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  
were published, go to IRS.gov/Form8986.  
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.  
Jan 16, 2024  
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.  
General Instructions

column to the amounts reported in Part V. If doing so be sure to  
complete the line number field in column (a) which is a  
mandatory field for all items entered in Part VI (Statements).  
Statements related to section 199A information.  
Disguised sale adjustments. Distributions to a partner that  
were changed as part of an audit proceeding to disguised sale  
proceeds under section 707 should be reported with the column  
(a) line number that corresponds to the Schedule K-1 “Other”  
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  
agricultural or horticultural cooperative. On its filed return,  
Partnership ABC reported the items shown in Table 1 on  
Statement A—QBI Pass-Through Entity Reporting, attached to  
Partner A’s Schedule K-1.  
Statements provided in addition to amounts in Part V. To
