Audited partnership, for purposes of Form 8986, is a BBA
partnership that made the election under section 6226 to have its
partners report their share of adjustments to partnership-related
items.
Audited partnership’s adjustment year is the year that
includes the date the court decision became final, if the
partnership filed a petition under section 6234. Otherwise, it is
the year that includes the date the final partnership adjustment
(FPA) letter was mailed, or the FPA waiver was executed by the
IRS.
Instructions for Partners That Receive Form
Adjustments that do not result in an IU. A partnership
adjustment does not result in an imputed underpayment (IU) if
the result of netting with respect to any grouping or subgrouping
that includes the particular partnership adjustment is zero or less
than zero. Adjustments do not result in an IU if the calculation of
the IU on those adjustments results in an amount that is zero or
less than zero. Any adjustment to an item which is not a
monetary item (for example, an election made by the
partnership) is an adjustment that does not result in an IU.
BBA AAR is an administrative adjustment request filed by a BBA
partnership.

Future Developments
For the latest information about developments related to Form
8986 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they
Reminder
The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (BBA) created a centralized
partnership audit regime that replaced the partnership audit
procedures under the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of
1982 (TEFRA). Form 8986 was created for partnerships to show
each partner’s share of adjustments to partnership-related items
as a result of a BBA audit or BBA administrative adjustment
request (AAR).
First affected year is the partner’s tax year that includes the
end of the audited or AAR partnership’s reviewed year(s). Each
reviewed year of an audited partnership should have a
corresponding first affected year for each partner.
Imputed underpayment (IU) is the amount determined under
sections 6225, 6226, and 6227, and the regulations thereunder.
Partnership representative (PR) is the person designated by
the partnership or by the IRS under section 6223 and the
regulations thereunder to act on behalf of the BBA partnership.
Pass-through partner is a pass-through entity that holds an
interest, either directly or indirectly, in a partnership.
Pass-through entities include partnerships, S corporations,
trusts, and decedents’ estates. For purposes of Form 8986, a
pass-through entity is not a wholly owned entity disregarded as
separate from its owner for federal tax purposes or a trust that is
wholly owned by only one person.
Purpose of Form
Form 8986 is used by BBA partnerships to furnish and transmit
each partner’s share of adjustments to partnership-related items.
Definitions
AAR partnership is a BBA partnership (see below) that has
filed an administrative adjustment request (AAR) under section
6227.
AAR partnership’s adjustment year is the partnership tax year
that includes the year the AAR was filed with the IRS.
Affected partner is a partner that held an interest in a
pass-through partner at any time during the tax year of the
Pass-through partner’s tax year end to which the
adjustments relate is the end of the pass-through partner's tax
year which includes the audited or AAR partnership's reviewed
year end date.

Cat. No. 69668G
Note. Certain entity partners can be both a non-pass-through
partner and a pass-through partner. To the extent the
adjustments an entity partner received on a Form 8986 relate to
items that are taxable at the entity level, it is considered a
non-pass-through partner, and with regard to adjustments that
pass through to its owners/beneficiaries it is considered a
pass-through partner.
An audited partnership can submit corrected Forms 8986,
along with Form 8985, within 60 days of the original due date
without IRS permission. If corrected forms need to be submitted
after the 60-day correction period, the audited partnership must
contact the IRS for permission to submit.
AAR partnerships. An AAR partnership that either elects to
push out the resulting adjustments to its partners or has
adjustments that do not result in an IU must furnish Forms 8986
to all partners and include them with their AAR, along with Form
8985.
Reporting year is the partner’s tax year(s) that includes the date
the audited or AAR partnership furnished the Forms 8986 to its
partners.
Reviewed year is the audited or AAR partnership’s tax year to
which the partnership adjustment(s) relates.
Pass-through partners. Direct and indirect pass-through
partners must furnish Forms 8986 to their partners and submit
them to the IRS, along with Form 8985, by the extended due
date of the audited partnership’s adjustment year return (or the
extended due date of the AAR partnership’s adjustment year
return). This date can be found in Part II, item F, of the Form 8986
that was received by the pass-through partner. Failure to submit
these forms by the due date results in the pass-through partner
being liable for an IU.
A pass-through partner who receives a Form 8986 related to
an audited partnership can submit corrected Forms 8986, along
with Form 8985, within 60 days of the original due date without
IRS permission. If corrected forms need to be submitted after the
60-day correction period, the pass-through partner must contact
the IRS for permission to submit.
Reviewed year adjustments are adjustments originating from
the AAR or audited partnership’s reviewed year(s).
Reviewed year partner is any person that held an interest in
the audited or AAR partnership at any time during the
partnership’s reviewed year.

were changed as part of an audit proceeding to disguised sale
proceeds under section 707 should be reported with the column

category and with column (c), code DS. The partnership should
also include a statement in Part VI describing the asset that was
sold, the proceeds, and the tax basis of the asset at the time of
the contribution.
Note. Because section 199A dividends are reported as a
cumulative amount and not per qualified trade or business, these
should only be included once in the first section 199A statement
attached to Form 8986, regardless of how many statements may
be necessary.
Adjustments that increase or decrease section 199A
information reported to the partners must be shown in a separate
statement for each trade or business or each aggregated trade
or business. See below for an example of the information that
should be included in Part VI of the Form 8986.
Note. Column (f) amounts should correspond to the partner’s
distributive share of audit adjustments as finally determined (or
AAR adjustments). Column (g) amounts should only include
approved modifications with respect to the partner receiving the
Form 8986. Only approved amended return and closing
agreement modifications should be included in column (g)
above. All other modifications should be included in a separate
statement in Part VI.
Note. Section 199A dividends should only be included in the
first section 199A statement attached to Form 8986.
Each trade or business should indicate if it is a PTP, an
Aggregated, or an SSTB. See the Instructions for Schedule K-1
(Form 1065 or Form 1120-S).
Applicable penalties. The applicability of penalties is
determined at the audited partnership or AAR partnership level.
In the penalties section of Part V, enter the penalty code
sections, descriptions, rates, adjustment line numbers, and total
adjustment amount to which the penalty applies.
If the partnership is a patron of a specified agricultural or
horticultural cooperative, the partnership must also include a
statement for each trade or business identifying the
adjustment(s) to qualified items of income, gain, deduction, and
loss and W-2 wages allocable to qualified payments.
Part VI—Statements
Note. Because section 199A(g) deductions are reported as a
cumulative amount and not per qualified trade or business, these
should only be included once in the first statement of
adjustments to items allocable to qualified payments attached to
Form 8986, regardless of how many statements may be
necessary.
Column (a), Line no./code—List the corresponding Part V
column (a) Schedule K-1 line number and column (c) code (if
applicable) for each item for which a statement is included.
Column (b), Statement—Include a detailed explanation of the
amount(s) that correspond to the item in column (a).
Supporting schedules and statements should be in a format
that shows the original amount, the net change, and the correct
amount for each item listed in the statement. If any column (b)
statements exceed the space allowable in one box, continue in
the next box with the same information in column (a).
Example. Assume Partnership ABC has one trade or
business that is an SSTB and is not a patron in a specified
