What is Centralized partnership audit regime?
In short
Under the centralized partnership audit regime, the Internal Revenue Service audits partnerships at the partnership level and generally assesses and collects any imputed underpayment from the partnership itself in the year the audit ends.
Key takeaways
- A partnership representative has sole authority to act for the partnership.
- The partnership can instead push the adjustments out to the partners from the year under audit.
- Partnerships with 100 or fewer eligible partners can elect out each year.
