Code unless otherwise noted.  
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.  
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  
not include:  
The presence of any section 197 or  
other intangible assets (provided that the  
transfer of such an asset in the absence of  
other assets will not be a trade or  
business);  
Exceptions. You are not required to file  
Form 8594 if any of the following apply.  
Any excess of the total paid for the  
Debt instruments issued by persons  
A group of assets that makes up a trade  
assets over the aggregate book value of  
the assets (other than goodwill or going  
concern value) as shown in the  
purchaser's financial accounting books  
and records; or  
related at the beginning of the day  
following the acquisition date to the target  
under section 267(b) or 707;  
or business is exchanged for like-kind  
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  
information about such a transaction, see  
Regulations sections 1.1031(j)-1(b) and  
1.1060-1(b)(8).  
Contingent debt instruments subject to  
Regulations sections 1.1275-4 and  
1.483-4, or section 988, unless the  
instrument is subject to the noncontingent  
bond method of Regulations section  
1.1275-4(b) or is described in Regulations  
section 1.988-2(b)(2)(i)(B)(2); and  
A license, a lease agreement, a

close of the tax year, or property held by  
the taxpayer primarily for sale to

decrease is taken into account because it  
has been disposed of, depreciated,

under section 1060, the decrease in  
consideration allocable to such asset must  
be properly taken into account under the  
principles of tax law applicable when the

basis) is reduced after the asset has been
