Prop. Regs. discuss disguised sales
Article Abstract:
The IRS has issued Proposed Regulations regulating transfers of interests in partnerships. To be genuine, the transfer must represent an exchange of a contribution to the partnership for an entrepreneurial interest. If this exchange does not occur, the transaction will be recognized as a disguised sale under Proposed Regulations for Section 707(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. Disguised sales are exchanges between the partnership and persons other than members of the partnership. Transfers made more than two years apart between a partnership and a partner are not recognized as sales, while transfers made within two years are recognized as sales.
