|
| Certified Mail # AAAA 1111 2222 3333 4441 | |
| Dear Partner: | |
| NOTICE OF FINAL PARTNERSHIP ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENT | |
| The law requires us to send a Notice of Final Partnership Administrative Adjustment (FPAA) to the partnership named above, for the tax year shown above, and to each partner who is entitled to receive this notice. | |
| We are proposing adjustments to the partnership items of the partnership and tax year shown above. We will send the examination report outlining these adjustments to the Tax Matters Partner (TMP) of the partnership. (The TMP is the partner designated by the partnership to deal with the IRS.) He/she is also authorized to act for the partners who are not entitled to receive this notice. Any partner who wants a copy of the examination report should request it from the TMP. If the TMP is unable to provide you with a copy of the examination report, please contact the person named in the heading of this letter. | |
| Letter 1830 (Rev. 3-2001) | |
| 1 of 10 | |
| -2- |
| Taxable Years Ending Before August 6, 1997: |
| The adjustments to the partnership items reported on the partnership tax return may cause an increase or decrease in the tax liability on your individual return. Form 870-P, Agreement to Assessment and Collection of Deficiency in Tax for Partnership Adjustments, is a summary of the proposed adjustments to the partnership return. You may compute your share of the proposed adjustments by multiplying each adjusted partnership item by your percentage interest for that partnership item. |
| Taxable Years Ending After August 5, 1997: |
| The adjustments to the partnership items reported on the partnership tax return may cause an increase or decrease in the tax liability on your individual return. The adjustments may include partnership level determinations regarding penalties and additions to tax that relate to adjustments to partnership items. Form 870-PT, Agreement for Partnership Items and Partnership Level Determinations as to Penalties, Additions to Tax and Additional Amounts , is a summary of the proposed adjustments to the partnership return. You can compute your share of the proposed adjustments by multiplying each adjusted partnership item by your percentage interest for that partnership item. |
| You have three options available to you. |
| 1. If you agree with the adjustments: |
| Sign and return the enclosed Form 870-P/Form 870-PT. When you sign Form 870-P/Form 870-PT, you are agreeing to pay any additional tax and interest resulting from the adjustments to the partnership return. For tax years ending after August 5, 1997, you are also agreeing to any partnership level determination as to penalties, additions to tax and additional amounts that relate to adjustments to partnership items, if any. In addition, you are waiving your rights to participate in any administrative or judicial proceeding affecting partnership items and in partnership level determinations as to penalties, additions to tax and additional amounts that relate to adjustments to partnership items for the tax year in question. This is a binding settlement only if you sign and return Form 870-P/Form 870-PT and we sign on behalf of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue Service. When we sign the agreement form, the one-year extension of the period of limitations on assessments will begin under Internal Revenue Code section 6229(f). Once the agreement is signed by both parties, you may not file a claim to change the items in question or claim a refund/credit based on a readjustment. |
| Note: If you are the TMP of the partnership, see the section of this letter entitled, "For the Tax Matters Partner of the Partnership" . |
| Letter 1830 (Rev. 3-2001) |
| 2 of 10 |
| -3- |
| 2. If you do not agree with the adjustments: |
| If you are the TMP of the partnership and want to contest the adjustments in court, you must file a petition within 90 days from the date of this letter. During this 90-day period, no other partner may file a petition for judicial review. You can file your petition for readjustment of partnership items with: |
| 1. the United States Tax Court; 2. the United States Court of Federal Claims; or 3. the District Court of the United States, in the district of the partnership's principal place of business. |
| A petition filed by the TMP precludes all other actions. If the TMP doesn't file a petition by the 90th day from the date the FPAA was mailed, any partner or any 5 percent group entitled to receive this notice may petition one of these courts. A "5 percent group" includes any group of partners who together have an interest of five percent or more in profits of the partnership. The petition must be filed after the 90th day, but on or before the 150th day from the date the FPAA was mailed to the TMP. If more than one petition is filed in Tax Court, the first petition filed will go forward. All other petitions (even those filed earlier in one of the other courts) will be dismissed. If no one files a petition in Tax Court, the first petition filed in one of the other courts will go forward and subsequent petitions will be dismissed. |
| Petitions filed with the United States Tax Court must be mailed to: |
| United States Tax Court 400 Second Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20217 |
| Attach a copy of this letter to the petition. The time in which you must file a petition with the court is fixed by law and the court cannot consider your case if your petition is filed late. If this letter is addressed to both a husband and wife, and both want to petition the Tax Court, both must sign the petition, or each must file a separate signed petition. |
| When a partner (including each member of a 5 percent group that files a petition) files a petition in either the appropriate District Court or the Court of Federal Claims, the partner filing the petition must deposit the amount that the partner's tax liability would be increased if the treatment of the partnership items on the partner's return were made consistent with the treatment of partnership items under the FPAA. If you reported the partnership items the way the partnership reported them on its return, you can generally determine the amount to deposit by taking your pro rata share of the partnership adjustments |
| Letter 1830 (Rev. 3-2001) |
| 3 of 10 |
| -4- | |
| into account in recomputing your tax. You must deposit the appropriate amount with the IRS on or before the day you file your petition. | |
| 3. If you do nothing: | |
| If a petition for readjustment is not filed in any of the courts listed in this letter, the FPAA becomes final, and we will bill you for any additional tax plus interest that you may owe under the FPAA. You will not be permitted to contest the treatment of the partnership items of the partnership under the FPAA in any refund claim or suit. The law allows the Service to bill you after 150 days from the mailing date of the FPAA to the TMP. | |
| However, if a petition is filed in the Tax Court, and the Tax Court upholds the adjustments in whole or in part, we will not bill you until the Tax Court decision is final. | |
| You may wish to contact the TMP of the partnership or your tax advisor to discuss this matter. | |
| If you have any questions please write to the person whose name and address are shown in the heading of this letter. If you write, attach a copy of this letter to help identify your account. Also, include your telephone number and the most convenient time for us to call you in case we need additional information. | |
| If you prefer, you may call the IRS contact person at the telephone number shown in the heading of this letter. If this number is outside your local calling area, there will be a long distance charge to you. | |
| Thank you for your cooperation. | |
| Sincerely, | |

| FOR THE TAX MATTERS PARTNER OF THE PARTNERSHIP |

| As the TMP, you may submit a petition, as described above for the partnership on behalf of all partners. |
| If you have any questions, you can call the IRS contact person at the
telephone number shown in the heading of this letter. Thank you for your cooperation. |

| Begonia Partnership 0X-XX12346 |
Tax Year Ended: December 31, 1999 |
| Explanation of Adjustments | |
| (1) Other Income It is determined that other income is $93,000.00 and not $60,000.00 as shown on your return. Accordingly, the amount reported as other income is increased by $33,000.00. |
|
(2) Depreciation Expense and Basis of Energy Property It is determined that the basis of the new 5-year recovery property eligible for energy credit is $400,000.00 instead of the $600,000.00 shown on your return. Accordingly, the amount of property eligible for energy credit is decreased by $200,000.00. It is further determined that the depreciation deduction of $60,000.00, as shown in Exhibit 1, is allowable instead of the $90,000.00 shown on your return. Therefore, ordinary income is increased by $30,000.00. |
|
(3) Repair Expense The deduction of $12,000.00 shown on your return is not allowed because it has not been shown that the amounts claimed were ordinary and necessary expenses paid or accrued during the taxable year in carrying on any trade or business. Accordingly, the repair expense is reduced by $12,000.00. |
|
(4) Section 1231 Gain It is determined that your Section 1231 gain from the sale of assets is $1,500,000.00 and not $500,000.00 as shown on your return. Accordingly, the amount reported as Section 1231 Gain is increased by $1,000,000.00. |
|
(5) Negligence Penalty It is determined that the partnership improperly took deductions and/or credits due to negligence or intentional disregard of rules and regulations. IRC Section 6662 is applicable at the individual partner level and is asserted in this proceeding. |
|
(6) Capital Contributions Made During the 1999 Year It is determined that the capital contributions made during the 1999 year were $450,000.00 and not $600,000.00 as shown on your return. Accordingly, the capital contributions are decreased by $150,000.00. |
|
(7) Forgiveness of Debt Income It is determined that your forgiveness of debt income was $1,500,000.00 and not $500,000.00 as shown on your return. Accordingly, the forgiveness of debt income is increased by $1,000,000.00. |
|
| 10 of 10 | |
| Begonia Partnership 0X-XX12346 | Taxable Year Ended December 31, 1999 |
| FOR INFORMATION ONLY | |
| The explanations below provide the reasons
why the non-penalty affected items may be asserted after the partnership proceedings
have been completed. A petition to any court should not contain a non-penalty
affected item issue because the court will not have jurisdiction to consider
non-penalty affected items at this time. A court will have jurisdiction to
consider partnership related non-penalty affected items only after the partnership
and penalty affected item proceeding has been completed and the notices of
deficiency asserting the non-penalty affected items are issued. |
|
| IRC 704 | |
| It is determined that the partner’s
basis for the investment is less than the loss shown on the return. Therefore,
the loss in excess of basis is not allowable. |
|
| IRC 108 | |
| It is determined that the partners are not insolvent. Therefore, the forgiveness of debt income is not subject to exclusion under IRC Section 108. | |

| Taxable Years Ending After August 5, 1997: |
| The adjustments to the partnership items reported on the partnership tax return may cause an increase or decrease in the tax liability on your individual return.

| 2. If you do not agree with the adjustments: |
| If you are the TMP of the partnership and want to contest the adjustments in court, you must file a petition within 90 days from the date of this letter. During this 90-day period, no other partner may file a petition for judicial review. You can file your petition for readjustment of partnership items with: |
| 1. the United States Tax Court; 2. the United States Court of Federal Claims; or 3. the District Court of the United States, in the district of the partnership's principal place of business. |
| A petition filed by the TMP precludes all other actions.

If more than one petition is filed in Tax Court, the first petition filed will go forward. All other petitions (even those filed earlier in one of the other courts) will be dismissed. If no one files a petition in Tax Court, the first petition filed in one of the other courts will go forward and subsequent petitions will be dismissed. |
| Petitions filed with the United States Tax Court must be mailed to: |
| United States Tax Court 400 Second Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20217 |
| Attach a copy of this letter to the petition. The time in which you must file a petition with the court is fixed by law and the court cannot consider your case if your petition is filed late. If this letter is addressed to both a husband and wife, and both want to petition the Tax Court, both must sign the petition, or each must file a separate signed petition. |
| When a partner (including each member of a 5 percent group that files a petition) files a petition in either the appropriate District Court or the Court of Federal Claims, the partner filing the petition must deposit the amount that the partner's tax liability would be increased if the treatment of the partnership items on the partner's return were made consistent with the treatment of partnership items under the FPAA.

| Zinnia Partnership 0X-XX12333 |
Tax Year Ended: December 31, 1988 |
| Explanation of Adjustments | |
| (1) Other Income It is determined that other income is $93,000.00 and not $60,000.00 as shown on your return. Accordingly, the amount reported as other income is increased by $33,000.00. |
|
(2) Depreciation Expense and Basis of Energy Property It is determined that the basis of the new 5-year recovery property eligible for energy credit is $400,000.00 instead of the $600,000.00 shown on your return. Accordingly, the amount of property eligible for energy credit is decreased by $200,000.00. It is further determined that the depreciation deduction of $60,000.00, as shown in Exhibit 1, is allowable instead of the $90,000.00 shown on your return. Therefore, ordinary income is increased by $30,000.00. |
|
(3) Repair Expense The deduction of $12,000.00 shown on your return is not allowed because it has not been shown that the amounts claimed were ordinary and necessary expenses paid or accrued during the taxable year in carrying on any trade or business. Accordingly, the repair expense is reduced by $12,000.00. |
|
(4) Section 1231 Gain It is determined that your Section 1231 gain from the sale of assets is $1,500,000.00 and not $500,000.00 as shown on your return. Accordingly, the amount reported as Section 1231 Gain is increased by $1,000,000.00. |
|

Taxable Year Ended December 31, 1988 |
| FOR INFORMATION ONLY | |
| The explanations stated below are provided for your information. | |
| IRC section 6621(c) – (For tax years with due dates before January 1, 1990) | |
| It is determined that the partnership (S corporation) has improperly taken deductions and/or credits for tax motivated reasons. The increased rate of interest prescribed in IRC Section 6621(c) is applicable at the individual partner (shareholder) level after the partnership proceedings have been completed. Where the only items raised in a subsequent affected items notice of deficiency are additions to tax, the Service takes the position that the Tax Court will not have jurisdiction to consider IRC Section 6621(c) interest unless the interest is prepaid. IRC Section 6621(c) interest will be assessed and collected as regular interest in those cases. | |
| Penalties | |
| The explanations below provide the reasons why the penalties may be asserted after the partnership proceedings have been completed. A petition to any court should not contain a penalty issue because the court will not have jurisdiction to consider penalties at this time. A court will have jurisdiction to consider partnership related penalties only after the partnership proceeding has been completed and the notices of deficiency asserting the penalties are issued. | |
| IRC Section 6659 | |
| It is determined that the partnership (S corporation) has improperly taken deductions and/or credits attributable to the overvaluation of assets. IRC Section 6659 is applicable at the individual partner (shareholder) level and may be raised in separate proceedings at the partner (shareholder) level following the present partnership (S corporation) proceeding. | |
| IRC Section 6653(a) | |
| It is determined that the partnership (S corporation) has improperly taken deductions and/or credits due to negligence or intentional disregard of rules and regulations. IRC Section 6653(a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) are applicable at the individual partner (shareholder) level and may be raised in separate proceedings at the partner (shareholder) level following the partnership (S corporation) proceeding. The penalty is 5 percent of the underpayment of tax pursuant to Section 6653(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, plus 50 percent of the interest due on the portion of the underpayment attributable to negligence pursuant to Section 6653(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code. | |

(b) (Partnership name) is a partnership which is subject to the unified partnership audit and litigation procedures set forth in IRC section 6221 et seq. (the TEFRA partnership procedures). (c) For purposes of computing the deficiency (or overpayment) in this case, taxpayer's partnership items relating to (partnership name) have been treated as if they were correctly reported on taxpayer's income tax return(s) for the (year(s)) taxable year(s) and they have not been adjusted as part of this proceeding.

(g) Taxpayer(s) waive(s) any restrictions on assessment or overpayment imposed by IRC sections 6501, 6511 or 6512, with respect to any assessment, credit or refund described in subparagraph (f), provided such assessment, credit or refund is made within the time period provided for computational adjustments as defined in IRC section 6231(a)(6). |

| Notice of Adjustment | |
| Tax Year(s) Ended 12-31-2002 |
|
| We have determined adjustments to non-partnership items for your tax return(s) for the tax year(s) identified above. This letter is your NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT as required by law. The enclosed statement lists the adjustments to non-partnership items. | |
| This NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT is authorized by Internal Revenue Code Section 6234 because: (1) your tax return for the specified tax year is oversheltered, meaning that it shows no taxable income and a net loss from partnership items; and (2) the adjustments to non-partnership items do not give rise to a deficiency in tax but would give rise to a deficiency if there was no net loss from partnership items. | |
| If you want to contest this determination in court, you have 90 days from the date of this letter (150 days if this letter is addressed to you outside of the United States) to file a petition with the United States Tax Court for a redetermination of the adjustments. You can get a copy of the rules for filing a petition and a petition form you can use by writing to the address below or by visiting the court's internet site at www.ustaxcourt.gov. | |
| United States Tax Court 400 Second Street, NW Washington DC 20217 |
|
| Send the completed petition form, a copy of this letter, and copies of all statements and/or schedules you received with this letter to the Tax Court at the above address. The court cannot consider your case if you file the petition late. The petition is considered timely filed if the postmark date falls within the prescribed 90 or | |
| Letter 4151 (CG) | |
| 150 day period and the envelope containing the petition is properly addressed with the correct postage. If more than one tax year is shown above, you may file one petition form showing all of the years you are contesting. | |
| The time you have to file a petition with the court is set by law and cannot be extended or suspended. Thus, contacting the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for more information or receiving other correspondence from the IRS won't change the allowable period for filing a petition with the Tax Court. | |
| If you file a timely petition, the Tax Court will have jurisdiction to make a declaration with respect to all items (other than partnership items and affected items) for the taxable year to which this NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT relates. | |
| If you do not file a timely petition, the adjustments to non-partnership items as determined in this NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT shall be deemed correct. However, the adjustments may be contested if a subsequent NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT is issued for the same taxable year or in a refund claim filed if any tax is later assessed. | |
| In both situations above, any tax from the determined non-partnership adjustments may be assessed as part of a computational adjustment that is made in connection with any partnership proceeding or included in the amount of a deficiency attributable to affected items. | |
| As required by law, separate notices are sent to husbands and wives. If this letter is addressed to both husband and wife and both want to petition the Tax Court, both must sign and file the petition or each must file a separate, signed petition. | |
| If you should need any help, whether it is to answer questions you have about this letter or to access your tax information, the person identified on the front of this letter may assist you. You may write to or call this contact person by using the name, telephone number, and IRS address shown on the first page of this letter.

Keep the original letter for your records. If you prefer to call and the telephone number is outside your local calling area, there will be a long distance charge to you. | |

The Taxpayer Advocate Service can help you if you have tried unsuccessfully to resolve a problem with the IRS or you have a significant hardship as a result of a tax problem. The Taxpayer Advocate is not able to reverse legally correct tax determinations, nor extend the time fixed by law that you have to file a petition in the U.S. Tax Court.
