Refiguring Estimated
Section 1446 Tax
Purpose of Form
Partnerships that have effectively
connected taxable income (ECTI)
allocable to foreign partners can use the
Form 8804-W (WORKSHEET) to
determine the proper estimated section
1446 tax payments.
If, after the partnership figures and makes
an installment payment of estimated
section 1446 tax, it finds that its section
1446 tax liability for the year will be more
or less than originally estimated, it may
have to refigure its required installments. If
earlier installments were underpaid, the
partnership may owe a penalty for
If the partnership has net ordinary loss,
net short-term capital loss, or net 28% rate

resulting from the underpayment of any
earlier installments, whether caused by a
change in estimate, failure to make a
payment, or a mistake.
Partnerships must generally make

Example. An amusement park with a
calendar year as its tax year receives the
largest part of its ECTI during a 6-month
period, May through October. To figure its
base period percentage for this 6-month
period, the amusement park figures its
ECTI for each May–October period in
2021, 2022, and 2023. It then divides the
ECTI for each May–October period by the
total ECTI for that particular tax year. The
resulting percentages are 69% (0.69) for
annualization period. However, a section
481(a) adjustment (unless the partnership
makes the alternative choice under
Regulations section 1.6655-2(f)(3)(ii)(C))
