Under Code Sec. 6050K, partnerships must file Form 8308, Report of a Sale or Exchange of Certain Partnership Interests, for transfers involving Code Sec. 751(a) property. The IRS and Treasury Department received comments that many partnerships could not determine the information required for Part IV of Form 8308 by the January 31 furnishing deadline. As a result, the final regulations remove Reg. §1.6050K-1(c)(2) and revise Reg. §1.6050K-1(c)(1) to permit partnerships to furnish Form 8308 completed in accordance with the form instructions.
Although partnerships are no longer required to furnish Part IV information to transferors and transferees by January 31, they must still file a completed Form 8308, including Part IV, with Form 1065. The IRS finalized the regulations without substantive changes from the proposed regulations issued in 2025.
