These corrections are effective on *June 11, 2020,* and applicable as of April 29, 2008.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

**Background**

The final regulations (TD 9394) that are the subject of this correction are under section 1446 of the Code.

**Need for Correction**

As published on April 29, 2008 (73 FR 23069), the final regulations (TD 9394; FR Doc. E8-9356) contained errors that need to be corrected.

**List of Subjects in 26 CFR Part 1**

**Correction of Publication**

Accordingly, 26 CFR part 1 is corrected by making the following correcting amendments:

**PART 1—INCOME TAXES**

**26 CFR Part 1**

*Paragraph 1.* The authority citation for part 1 continues to read in part as follows:

**Authority:**

26 U.S.C. 7805 * * *

**26 CFR Part 1**

*Par. 2.* Section 1.1446-3 is amended by adding paragraph (b)(2)(i)(B) to read as follows:

§ 1.1446-3

(b) * * *

(2) * * *

(i) * * *

(B) *Calculation rules when certificates are submitted under § 1.1446-6* —( *1* ) To the extent applicable, in computing the 1446 tax due with respect to a foreign partner, a partnership may consider a certificate received from such partner under § 1.1446-6(c)(1)(i) or (ii) and the amount of state and local taxes permitted to be considered under § 1.1446-6(c)(1)(iii). For the purposes of applying this paragraph (b)(2)(i)(B), a partnership shall first annualize the partner's allocable share of the partnership's items of effectively connected income, gain, deduction, and loss before—

( *i* ) Considering under § 1.1446-6(c)(1)(i) the partner's certified deductions and losses;

( *ii* ) Determining under § 1.1446-6(c)(1)(ii) whether the 1446 tax otherwise due with respect to that partner is less than $1,000 (determined with regard to any certified deductions or losses); or

( *iii* ) Considering under § 1.1446-6(c)(1)(iii) the amount of state and local taxes withheld and remitted on behalf of the partner.

( *2* ) The amount of the limitation provided in § 1.1446-6(c)(1)(i)(C) shall be based on the partner's allocable share of these annualized amounts. For any installment period in which the partnership considers a partner's certificate, the partnership must also consider the following events to the extent they occur prior to the due date for paying the 1446 tax for such installment period—

( *i* ) The receipt of an updated certificate or status update from the partner under § 1.1446-6(c)(2)(ii)(B) certifying an amount of deductions or losses that is less than the amount reflected on the superseded certificate (see § 1.1446-6(e)(2) *Example 4* );

( *ii* ) The failure to receive an updated certificate or status update from the partner that should have been provided under § 1.1446-6(c)(2)(ii)(B); and

( *iii* ) The receipt of a notification from the IRS under § 1.1446-6(c)(3) or (5) (see § 1.1446-6(e)(2) *Example 5* ).
