ACTION: Final and temporary regulations. AGENCY: This document contains final and temporary regulations that clarify the employment tax treatment of partners in a partnership that owns a disregarded entity. These regulations affect partners in a partnership that owns a disregarded entity. The text of these temporary regulations serves as the text of proposed regulations (REG– 114307–15) published in the Proposed Rules section in this issue of the Federal Register. DATES: Effective date: These regulations are effective on May 4, 2016. asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:12 May 03, 2016 Jkt 238001 Applicability date: For date of applicability, see § 301–7701–2T(e)(8). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew K. Holubeck at (202) 317–4774 (not a toll-free number). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Section 301.7701–2(c)(2)(i) states that, except as otherwise provided, a business entity that has a single owner and is not a corporation under § 301.7701–2(b) is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner (a disregarded entity). However, § 301.7701–2(c)(2)(iv)(B) provides that an entity that is a disregarded entity is treated as a corporation for purposes of employment taxes imposed under subtitle C of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). Therefore, the disregarded entity, rather than the owner, is considered to be the employer of the entity’s employees for purposes of employment taxes imposed by subtitle C. While § 301.7701–2(c)(2)(iv)(B) treats a disregarded entity as a corporation for employment tax purposes, this rule does not apply for self-employment tax purposes. Specifically, § 301.7701– 2(c)(2)(iv)(C)(2) provides that the general rule of § 301.7701–2(c)(2)(i) applies for self-employment tax purposes. After setting forth this general rule, the regulation applies this rule in the context of a single individual owner by stating that the owner of an entity that is treated in the same manner as a sole proprietorship is subject to tax on self-employment income. The regulation, at § 301.7701–2(c)(2)(iv)(D), also includes an example that specifically illustrates the mechanics of the rule. In the example, the disregarded entity is subject to employment tax with respect to employees of the disregarded entity. The individual owner, however, is subject to self-employment tax on the net earnings from self-employment resulting from the disregarded entity’s activities. The regulations do not include a separate example in which the disregarded entity is owned by a partnership. It has come to the attention of the Treasury Department and the IRS that even though the regulations set forth a general rule that an entity is disregarded as a separate entity from the owner for self-employment tax purposes, some taxpayers may have read the current regulations to permit the treatment of individual partners in a partnership that owns a disregarded entity as employees of the disregarded entity because the regulations did not include a specific example applying the general rule in the PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 26693 partnership context. Under this reading, which was not intended, some taxpayers have permitted partners to participate in certain tax-favored employee benefit plans. The Treasury Department and the IRS note that the regulations did not create a distinction between a disregarded entity owned by an individual (that is, a sole proprietorship) and a disregarded entity owned by a partnership in the application of the self-employment tax rule. Rather, § 301.7701–2(c)(2)(iv)(C)(2) provides that the general rule of § 301.7701–2(c)(2)(i) applies for selfemployment tax purposes for any owner of a disregarded entity without carving out an exception regarding a partnership that owns such a disregarded entity. In addition, the Treasury Department and the IRS do not believe that the regulations alter the holding of Rev. Rul. 69–184, 1969–1 CB 256, which provides that: (1) Bona fide members of a partnership are not employees of the partnership within the meaning of the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, the Federal Unemployment Tax Act, and the Collection of Income Tax at Source on Wages (chapters 21, 23, and 24, respectively, subtitle C, Internal Revenue Code of 1954), and (2) such a partner who devotes time and energy in the conduct of the trade or business of the partnership, or in providing services to the partnership as an independent contractor, is, in either event, a selfemployed individual rather than an individual who, under the usual common law rules applicable in determining the employer-employee relationship, has the status of an employee. To address this issue, the Treasury Department and the IRS clarify in these temporary regulations that the rule that a disregarded entity is treated as a corporation for employment tax purposes does not apply to the selfemployment tax treatment of any individuals who are partners in a partnership that owns a disregarded entity. The rule that the entity is disregarded for self-employment tax purposes applies to partners in the same way that it applies to a sole proprietor owner. Accordingly, the partners are subject to the same self-employment tax rules as partners in a partnership that does not own a disregarded entity. Explanation of Provisions This document contains amendments to the Procedure and Administration Regulations (26 CFR part 301) under section 7701 of the Code to clarify that a disregarded entity that is treated as a corporation for purposes of employment taxes imposed under subtitle C of the E:\FR\FM\04MYR1.SGM 04MYR1
