Plain-English summary

The Chief Counsel's Office addressed the tax treatment of an amount paid by a partnership to a partner. It concluded that the payment is a partnership item. Changing the amount reported by the partnership would therefore require the IRS to issue a final partnership administrative adjustment, or FPAA.
