Special Rules
Transfers by a partnership. If the
•
transferor is a partnership (domestic
or foreign), the domestic partners of
the partnership, not the partnership
itself, are required to comply with
section 6038B and file Form 926.
Each domestic partner is treated as a
transferor of its proportionate share of
the property. See the instructions for
line 3 for additional information.
For transfers in tax years beginning
after 2017, TCJA section 14221
revised the definition of intangible
property under section 936(h)(3)(B)

Information
Identifying number. The identifying
number of an individual is his or her
social security number (SSN). The
identifying number of all others is their
employer identification number (EIN).
Line 1. Check the “Yes” box on
line 1 if the transferee is a specified
10%-owned foreign corporation that is
not a controlled foreign corporation
(as defined in section 957(a)).
A specified 10%-owned foreign
corporation is defined in section
245A(b)(1) as any foreign corporation
with respect to which any domestic
corporation is a U.S. shareholder. A
controlled foreign corporation is
defined in section 957(a) as any
foreign corporation if, on any day
during the tax year of such foreign
corporation, U.S. shareholders own

A “reference ID number” is a
number established by or on behalf of
the U.S. transferor identified at the top
of page 1 of the form that is assigned
to the transferee foreign corporation
with respect to which Form 926
reporting is required. These numbers
are used to uniquely identify the
transferee foreign corporation in order
to keep track of the entity from tax
year to tax year. The reference ID
number must meet the requirements
set forth below.
Line 2c. If the transferor was a
member of an affiliated group filing a
consolidated tax return (see sections
1501 through 1504), but was not the
parent corporation, list the name and
EIN of the parent corporation and file
Form 926 with the parent
corporation's consolidated return.
Line 2d. If the answer to line 2d is
"Yes," and if the asset is transferred in
an exchange described in section
361(a) or (b), attach the following.
A statement that the conditions set

forth in the second sentence of
section 367(a)(4) and any regulations
under that section have been

no need to apply to the IRS to request
a reference ID number or for

Note. In general, the reference ID
number assigned to a transferee
foreign corporation on Form 926 has
relevance only to Form 926 and
should not be used with respect to the
transferee foreign corporation on
other IRS forms.
Requirements. The reference ID
number 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.
Line 3. If a partnership (whether
foreign or domestic) transfers property
to a foreign corporation in an
958(a)), or are considered to own by
applying the rules of ownership of
section 958(b), more than 50% of (1)
the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of such corporation
entitled to vote, or (2) the total value of
the stock of such corporation.
Check the “No” box on line 1 and
check the “Yes” box in Part II, line 9, if
the transferee foreign corporation is a
controlled foreign corporation.
Line 2a. If you answered “Yes” to
question 2a and the asset is stock,
section 367(a)(4) may require basis
adjustments. If you answered “No” to
question 2a and the asset is a tangible
asset, the transfer is taxable under
sections 367(a)(1) and (a)(4). If the
asset transferred is an intangible
asset, see section 367(d) and its
regulations.
If you answered “No” to question
2a: If the U.S. transferor is owned
directly by more than five domestic
corporations immediately before the
reorganization, but some combination
of five or fewer domestic corporations
controls the U.S. transferor, the U.S.
transferor must designate the five or
fewer domestic corporations that
comprise the control group. List these
designated corporations on Form 926,
