing Abandonment Partner must prove that: He intended to abandon his interest He undertook an affirmative act of abandonment Intent and affirmative act are communicated to all relevant parties A letter to partnership indicating intent to abandon and refusal to contribute or otherwise associate should suffice 69
