special reporting requirements. However,
the purchase of a partnership interest that
is treated for federal income tax purposes
as a purchase of partnership assets,
which constitute a trade or business, is
subject to section 1060. In this case, the
purchaser must file Form 8594. See Rev.
Rul. 99-6, 1999-6 I.R.B. 6, available at
Consideration. The purchaser's
consideration is the cost of the assets.
The seller's consideration is the amount
realized.
Future Developments
For the latest information about
developments related to Form 8594 and
its instructions, such as legislation
enacted after they were published, go to
Fair market value. Fair market value is
the gross fair market value unreduced by
mortgages, liens, pledges, or other
liabilities. However, for determining the
seller's gain or loss, generally, the fair
market value of any property is treated as
being not less than any nonrecourse debt
to which the property is subject. Also, a
liability that was incurred as a result of the
acquisition of the property is disregarded
to the extent that such liability was not
taken into account in determining the
basis in such property.
When To File
General Instructions
Generally, attach Form 8594 to your
income tax return for the year in which the
sale date occurred.
Purpose of Form
Both the seller and purchaser of a group of
assets that makes up a trade or business
must use Form 8594 to report such a sale
if goodwill or going concern value
attaches, or could attach, to such assets
and if the purchaser's basis in the assets
is determined only by the amount paid for
the assets.
If the amount allocated to any asset is
increased or decreased after the year in
which the sale occurs, the seller and/or
purchaser (whoever is affected) must
complete Parts I and III of Form 8594 and
attach the form to the income tax return for
the year in which the increase or decrease
is taken into account.
Classes of assets. The following
definitions are the classifications for
deemed or actual asset acquisitions.
Class I assets are cash and general
deposit accounts (including savings and
checking accounts) other than certificates
of deposit held in banks, savings and loan
associations, and other depository
institutions.
Form 8594 must also be filed if the
purchaser or seller is amending an original
or a previously filed supplemental Form
8594 because of an increase or decrease
in the purchaser's cost of the assets or the
amount realized by the seller.
Penalties
If you do not file a correct Form 8594 by
the due date of your return and you cannot
show reasonable cause, you may be
subject to penalties. See sections 6721
through 6724.
Class II assets are actively traded
personal property within the meaning of
section 1092(d)(1) and Regulations
section 1.1092(d)-1 (determined without
regard to section 1092(d)(3)). In addition,
Class II assets include certificates of
deposit and foreign currency even if they
are not actively traded personal property.
Class II assets do not include stock of
seller's affiliates, whether or not actively
traded, other than actively traded stock
described in section 1504(a)(4). Examples
of Class II assets include U.S.
Who Must File
Definitions
Generally, both the purchaser and seller
must file Form 8594 and attach it to their
income tax returns (Forms 1040, 1041,
1065, 1120, 1120-S, etc.) when there is a
transfer of a group of assets that makes
up a trade or business (defined below)
and the purchaser's basis in such assets
is determined wholly by the amount paid
for the assets. This applies whether the
group of assets constitutes a trade or
business in the hands of the seller, the
purchaser, or both.
Trade or business. A group of assets
makes up a trade or business if goodwill or
going concern value could under any
circumstances attach to such assets. A
group of assets can also qualify as a trade
or business if it qualifies as an active trade
or business under section 355 (relating to
distributions of stock in controlled
corporations).
Government securities and publicly traded
stock.
Factors to consider in determining
whether goodwill or going concern value
could attach include:
If the purchaser or seller is a controlled
foreign corporation (CFC), each U.S.
shareholder should attach Form 8594 to
its Form 5471.
Class III assets are assets that the
taxpayer marks to market at least annually
for federal income tax purposes and debt
instruments (including accounts
receivable). However, Class III assets do

property in a transaction to which section
1031 applies. If section 1031 does not
apply to all the assets transferred,
however, Form 8594 is required for the
part of the group of assets to which
section 1031 does not apply. For
