Partnership Operating Agreements: Amendments Needed in 2018
Articles by: Richey May, May 22, 2018
All businesses operating as partnerships for federal income tax purposes need to amend their operating/partnership agreements in 2018 to address new IRS audit procedures that significantly change how partnerships are audited and additional tax assessments are made. Whether or not you operate a business as a partnership or simply invest in partnerships, these new rules may require current partners in a partnership to pay any additional taxes, interest and penalties attributable to an IRS examination of a prior year in which they were not a partner in the partnership. Provisions may be added to partnership agreements to address some of the financial inequities of these new rules.
