Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 73 / Monday, April 16, 2012 / Proposed Rules Facts. X owned property (Property 1). On January 1, Year 2, Property 1 had a fair market value of $100 and a basis of $70, and X was not subject to section 1374 treatment with respect to Property 1. On that date, when Property 1 was under a threat of condemnation, X sold Property 1 to an unrelated party for $100 (First Transaction). X elected to defer gain recognition under section 1033(a)(2), and purchased qualifying replacement property (Property 2) for $100 from Y (Second Transaction) prior to the expiration of the period described in section 1033(a)(2)(B). (ii) Analysis. The transfer of Property 2 by Y to X in the Second Transaction is a conversion transaction within the meaning of paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section. The Second Transaction (combined with the First Transaction) qualified for nonrecognition treatment under section 1033(a) as to X, but not as to Y. Assume no nonrecognition provision applied to Y; thus, Y recognized gain or loss on its sale of Property 2 in the Second Transaction, and the Second Transaction is not subject to paragraph (a) of this section by reason of paragraph (d)(3)(i) of this section. emcdonald on DSK29S0YB1PROD with PROPOSALS (e) Special rule for partnerships—(1) In general. The principles of this section apply to property transferred by a partnership to a RIC or REIT to the extent of any gain or loss in the converted property that would be allocated directly or indirectly, through one or more partnerships, to a C corporation if the partnership sold the converted property to an unrelated party at fair market value on the deemed sale date (as defined in paragraph (c)(3) of this section). If the partnership were to elect deemed sale treatment under paragraph (c) of this section in lieu of section 1374 treatment under paragraph (b) of this section with respect to such transfer, then any net gain recognized by the partnership on the deemed sale must be allocated to the C corporation partner, but does not increase the capital account of any partner. Any adjustment to the partnership’s basis in the RIC or REIT stock as a result of deemed sale treatment under paragraph (c) of this section shall constitute an adjustment to the basis of that stock with respect to the C corporation partner only. The principles of section 743 apply to such basis adjustment. (2) Example. Transfer by partnership of property to REIT. (i) Facts. PRS, a partnership for Federal income tax purposes, has three partners: TE, a tax-exempt entity (within the meaning of § 1.337(d)–7(a)(2)(vi)), owns 50 percent of the capital and profits of PRS; A, an individual, owns 30 percent of the capital and profits of PRS; and Y, a C corporation (within the meaning of § 1.337(d)–7(a)(2)(i)), owns the remaining 20 percent. PRS owns a building that it leases for commercial use (Property 1). On January 1, Year 2, when PRS has an adjusted basis in Property 1 of $100 and Property 1 has a fair market value of VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:34 Apr 13, 2012 Jkt 226001 $500, PRS transfers Property 1 to X, a REIT, in exchange for stock of X in an exchange described in section 351. PRS does not elect deemed sale treatment under paragraph (c) of this section. (ii) Analysis. The transfer of Property 1 by PRS to X is a conversion transaction within the meaning of paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section to the extent of any gain or loss that would be allocated to any C corporation partner if PRS sold Property 1 at fair market value to an unrelated party on the deemed sale date. Y is a C corporation, but neither TE nor A is a C corporation within the meaning of paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section. Therefore, the transfer of Property 1 by PRS to X is a conversion transaction within the meaning of paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section to the extent of Y’s share of any such gain of PRS in Property 1. If PRS were to sell Property 1 to an unrelated party at fair market value on the deemed sale date, PRS would allocate $80 of built-in gain to Y. Thus, X is subject to section 1374 treatment on Property 1 with respect to $80 of built-in gain. (f) Effective/Applicability date—(1) In general. Except as provided in paragraph (f)(2) of this section, this section applies to conversion transactions that occur on or after January 2, 2002. For conversion transactions that occurred on or after June 10, 1987, and before January 2, 2002, see §§ 1.337(d)–5 and 1.337(d)–6. (2) Special rule. Paragraphs (a)(2), (d)(1), (d)(3) and (e) of this section apply to conversion transactions that occur on or after [INSERT DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE TREASURY DECISION ADOPTING THESE RULES AS FINAL REGULATIONS IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. However, taxpayers may apply paragraphs (a)(2), (d)(1), (d)(3) and (e) of this section to conversion transactions that occurred before [INSERT DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE TREASURY DECISION ADOPTING THESE RULES AS FINAL REGULATIONS IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. For conversion transactions that occurred on or after January 2, 2002 and before [INSERT DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE TREASURY DECISION ADOPTING THESE RULES AS FINAL REGULATIONS IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER], see § 1.337(d)–7 as contained in 26 CFR part 1 in effect on April 1, 2011.
