Description

Additional rules apply when a foreign person utilizes a partnership to invest in the United States. The foreign partner in the partnership and the partnership must navigate through a complex set of rules that vary depending on the nature of the investment and whether or not the investment is in U.S. real property.

When the investment is in U.S. real estate, the interaction between FIRPTA regulations and other withholding rules governs the relationship of partners with the partnership as well as the partnership's obligations to the IRS.

These rules are sprinkled across various IRC Sections from 1441 to 1446. The recent changes to Section 1446 added another layer of complexity to these already complicated requirements. Now, after changes in 2019, 2020, and 2021, a foreign partner's sale of partnership interest is subject to special withholding rules unless an exception applies.

Listen as our experienced foreign flow-through expert explores the complex rules associated with foreign partners investing in partnerships and outlines the governing rules under Section 1446(f) covering a foreign partner's sale of a partnership interest.
