the information, statements, and schedules required for  
each category of filer. If you qualify under more than one  
category for a particular foreign partnership, you must  
submit all the items required for each category under  
which you qualify.  
Example. If you qualify as a Category 2 and a  
Category 3 filer, you must submit all the schedules  
required of Category 2 filers (page 1 of Form 8865, and  
Schedules A, A-2, N, K-1, and K-3) plus any additional  
schedules that Category 3 filers are required to submit  
(Schedules A-1 and O).  
Complete a separate Form 8865 and the applicable  
schedules for each foreign partnership.  
File the 2023 Form 8865 with your income tax return for  
your tax year beginning in 2023.  
If a Form 8832, Entity Classification Election, was filed  
for this entity for the current tax year, see When To File  
and Where To File in the instructions for Form 8832 to  
determine if you are required to attach a copy of the Form  
8832 to the tax return to which the Form 8865 is being  
attached.  
If a domestic section 721(c) partnership is formed on or  
after January 18, 2017, and the gain deferral method is  
applied, then a U.S. transferor must file Form 8865 for that  
partnership. See Regulations section 1.721(c)-6(b)(4).  
and U.S. transferor, later.  
A U.S. transferor that is required to provide information

8865 (along with all necessary schedules and  
attachments) for each partnership treated as a U.S.  
transferor under Regulations sections 1.721(c)-3(d) and  
1.721(c)-6(c)(2). See U.S. transferor, later.

Instructions for Form 8865 (2023)  
   
tax year, no person will be considered a Category 2 filer.  
Categories of Filers  
See the definition of a 10% interest, later.  
Category 1 filer. A Category 1 filer is a U.S. person who  
controlled the foreign partnership at any time during the  
partnership's tax year. Control of a partnership is  
ownership of more than a 50% interest in the partnership.  
See the definition of 50% interest, later. There may be  
more than one Category 1 filer for a partnership for a  
particular partnership tax year. See U.S. person and  
A Category 1 filer also includes a U.S. transferor who  
must report certain information for a section 721(c)  
partnership for the tax year of contribution and  
subsequent years, pursuant to Regulations section  
1.721(c)-6. A Category 1 filer fulfills this reporting  
requirement by filing Schedule G and, in certain  
circumstances, Schedule H. See Section 721(c)  
Category 3 filer. A Category 3 filer is a U.S. person who  
contributed property during that person's tax year to a  
foreign partnership in exchange for an interest in the  
partnership (a section 721 transfer), if that person either:  
1. Owned directly or constructively at least a 10%  
interest in the foreign partnership immediately after the  
contribution, or  
2. The value of the property contributed (when added  
to the value of any other property contributed to the  
partnership by such person, or any related person, during  
the 12-month period ending on the date of transfer)  
exceeds $100,000.  
If a domestic partnership contributes property to a  
foreign partnership, the domestic partnership's partners  
are considered to have transferred a proportionate share  
of the contributed property to the foreign partnership.  
However, if the domestic partnership files Form 8865 and  
properly reports all the required information for the  
contribution, its partners will not be required to report the  
transfer.  
Category 2 filer. A Category 2 filer is a U.S. person who  
at any time during the tax year of the foreign partnership  
owned a 10% or greater interest in the partnership while  
the partnership was controlled by U.S. persons each  
owning at least a 10% interest. However, if the foreign  
partnership had a Category 1 filer at any time during that  
A Category 3 filer includes a U.S. transferor who (a)  
contributes section 721(c) property to a section 721(c)

partnership, and (b) has reporting requirements pursuant  
to Regulations section 1.721(c)-6(b)(2). The Category 3  
filer fulfills this reporting requirement by filing Schedule G,  
in addition to Schedule O, and, in certain circumstances,  
Schedule H. See Section 721(c) property, later.  
Category 3 also includes a U.S. person that previously  
transferred appreciated property to the partnership and  
was required to report that transfer under section 6038B, if  
the foreign partnership disposed of such property while  
the U.S. person remained a direct or indirect partner in the  
partnership.  
Category 4 filer. A Category 4 filer is a U.S. person that  
had a reportable event under section 6046A during that  
person's tax year. There are three categories of reportable  
events under section 6046A: acquisitions, dispositions,  
and changes in proportional interests.  
Acquisitions. A U.S. person that acquires a foreign  
partnership interest has a reportable event if:  
has increased or decreased by at least the equivalent of a  
10% interest in the partnership.  
Special rule for a partnership interest owned on  
December 31, 1999. If the U.S. person owned at least a  
10% direct interest in the foreign partnership on  
December 31,1999, then comparisons should be made to  
the person's direct interest on December 31,1999. Once  
the person has a reportable event after December  
31,1999, future comparisons should be made by  
reference to the last reportable event.  
Exceptions to Filing  
Multiple Category 1 filers. If during the tax year of the  
partnership more than one U.S. person qualifies as a  
Category 1 filer, only one of these Category 1 partners is  
required to file Form 8865. A U.S. person with a controlling  
interest in the losses or deductions of the partnership isn’t  
permitted to be the filer of Form 8865 if another U.S.  
person has a controlling interest in capital or profits; only  
the latter may file the return. The U.S. person that files the  
Form 8865 must complete item F on page 1.  
The single Form 8865 to be filed must contain all of the  
information that would be required if each Category 1 filer  
filed a separate Form 8865. Specifically, separate  
Schedules N, K-1, and K-3 (if applicable) must be  
attached to the Form 8865 for each Category 1 filer. Also,  
items B, C, and D on page 1 and Schedule A on page 2 of  
Form 8865 must be completed for each Category 1 filer  
not filing the form. Attach a separate statement listing this  
information to the single Form 8865.  
The person didn’t own a 10% or greater direct interest  
in the partnership and, as a result of the acquisition, the  
person owns a 10% or greater direct interest in the  
partnership (for example, from 9% to 10%). For purposes  
of this rule, an acquisition includes an increase in a  
person's direct proportional interest (see Changes in  
proportional interests, later); or  
Compared to the person's direct interest when the  
person last had a reportable event, after the acquisition  
the person's direct interest has increased by at least a  
10% interest (for example, from 11% to 21%).  
An acquisition of a section 721(c) partnership interest may  
be an acceleration event exception under the gain deferral  
method. See Regulations section 1.721(c)-5. In this case,  
the acquirer may become a successor U.S. transferor and  
may have a reporting requirement under Regulations  
section 1.721(c)-6. See the specific instructions for  
Schedule H, later.  
A Category 1 filer not filing Form 8865 must attach a  
statement entitled “Controlled Foreign Partnership  
Reporting” to that person's income tax return.  
The statement must include the following information.  
A statement that the person qualified as a Category 1  
filer, but is not submitting Form 8865 under the multiple  
Category 1 filers exception.  
Dispositions. A U.S. person that disposes of a foreign  
partnership interest has a reportable event if:  
The name, address, and identifying number (if any) of  
The person owned a 10% or greater direct interest in  
the foreign partnership of which the person qualified as a  
Category 1 filer.  
the partnership before the disposition and, as a result of  
the disposition, the person owns less than a 10% direct  
interest (for example, from 10% to 8%). For purposes of  
this rule, a disposition includes a decrease in a person's  
direct proportional interest; or  
A statement that the filing requirement has been or will  
be satisfied.  
The name and address of the person filing Form 8865  
for this partnership.  
Compared to the person's direct interest when the  
The Internal Revenue Service Center where the Form  
person last had a reportable event, after the disposition  
the person's direct interest has decreased by at least a  
10% interest (for example, from 21% to 11%).  
8865 must be filed (or indicate “electronic filing” if the  
Form 8865 has been or will be filed electronically).  
A U.S. person who qualifies for this exception to  
A disposition of a section 721(c) partnership interest  
may be an acceleration event for purposes of applying the  
gain deferral method. The U.S. transferor may be required  
to recognize gain in an amount equal to the remaining  
built-in gain on the section 721(c) property previously  
contributed to the section 721(c) partnership. See  
Regulations section 1.721(c)-4. For acceleration events  
exceptions, see Regulations section 1.721(c)-5. See the  
specific instructions for Schedule H, later.  
Changes in proportional interests. A U.S. person  
has a reportable event if compared to the person's direct  
proportional interest the last time the person had a  
reportable event, the person's direct proportional interest  
the Category 1 filing requirement would still have  
!
CAUTION  
to file a separate Form 8865 if that person is also  
subject to the filing requirements of Category 3 or 4. This  
separate Form 8865 would include all the information  
required for a Category 3 filer, a Category 4 filer, or a U.S.  
transferor who must report certain information for a  
section 721(c) partnership for the year of contribution and  
subsequent years, pursuant to Regulations section  
1.721(c)-6, in addition to the “Controlled Foreign  
Partnership Reporting” statement.  
Constructive owners. See Constructive ownership,  
later. A Category 1 or 2 filer that doesn’t own a direct  
interest in the partnership and that is required to file this

Instructions for Form 8865 (2023)  
             
form solely because of constructive ownership from a U.S.  
person(s) isn’t required to file Form 8865 if:  
1. Form 8865 is filed by the U.S. person(s) through  
which the indirect partner constructively owns an interest  
in the foreign partnership,  
2. The U.S. person through which the indirect partner  
constructively owns an interest in the foreign partnership  
is also a constructive owner and meets all the  
requirements of this constructive ownership filing  
exception, or  
3. Form 8865 is filed for the foreign partnership by  
another Category 1 filer under the multiple Category 1  
filers exception.  
Example. Partner A doesn’t own an interest in FPS, a  
foreign partnership. Partner A transfers property to FPS in  
exchange for a 15% direct interest. Partner A qualifies as  
a Category 3 filer because he transferred property to a  
foreign partnership and owned at least a 10% interest in  
FPS immediately after the contribution. Partner A is also a  
Category 4 filer because he didn’t own a 10% or greater  
direct interest in FPS and as a result of the acquisition now  
owns a 10% or greater direct interest in FPS. If Partner A  
properly reports the contribution on Form 8865 as a  
Category 3 filer, Partner A isn’t required to report his  
acquisition of the 15% interest in FPS as a Category 4  
filer.  
Relief for Category 1 and 2 Filers When the  
Foreign Partnership Files Form 1065  
If a foreign partnership files Form 1065 for its tax year,  
Category 1 and 2 filers may use a copy of the completed  
Form 1065 schedules in place of the equivalent schedules  
of Form 8865.  
If you file Form 8865 with an electronically filed income  
tax return, see the electronic filing publications identified  
in the instructions for your income tax return for more  
information.  
See the first paragraph under General Instructions,  
earlier, for the Form 1065 schedules that are equivalent to  
the Form 8865 schedules.  
To qualify for the constructive ownership filing  
exception, the indirect partner must file with its income tax  
return a statement entitled “Controlled Foreign Partnership  
Reporting.”  
This statement must contain the following information.  
1. A statement that the indirect partner was required to  
file Form 8865, but isn’t doing so under the constructive  
owners exception.  
2. The names and addresses of the U.S. persons  
whose interests the indirect partner constructively owns.  
3. The name and address of the foreign partnership for  
which the indirect partner would have had to have filed  
Form 8865 but for this exception.  
Example. Partner A is a Category 1 filer with respect  
to FPS, a foreign partnership, during the 2023 tax year.  
FPS completes and files a Form 1065 for its 2023 tax year.  
Instead of completing Schedules B, K, K-2, L, M-1, M-2,  
K-1 and K-3 of Form 8865, Partner A may attach to its  
Form 8865 page 1 of Form 1065 and Form 1065  
Schedules K, K-2, L, M-1, M-2, K-1 and K-3 (including the  
Schedules K-1 and K-3 for Partner A and all other U.S.  
persons owning 10% or greater direct interests in FPS).  
Partner A must complete the following items and  
schedules on Form 8865.  
4. If the indirect partner is a domestic corporation, a  
statement setting forth all the information that the indirect  
partner would have had to provide in response to  
questions G8a and G8b on Form 8865. See Item H10.  
Separate Units Note, later, for more information.  
Members of an affiliated group of corporations filing  
a consolidated return. If one or more members of an  
affiliated group of corporations filing a consolidated return  
qualify as Category 1 or 2 filers for a particular foreign  
partnership, the common parent corporation may file one  
Form 8865 on behalf of all of the members of the group  
required to report. Except for group members who also  
qualify under the constructive owners exception, the Form  
8865 must contain all the information that would have  
been required to be submitted if each group member filed  
its own Form 8865.  
Exception for certain trusts. Trusts relating to state and  
local government employee retirement plans that  
otherwise would have Forms 8865 reporting requirements  
with regard to foreign partnerships aren’t required to file  
Form 8865.  
Exception for certain Category 4 filers. If you qualify  
as a Category 3 and 4 filer because you contributed  
property to a foreign partnership in exchange for a 10% or  
greater interest in that partnership, you aren’t required to  
report this transaction under both Category 3 and 4 filing  
requirements. If you properly report the contribution of  
property under the Category 3 rules, you aren’t required to  
report it as a Category 4 filer. However, the acquisition will  
count as a reportable event to determine if a later change  
in your partnership interest qualifies as a reportable event  
under Category 4.

file both by the due date (including extensions) for that  
return. If you don’t have to file an income tax return, you  
must file Form 8865 separately with the IRS at the time  
and place you would be required to file an income tax  
return (or, if applicable, a partnership or exempt  
organization return). See below for penalties that may  
apply if you don’t file Form 8865 on time.  
Gain deferral method. The gain deferral method is the  
method described in Regulations section 1.721(c)-3(b)  
applied to avoid the immediate recognition of gain upon a  
contribution of section 721(c) property to a section 721(c)  
partnership under Regulations section 1.721(c)-2(b).  
50% interest. A 50% interest in a partnership is an  
interest equal to:  
50% of the capital,  
Definitions  
50% of the profits, or  
Partnership. A partnership is the relationship between  
two or more persons who join to carry on a trade or  
business, with each person contributing money, property,  
labor, or skill and each expecting to share in the profits  
and losses of the business whether or not a formal  
partnership agreement is made.  
50% of the deductions or losses.  
For purposes of determining a 50% interest, the  
constructive ownership rules described below apply.  
10% interest. A 10% interest in a partnership is an  
interest equal to:  
10% of the capital,  
The term “partnership” includes a limited partnership,  
10% of the profits, or  
syndicate, group, pool, joint venture, or other  
10% of the deductions or losses.  
unincorporated organization, through or by which any  
business, financial operation, or venture is carried on, that  
isn’t, within the meaning of the regulations under section  
7701, a corporation, trust, estate, or sole proprietorship.  
For purposes of determining a 10% interest, the  
constructive ownership rules described below apply.  
Constructive ownership. For purposes of determining  
an interest in a partnership, the constructive ownership  
rules of section 267(c) (excluding section 267(c)(3)) apply,  
taking into account that such rules refer to corporations  
and not to partnerships. Generally, an interest owned  
directly or indirectly by or for a corporation, partnership,  
estate, or trust shall be considered as being owned  
proportionately by its owners, partners, or beneficiaries.  
Also, an individual is considered to own an interest  
owned directly or indirectly by or for their family. The family  
of an individual includes only that individual's spouse,  
siblings, ancestors, and lineal descendants. An interest  
will be attributed from a nonresident alien individual under  
the family attribution rules only if the person to whom the  
interest is attributed owns a direct or indirect interest in the  
foreign partnership under section 267(c)(1) or (5).  
A joint undertaking merely to share expenses isn’t a  
partnership. Mere co-ownership of property that is  
maintained and leased or rented isn’t a partnership.  
However, if the co-owners provide services to the tenants,  
a partnership exists.  
Foreign partnership. A foreign partnership is a  
partnership that isn’t created or organized in the United  
States or under the law of the United States or of any state  
or the District of Columbia. If a domestic section 721(c)  
partnership is formed on or after January 18, 2017, and  
the gain deferral method is applied, then the section  
721(c) partnership is treated as a foreign partnership for  
purposes of Form 8865 and these instructions. See  
Regulations section 1.721(c)-6(b)(4).  
Section 721(c) partnership. A partnership (domestic or  
foreign) is a section 721(c) partnership if there is a  
contribution of section 721(c) property to the partnership  
and, after the contribution (and all transactions related to  
the contribution), (a) a related foreign person with respect  
to the U.S. transferor is a direct or indirect partner in the  
partnership; and (b) the U.S. transferor and related  
persons own 80% or more of the interests in partnership  
capital, profits, deductions, or losses. See Regulations  
section 1.721(c)-1(b)(14).  
U.S. transferor. A U.S. transferor is a U.S. person other  
than a domestic partnership. See Regulations section  
1.721(c)-1(b)(18).  
Section 721(c) property. Section 721(c) property is  
property (other than excluded property) with built-in gain  
that is contributed to a partnership by a U.S. transferor,  
including pursuant to a contribution described in  
Regulations section 1.721(c)-2(d) (partnership  
look-through rule). See Regulations section 1.721(c)-1(b)  
(15).  
U.S. person. A U.S. person is a citizen or resident of the  
United States, a domestic partnership, a domestic  
corporation, and any estate or trust that isn’t foreign. See  
section 7701(a)(30).  
Control of a corporation. For purposes of Schedule N,  
control of a corporation is ownership of stock possessing  
more than 50% of the total combined voting power, or  
more than 50% of the total value of shares of all classes of  
stock of the corporation. For rules concerning indirect  
ownership and attribution, see Regulations section  
1.6038-2(c).  
Change in a proportional interest. A partner's  
proportional interest in a foreign partnership can change  
as a result of changes in other partners' interests, for  
example, when another partner withdraws from the  
partnership. A partner's proportional interest can also  
change, for example, by operation of the partnership  
agreement (for example, if the partnership agreement  
provides that a partner's interest in profits will change on a  
set date or when the partnership has earned a specified  
amount of profits, then the partner's proportional interest  
changes when the set date or specified amount of profits  
is reached).  
Gain deferral contribution. A gain deferral contribution  
is a contribution of section 721(c) property to a section  
721(c) partnership for which the recognition of gain is  
deferred under the gain deferral method. See Regulations  
section 1.721(c)-1(b)(7).

Revenue Code, and  
foreign partnership for failure to furnish the required  
information within the time prescribed. If the information  
isn’t filed within 90 days after the IRS has mailed a notice  
of the failure to the U.S. person, an additional $10,000  
penalty (per foreign partnership) is charged for each  
30-day period, or fraction thereof, during which the failure

penalty ($10,000 in the case of a C corporation). See  
section 6712.  
Section 6662(j). Penalties may be imposed for  
underpayment attributable to undisclosed foreign financial  
asset understatements. The term “undisclosed foreign  
financial asset” for any tax year includes any asset for  
which required information was not provided. An  
"undisclosed foreign financial asset understatement"  
means for any tax year, the portion of the understatement  
for that tax year which is attributable to any transaction  
involving an undisclosed foreign financial asset. No  
penalty will be imposed for any portion of an  
Any person who fails to furnish all of the information  
required within the time prescribed will be subject to a  
reduction of 10% of the foreign taxes available for credit  
under sections 901 and 960. If the failure continues 90  
days or more after the date the IRS mails notice of the  
failure, an additional 5% reduction is made for each  
3-month period, or fraction thereof, during which the  
failure continues after the 90-day period has expired. See  
section 6038 (and the underlying regulations) for the  
maximum reduction, the exception due to reasonable  
cause, and the limits on the amount of these penalties.

failure to comply was due to reasonable cause for such  
portion of the underpayment and the taxpayer acted in  
good faith for such portion of the underpayment. See  
sections 6662(j) and 6664(c) for additional information.  
Criminal penalties under sections 7203, 7206, and  
7207 may apply for failure to file or for filing false or  
fraudulent information.  
Failure to comply with a requirement of the gain de-  
ferral method. Failure to comply with a requirement of  
the gain deferral method, including a failure to comply with  
the procedural and reporting requirements imposed under  
Regulations sections 1.721(c)-3 and 1.721(c)-6 and  
section 6038B, may result in an acceleration event under  
Regulations section 1.721(c)-4(b)(2) and a penalty under  
section 6038B. See the specific instructions for  
Additionally, any person that files under the constructive  
owners exception may be subject to these penalties if all  
the requirements of the exception aren’t met. Any person  
required to file Form 8865 who doesn’t file under the  
multiple Category 1 filers exception may be subject to the  
above penalties if the other person doesn’t file a correctly  
completed form and schedules. See Exceptions to Filing,  
earlier.  
Failure to file information required of Category 3 fil-  
ers. Any person that fails to properly report a contribution  
to a foreign partnership that is required to be reported  
under section 6038B and the regulations under that  
section is subject to a penalty equal to 10% of the fair  
market value (FMV) of the property at the time of the  
contribution. This penalty is subject to a $100,000 limit,  
unless the failure is due to intentional disregard. In  
addition, the transferor must recognize gain on the  
contribution as if the contributed property had been sold  
for its FMV. See section 6038B for the exception due to  
reasonable cause.

$10,000 penalty, in addition to the section 7203 criminal  
penalty, unless it is shown that such failure is due to  
reasonable cause. If the failure continues for more than 90  
days after the IRS mails notice of the failure, an additional  
$10,000 penalty will apply for each 30-day period (or  
fraction thereof) during which the failure continues after  
the 90-day period has expired. The additional penalty  
shall not exceed $50,000.

order. Follow the foreign country's practice in placing the  
postal code in the address. Don’t abbreviate the country  
name. If the partnership receives its mail in care of a third  
party (such as an accountant or attorney), enter “C/O”  
followed by the third party's name and street address or  
P.O. box.  
Item A. Category of Filer  
Check the box for each category that describes the  
person filing the form. If more than one category applies,  
check all boxes that apply. See Categories of Filers,  
earlier.  
Item G2(a)  
If the foreign partnership has an EIN, enter it here. Don’t  
enter “FOREIGNUS” or “APPLIED FOR.If the partnership  
has no EIN, item G2(b) must be completed.  
Item C  
Item G2(b)  
Enter the filer's share of nonrecourse liabilities,  
partnership-level qualified nonrecourse financing, and  
other liabilities. Nonrecourse liabilities are those liabilities  
of the partnership for which no partner bears the  
economic risk of loss. The extent to which a partner bears  
the economic risk is determined under the rules of  
Regulations section 1.752-2.  
A reference ID number (defined below) is required on item  
G2(b) only in cases where no EIN was entered on item  
G2(a) for the foreign partnership. However, filers are  
permitted to enter both an EIN on item G2(a) and a  
reference ID number on item G2(b). If applicable, enter  
the reference ID number you have assigned to the foreign  
partnership identified on item G1.  
"Qualified nonrecourse financing" generally includes  
financing:  
A “reference ID number” is a number established by or  
on behalf of the U.S. person identified at the top of page 1  
of the form that is assigned to a foreign partnership for  
which Form 8865 reporting is required. These numbers  
are used to uniquely identify the foreign partnership in  
order to keep track of the partnership from tax year to tax  
year.  
For which no one is personally liable for repayment;  
That is borrowed for use in an activity of holding real  
property; and  
That is borrowed from a qualified person (defined in  
section 49(a)(1)(D)(iv)) or is lent or guaranteed by a  
federal, state, or local government.  
The reference ID number must meet the requirements  
below. Don’t enter “FOREIGNUS” or “APPLIED FOR” with  
respect to the reference ID number.  
See section 465(b)(6) for more information on qualified  
nonrecourse financing.  
Item D. Identification of Common Parent  
If the person filing the form is a member of a consolidated  
group, but not the parent, list the name, address, and EIN  
of the filer's common parent.  
Note. Because reference ID numbers are established by  
or on behalf of the U.S. person filing Form 8865, there is  
no need to apply to the IRS to request a reference ID  
number or for permission to use these numbers.  
Item E  
Note. Generally, the reference ID number assigned to a  
foreign partnership on Form 8865 has relevance only on  
Form 8865, its schedules, and any other form that is

attached to or associated with Form 8865, and should not  
be used for that foreign partnership on other IRS forms.  
However, the foreign partnership's reference ID number  
should also be entered on Form 8858, Information Return  
of U.S. Persons With Respect to Foreign Disregarded  
Entities, if the foreign partnership is listed as a tax owner  
of a foreign disregarded entity on Form 8858. See the  
instructions for Form 8858, line 3c(2), for more  
information.  
Item G6. Principal Business Activity Code  
If the foreign partnership filed Form 1065. Enter the  
business code number (principal business activity code)  
shown in item C of the Form 1065 filed by the partnership.  
If the foreign partnership did not file Form 1065.  
Enter the applicable principal business activity code from  
Product or Service at the end of these instructions. If the  
information necessary to apply the total receipts test is not  
available, pick a principal business activity code using the  
information you have about the partnership.  
Requirements  
The reference ID number that is entered on item G2(b)  
must be alphanumeric (defined below) and no special  
characters or spaces are permitted. The length of a given  
reference ID number is limited to 50 characters.  
Item G8a. Functional Currency  
Enter the foreign partnership's functional currency. See  
sections 985 through 989 and the regulations thereunder.  
If the partnership had more than one qualified business  
unit (QBU), described in Regulations section  
For these purposes, the term “alphanumeric” means  
the entry can be alphabetical, numeric, or any  
combination of the two.  
1.989(a)-1(b)(2)(ii), attach a statement identifying each  
QBU, its country of operation, and its functional currency.  
A QBU under Regulations section 1.989(a)-1(b)(2)(ii) is  
any separate and clearly identified unit of a trade or  
business of the partnership which maintains separate  
books and records.  
The same reference ID number must be used  
consistently from tax year to tax year for a given foreign  
partnership. If for any reason a reference ID number falls  
out of use (for example, the foreign partnership no longer  
exists due to disposition or liquidation), the reference ID  
number used for that foreign partnership cannot be used  
again for another foreign partnership for purposes of Form  
8865 reporting.  
Hyperinflationary exception. A partnership that has a  
hyperinflationary currency as its functional currency is  
subject to special rules set forth in Regulations section  
1.985-3. Generally, under these rules, a partnership must  
use the U.S. dollar as its functional currency.  
There are some situations that warrant correlation of a  
new reference ID number with a previous reference ID  
number when assigning a new reference ID number to a  
foreign partnership. For example:  
Item G8b. Exchange Rate  
When translating functional currency to U.S. dollars, you  
must use the method specified in sections 985 through  
989 and the regulations thereunder. But, regardless of the  
specific method required, all exchange rates must be  
reported using a “divide-by convention” rounded to at  
least four places. That is, the exchange rate must be  
reported in terms of the amount by which the functional  
currency amount must be divided in order to reflect an  
equivalent amount of U.S. dollars. As such, the exchange  
rate must be reported as the units of foreign currency that  
equal one U.S. dollar, rounded to at least four places.  
Don’t report the exchange rate as the number of U.S.  
dollars that equals one unit of foreign currency.  
In the case of a merger or acquisition, a Form 8865 filer  
must use a reference ID number which correlates the  
previous reference ID number with the new reference ID  
number assigned to the foreign partnership; or  
In the case of an entity classification election that is  
made on behalf of the foreign partnership on Form 8832,  
Regulations section 301.6109-1(b)(2)(v) requires the  
foreign partnership to have an EIN for this election. For the  
first year that Form 8865 is filed after an entity  
classification election is made on behalf of the foreign  
partnership on Form 8832, the new EIN must be entered  
on item G2(a) of Form 8865 and the old reference ID  
number must be entered on item G2(b). In subsequent  
years, the filer may continue to enter both the EIN on item  
G2(a) and the reference ID number on item G2(b), but  
must enter at least the EIN on item G2(a).  
You must correlate the reference ID numbers as  
follows: New reference ID number (space) Old reference  
ID number. If there is more than one old reference ID  
number, you must enter a space between each such  
number. As indicated above, the length of a given  
reference ID number is limited to 50 characters and each  
number must be alphanumeric and no special characters  
are permitted.  
Note. You must round the result to more than four places  
if failure to do so would materially distort the exchange  
rate or the equivalent amount of U.S. dollars.  
Item H2  
If the foreign partnership was required to file Form 1065  
for the partnership's tax year listed at the top of page 1 of  
Form 8865, check the applicable box and enter the  
Internal Revenue Service Center where the form was or  
will be filed (or enter “electronic filing” if the form was or  
will be filed electronically). Also, check the applicable  
box(es) if the foreign partnership was required to file (for  
its tax year) Form 8804, Annual Return for Partnership  
Withholding Tax (Section 1446); or (for the calendar year  
ending with or within the foreign partnership's tax year)  
Form 1042, Annual Withholding Tax Return for U.S.  
Source Income of Foreign Persons.  
Note. This correlation requirement applies only to the first  
year the new reference ID number is used.

the following Schedule on  
Form 8858...  
THEN take those amounts into  
account (converting from  
GAAP to tax as necessary)  
when determining the amounts  
to be reported on this  
Section 267A disallows a deduction for certain interest or  
royalty paid or accrued in agreement with a hybrid  
arrangement, to the extent that, under the foreign tax law,  
there isn’t a corresponding income inclusion (including  
long-term deferral). In the case of a filer that is a tax  
resident of the United States (for example, a domestic  
corporation or citizen of the United States), report in item  
H5 the total amount of interest and royalty paid or accrued  
by the foreign partnership for which your distributive share  
of deductions is disallowed under section 267A. In the  
case of a filer that isn’t a tax resident of the United States  
(for example, a domestic partnership), only report in item  
H5 the portion of your distributive share of interest and  
royalty paid or accrued by the foreign partnership for  
which you know, or have reason to know, that one or more  
of your owners aren’t allowed a deduction under section  
267A. For additional information about section 267A,

Item H10. Separate Units  
Note. Only Category 1 filers (or indirect partners that are  
filing the constructive ownership exception statement) are  
required to answer items H10a and H10b, if applicable.  
Answer "Yes" to item H10a if the filer is a domestic  
corporation and (a) the partnership is a hybrid entity; or (b)  
the filer, through its interest in the partnership, indirectly  
owns an interest in a hybrid entity or indirectly carries on a  
business operation outside the United States that, if  
carried on by a U.S. person, would constitute a foreign  
branch (as defined in Regulations section 1.367(a)-6T(g)  
(1)). Under Regulations section 1.1503(d)-1(b)(3), a  
hybrid entity means an entity that isn’t taxable as an  
association for U.S. federal tax purposes, but is subject to  
an income tax of a foreign country as a corporation (or  
otherwise at the entity level) either on its worldwide  
income or on a residence basis. If the answer to item  
H10a is "No," skip item H10b.  
Item H6  
Answer “Yes” to item H6 if the partnership is a section  
721(c) partnership. If the answer is “Yes,see the specific

the contribution of property during the tax year. See  
Item H8  
See Regulations section 1.1503(d)-1(b)(4) for more  
information on separate units, including information on  
when two or more individual separate units are combined  
and treated as one separate unit. If you answer “Yes” to  
item H10b, then, for each separate unit that has a dual  
consolidated loss, attach a statement that sets forth (a)  
the identity and country of operation of the separate unit  
or, in the case of a combined separate unit, the identity  
and country of operation of each individual separate unit  
that is treated as part of the combined separate unit; and  
(b) the amount of the dual consolidated loss. See  
Regulations section 1.1503(d)-5 for rules on determining  
the amount of a dual consolidated loss attributable to a  
separate unit.  
Note. Only Category 1 and 2 filers are required to  
complete item H8.  
Enter the number of Forms 8858 attached to Form  
8865. A disregarded entity is an entity that is disregarded  
as an entity separate from its owner under Regulations  
section 301.7701-2(c)(2). The partnership is the tax owner  
of the foreign disregarded entity if it is treated as owning  
the assets and liabilities of the foreign disregarded entity  
for purposes of U.S. income tax law.  
If the foreign partnership is the tax owner of a foreign  
disregarded entity or operates a foreign branch and you  
are a Category 1 or 2 filer of Form 8865, complete and  
attach Form 8858 to Form 8865. For more information,  
see the Instructions for Form 8858. In addition, if the  
foreign partnership is required to attach Form 8858 to  
Form 8865, the amounts reported on certain schedules on  
Form 8858 must be included in determining the amounts  
reported on the equivalent schedules as follows.  
Item H11  
Note. Only Category 1 filers are required to answer item  
H11.  
Answer “Yes” to item H11 if the partnership meets both  
of the requirements shown on the form. Total receipts is  
defined as the sum of gross receipts or sales (Schedule B,  
line 1a); all other income reported on Schedule B (lines 4  
through 7); income reported on Schedule K, lines 3a, 5,  
6a, and 7; income or net gain reported on Schedule K,  
lines 8, 9a, 10, and 11; and income or net gain reported  
on Form 8825, Rental Real Estate Income and Expenses  
of a Partnership or an S Corporation, lines 2, 19, and 20a.

H12d, translated from functional currency at the average  
exchange rate for the foreign partnership's tax year (see  
section 989(b)).  
Category 3 filers. Category 3 filers must list the persons  
(U.S. and foreign) whose interests in the foreign  
partnership they constructively owned during the filer's tax  
year that the reportable transfer occurred. See  
Partnership, later.  
The reported amounts should provide information for  
transactions between the filer of the Form 8865 and the  
foreign partnership. See Form 8993 and its instructions for  
information on the section 250 deduction. If no deduction  
is being claimed, check the “No” box.  
Schedule A-1. Certain Partners of  
Foreign Partnership  
All Category 1 and certain Category 3 filers must  
complete Schedule A-1. Any person already listed on  
Schedule A isn’t required to be listed again on  
Schedule A-1.  
Item H14  
Answer “Yes” if at any time during the year there were  
transfers between the partnership and its partners subject  
to the disclosure requirements of Regulations section  
1.707-8. For certain transfers that are presumed to be  
sales, the partnership or the partners must comply with  
the disclosure requirements in Regulations section  
1.707-8. Generally, disclosure is required when:  
Category 1 filers. Category 1 filers must list all U.S.  
persons who owned at least a 10% direct interest in the  
foreign partnership during the partnership's tax year listed  
at the top of page 1 of Form 8865.  
Category 3 filers. Category 3 filers must list:  
Each U.S. person that owned a 10% or greater direct

of the earlier of (a) a written agreement to transfer, or (b) a  
transfer of the property that secures the debt, if the debt is  
treated as a qualified liability; or  
interest in the foreign partnership during the Category 3  
filer's tax year, and  
Any other person related to the Category 3 filer that was

Schedule A-3. Affiliation Schedule  
Schedule G (Form 8865). Statement  
of Application of the Gain Deferral  
Method Under Section 721(c)  
All filers must complete Schedule A-3. List on  
Schedule A-3 all partnerships (foreign or domestic) in  
which the foreign partnership owned a direct interest, or a  
10% indirect interest (under the rules of sections 267(c)(1)  
and (5)) during the partnership tax year listed at the top of  
page 1 of Form 8865.  
A U.S. transferor uses Schedule G to comply with the  
reporting requirements that must be satisfied in applying  
the gain deferral method. If the gain deferral method is  
applied to section 721(c) property, a U.S. transferor must  
file Schedule G for the tax year of a gain deferral  
contribution, as well as for each subsequent tax year to  
which the gain deferral method is applied to section  
721(c) property, even if the gain deferral contribution for  
that property occurred before 2018. See Regulations  
sections 1.721(c)-6(b)(2) and (3). See Gain deferral  
property, earlier.  
Category 1 filers. Only Category 1 filers must complete  
the Total ordinary income or loss column. In that column,  
report the foreign partnership's share of ordinary income  
(even if not received) or loss from partnerships in which  
the foreign partnership owns a direct interest. The total  
amount of ordinary income or loss from each partnership  
must also be included on Schedule B, line 4.

Important: All Category 1 filers in partnerships engaged  
in a domestic or foreign trade or business must complete  
Form 8865, Schedule B.  
If the partnership is a section 721(c) partnership and  
the gain deferral method is applied, Schedule B must  
include any remedial items for section 721(c) property,  
including an offsetting remedial item relating to  
contributed section 197(f)(9) property. See Regulations  
sections 1.704-3(d) and 1.704-3(d)(5)(iii). The total net  
amount of remedial allocations should be included on  
line 7, Other income (loss). Attach a detailed statement  
describing the remedial items allocated to each partner  
during the tax year for section 721(c) property. See  
Regulations section 1.721(c)-3. See Section 721(c)  
method, earlier.  
Filing Year  
Check the box for “Tax year of gain deferral contribution” if  
your tax year is a year in which a gain deferral contribution  
occurred (a gain deferral contribution year). Check the  
“Annual reporting” box if a gain deferral contribution  
occurred in a year prior to the current tax year and, in the  
current tax year, the gain deferral method applies to  
section 721(c) property contributed in the prior gain  
deferral contribution (an annual reporting year). If the tax  
year is both a gain deferral contribution year and an  
annual reporting year, both boxes should be checked.  
General Instructions  
On Schedule G, information must be provided for section  
721(c) property that was (a) contributed to the partnership  
in a gain deferral contribution that occurred during the  
current tax year; or (b) contributed to the partnership in a  
gain deferral contribution that occurred during a prior tax  
year, provided that the gain deferral method is applied to  
the property in the current tax year. Collectively, section  
721(c) property for which information must be reported on  
Schedule G is referred to as “reportable section 721(c)  
properties.See Section 721(c) property, earlier.  
Specific Instructions for Schedule B  
For specific instructions for Form 8865, Schedule B, use  
the instructions for Form 1065, lines 1a through 21

property-by-property basis. In Part I, reportable section  
721(c) properties and accompanying information must be  
listed in descending order of FMV (measured at the time  
of contribution). Thus, the reportable section 721(c)  
property with the highest FMV should be listed on line 1,  
the reportable section 721(c) property with the second  
highest FMV should be listed on line 2, and so on.  
In Parts II through IV, the line on which information is  
provided for a reportable section 721(c) property must  
correspond to the line on which the property is listed in  
Part I. Thus, in Parts II through IV, line 1 corresponds to  
Part I, line 1, and line 2 corresponds to Part I, line 2, and  
so on.  
If there are more than four reportable section 721(c)  
properties, in Parts I through IV, attach a statement using  
the same format as in Parts I through IV, listing properties,  
or information for properties, in the same manner as  
described in the preceding two paragraphs. For example,  
the first line on the statement for Part I must be labeled “5”

1.721(c)-4),  
Partial acceleration events (see Regulations section  
1.721(c)-5(d)),  
Termination events (see Regulations section  
Part I. Acceleration Event  
Acceleration event. An acceleration event is any event  
that either would reduce the amount of the remaining  
built-in gain that a U.S. transferor would have recognized  
under the gain deferral method if the event had not  
occurred or could defer the recognition of the remaining  
built-in gain. Acceleration events are applicable on a  
property-by-property basis. An acceleration event  
includes the transfer of section 721(c) property by making  
a contribution of the property itself to another partnership  
or the contribution of an interest in a section 721(c)  
partnership to another partnership. When an acceleration  
event occurs for a section 721(c) property, the U.S.  
transferor must recognize gain in an amount equal to  
remaining built-in gain in the property that would have  
been allocated to the U.S. transferor if the section 721(c)  
partnership had sold the section 721(c) property  
1.721(c)-5(b)),  
Successor events involving a successor partnership or  
U.S. transferor (see Regulations section 1.721(c)-5(c)),  
Taxable disposition of a portion of an interest in a  
partnership (see Regulations section 1.721(c)-5(f)), and  
Direct or indirect transfer of section 721(c) property to a  
foreign corporation subject to section 367 (see  
Regulations section 1.721(c)-5(e)).

questions on lines 1 through 6b of Part V, also complete  
and attach Schedule H (Form 8865). See the separate  
instructions later for Schedule H. In addition, the  
corresponding checkboxes in Part I, columns 7(a) through  
7(e), should be marked, as applicable.  
Line 7a. If the answer is “Yes,attach to Form 8865 a  
copy of the waiver of treaty benefits for the reportable  
section 721(c) property. See Regulations sections

Following the event, the gain deferral method no longer  
applies to that section 721(c) property. See Regulations  
section 1.721(c)-4 for rules relating to acceleration events.  
At any time, a U.S. transferor may affirmatively treat an  
acceleration event as having occurred (a deemed  
acceleration event) for a section 721(c) property by both  
recognizing the remaining built-in gain in that section  
721(c) property and satisfying the reporting requirements  
of the acceleration event. See Regulations section  
1.721(c)-4(b)(4).

acceleration event and the U.S. transferor recognizes a  
partial gain for the section 721(c) property. Certain  
distributions of other partnership property to a partner that  
result in an adjustment under section 734 to the section  
721(c) property constitute a partial acceleration event  
requiring that the U.S. transferor recognize gain. If there is  
a remaining built-in gain in the section 721(c) property  
immediately after the partial acceleration event, the gain  
deferral method must continue to apply and the U.S.  
transferor is required to continue to report the information  
on Schedule G for that property. See Regulations section  
1.721(c)-5(d).  
Part IV reports the information relating to a fully taxable  
disposition of a portion of an interest in a section 721(c)  
partnership. Complete this Part if a U.S. transferor or a  
partnership in which a U.S. transferor is a direct or indirect  
partner disposes of (directly or indirectly through one or  
more partnerships) a portion of an interest in a section  
721(c) partnership in a transaction in which the gain or  
loss, if any, is recognized. This will not be an acceleration  
event for the portion of the interest transferred. The gain  
deferral method will continue to apply for the section  
721(c) property of the section 721(c) partnership. The  
rules of Regulations section 1.704-3(a)(7) are applied to  
determine the remaining built-in gain in the section 721(c)  
property on a property-by-property basis that is  
Part II. Termination Event  
A termination event causes the gain deferral method to no  
longer apply for the affected section 721(c) property on a

Column (b). Provide a description of the termination  
event, including the citation to the relevant paragraph in  
Regulations section 1.721(c)-5(b). See Regulations  
section 1.721(c)-6(b)(3)(v). Use Part VI if additional space  
is needed to describe the transaction.  
Column (a). Provide a description of the disposition of  
the interest in the partnership, including whether the  
interest was a direct or indirect interest (through one or  
more partnerships). If more than one taxable disposition  
event occurs in the tax year, provide the required  
information for each event separately in Part IV in  
chronological date order. If additional space is needed,  
provide the information in Part VI.  
Column (c). Enter the percentage of partnership interest  
that was disposed of in the event to which all gain or loss,  
if any, is recognized.  
Column (d). Enter the percentage of the partnership  
interest (directly or indirectly through one or more  
partnerships) that the U.S. transferor retained immediately  
after the event.  
Column (e). Enter the aggregate amount of the  
remaining built-in gain for all of the section 721(c)  
properties that is attributable to the portion of the interest  
in the section 721(c) partnership that is retained. Attach a  
detailed supporting schedule to Schedule H that  
separately states each remaining section 721(c) property  
and its respective remaining built-in gain allocable to the  
U.S. transferor included in the aggregate amount reported  
in column (e).  
Part III. Successor Event  
A successor event allows for the continued application of  
the gain deferral method for the affected section 721(c)  
property on a property-by-property basis by a successor  
U.S. transferor or a successor section 721(c) partnership.  
However, if the successor doesn’t continue the gain  
deferral method, the event is an acceleration event and  
must be reported in Part I above. Successor events are  
applicable on a property-by-property basis. If only a  
portion of an interest in a partnership is transferred in a  
successor event, the rules of Regulations section  
1.704-3(a)(7) are applied to determine the remaining  
built-in gain in the section 721(c) property that is  
attributable to the portion of the interest that is transferred  
and the portion that is retained. Regulations section  
1.721(c)-5(c) identifies the successor events, including  
special rules for transactions involving tiered partnerships.  
If more than one successor event occurs in the tax  
year, provide the required information for each event  
separately in Part IV in chronological date order.  
Column (b). Provide a description of the successor  
event, including the citation to the relevant paragraph in  
Regulations section 1.721(c)-5(c). See Regulations  
section 1.721(c)-6(b)(3)(v). Use Part VI if additional space  
is needed to describe the transaction.

U.S. transferor is a direct or indirect partner transfers  
(directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships) all  
or a portion of the section 721(c) partnership that owns  
section 721(c) property to a foreign corporation.  
As a result of the section 367 event, the section 721(c)  
property is no longer subject to the gain deferral method.  
The U.S. transferor is treated as transferring the section  
721(c) property to a foreign corporation and is subject to  
taxation on the transfer under section 367. See the section  
367 regulations for rules relating to gain or income  
recognition under section 367.  
Note. A transfer of property to a foreign corporation by a  
U.S. transferor is subject to other reporting requirements  
under sections 367, 351, 368, and 6038B (for example,  
the filing of Form 926), as applicable. See the related  
regulations under these Code sections. Such reporting  
requirements are in addition to the filing of Schedule H.  
After considering the tax consequences under section  
367, the remaining built-in gain, if any, for the section  
721(c) property is recognized by the U.S. transferor to the  
extent that would have been allocated to the U.S.  
transferor had the section 721(c) partnership sold that  
portion of the property immediately before the transfer for  
FMV.  
Column (b). Provide a description of the section 367  
transfer, including whether the transfer was a direct or  
indirect transfer (through one or more partnerships) of  
section 721(c) property to a foreign corporation. If more  
than one section 367 transfer occurs in the tax year,  
provide the required information for each transfer  
separately in Part IV in chronological date order. If  
additional space is needed, provide the information in Part  
VI.  
Schedules K, Partners' Distributive  
Share Items, and K-1 (Form 8865),  
Partner’s Share of Income,  
Deductions, Credits, etc.  
Schedule K  
Form 8865, Schedule K, is a summary schedule of all of  
the partners' shares of the partnership income, credits,  
deductions, etc. Only Category 1 filers must complete  
Form 8865, Schedule K.  
Schedule K-1  
Schedule K-1 (Form 8865) is used to report a specific  
partner's share of the partnership income, deductions,  
credits, etc.  
All Category 1 and 2 filers must complete Schedule K-1  
(Form 8865) for any direct interest they hold in the  
partnership. A Category 1 or 2 filer that doesn’t own a  
direct interest is not required to complete Schedule K-1  
(Form 8865).  
Column (d). Enter the amount of the remaining portion of  
built-in gain recognized by the U.S. transferor under  
section 721(c). The amount of gain equals the remaining  
portion of the built-in gain that would have been allocated  
to the U.S. transferor if the section 721(c) partnership had  
sold that portion of the section 721(c) property  
Category 1 filers must also complete Schedule K-1  
(Form 8865) for each U.S. person that directly owns a  
10% or greater direct interest in the partnership.  
Provide the partner's beginning and year-end  
percentage interests in partnership profits, losses, capital,  
or deductions. These percentages should include any  
interest constructively owned by the filer.  
immediately before the transfer for FMV. This amount  
should not include any gain or income recognized by the  
U.S. transferor pursuant to section 367 that is reported  
elsewhere on the return. See Regulations section  
1.721(c)-5(e). After the section 367 transfer, the  
transferred section 721(c) property will no longer be  
subject to the gain deferral method.  
Column (e). Enter the identifying information of the  
foreign transferee corporation that received the section  
721(c) property in the section 367 transfer. The identifying  
information includes the name, address, and U.S.TIN, if  
any.  
Complete boxes 1 through 21 for any direct interest that  
the partner owns in the partnership.  
Example. Partner A owns a 45% direct interest in a  
foreign partnership (FPS). Partner A also owns 100% of  
the stock of a domestic corporation (DC), which owns a  
10% direct interest in FPS. Therefore, Partner A is  
considered to own a 55% interest in FPS and is thus a  
Category 1 filer. When Partner A completes Schedule K-1  
(Form 8865) for itself, Partner A must report the  
distributive share of items allocated to Partner A's direct  
interest of 45% but not any items allocated to DC's 10%  
interest. When Partner A completes Schedule K-1 (Form  
8865) for DC (which Partner A must do because DC owns  
a direct 10% interest), Partner A must report on DC's  
Schedule K-1 (Form 8865) only items allocated to DC's  
direct 10% interest.

721(c) partnership doesn’t have a filing obligation under  
section 6031, the U.S. transferor must obtain a  
Schedule K-1 (Form 8865) for each direct or indirect  
partner that is related to the U.S. transferor (within the  
meaning of section 267(b) or 707(b)(1)) and that isn’t a  
U.S. person (related foreign partner). See Regulations  
section 1.721(c)-6(c)(3). The Schedule K-1 (Form 8865)  
for each related foreign partner must be filed and attached

which the section 721(c) partnership adopts the remedial  
allocation method, the amounts reflected on each  
partner's Schedule K-1 for the allocations of income,  
gains, losses, deductions, or credits allocated to such  
partner must include any allocations of remedial items for  
section 721(c) property. See Regulations section  
1.721(c)-3(c).  
For example, if the partner is the U.S. transferor of  
section 721(c) property, Part III, line 1, would include any  
remedial income allocated to the U.S. transferor from  
Schedule G, Part II, column (c), Remedial income  
allocated to U.S. transferor, as applicable. For partners  
other than the transferor, Part III, line 1, would include their  
share of ordinary business income (or loss) after taking  
into account any remedial items to such partner relating to  
section 721(c) property. However, Part III, line 1, would not  
include basis adjustments attributable to section 197(f)(9)  
for related foreign partners. See Regulations sections  
1.704-3(d)(5)(iii) and 1.721(c)-3. See Section 721(c)

foreign partnership. See Categories of Filers, earlier, for  
more details about what types of dispositions must be  
reported. For each disposition reported in Part II, indicate  
in Part IV whether a statement is required by Regulations

This section is completed by U.S. persons who are  
Category 4 filers because their direct proportional interest  
in the foreign partnership changed. See Categories of

gain deferral method. The U.S. transferor may be required  
to recognize gain in an amount equal to the remaining  
built-in gain on the section 721(c) property previously  
contributed to the section 721(c) partnership. In this case,  
Schedule H must also be filed. See Regulations section  
1.721(c)-4. For acceleration event exceptions, see  
Regulations section 1.721(c)-5.  
Column (a). Unless you disposed of the interest by

Column (b). Enter the date of the disposition. If the  
disposition was composed of a series of transactions over  
multiple dates, enter the date the disposition was  
completed.

that must be reported in detail. Identify the applicable part  
number and column next to the information entered in Part  
IV.

IRS to disclose or give such information to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation, and to cities, states,  
the District of Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths and territories for use in administering their tax laws. We may also
