Abstract: The Treasury Department and the IRS published final regulations (TD 9866) in the Federal Register (84 FR 29288) under § 951A (final regulations). The final regulations adopted “aggregate treatment” with respect to income inclusion amounts arising from section 951A (the global intangible low tax income inclusion or GILTI) for partnerships. Under aggregate treatment, for purposes of determining the GILTI inclusion amount of any partner of a domestic partnership, each partner is treated as proportionately owning the stock of a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) owned by the partnership within the meaning of § 958(a) in the same manner as if the domestic partnership were a foreign partnership. Because only a U.S. person that is a U.S. shareholder can have a GILTI inclusion amount, a partner that is not a U.S. shareholder of a partnership-owned CFC does not have a GILTI inclusion amount determined by reference to the partnership-owned CFC. Section 1.951A-1(e)(1) applies to taxable years of foreign corporations beginning after December 31, 2017, and to taxable years of U.S. shareholders in which or with which such taxable years of foreign corporations’ end.

Emergency Justfication: (Notice 2020-XX (S Corporation Guidance under Section 958 (Rules for Determining Stock Ownership) and Guidance Regarding the Treatment of Qualified Improvement Property under the Alternative Depreciation System for Purposes of the QBAI Rules for FDII and GILTI)) This notice provides a transition rule for those S corporations that were impacted by the key rule change set forth in the GILTI final regulations. S corporations and their shareholders (if applicable) file a white paper election with their returns to apply the transition rule. This transition rule will result in a material change in the Federal income tax consequences of the GILTI rules as applied to certain S corporations. However, by September 15, 2020, S corporations must file a 2019 calendar year income tax return (Form 1120-S) and pay any tax, interest, and penalties due. To provide S corporations with sufficient time to take the transition rule into account in preparing their original 2019 Federal income tax returns (filed under extension), the Treasury Department and the IRS intend to release the Notice on August 31, 2020. Taxpayers have until March 15, 2021 to file the election on an amended 2019 return or with their 2020 returns. In light of the short timeline to provide guidance regarding this aspect of the GILTI rules, the IRS plans to issue the Notice on August 31, 2020, and thus requests approval of the control number by that date. Given the inability to seek public comment during such a short timeframe, IRS respectfully requests a waiver from the requirement to publish notice in the Federal Register seeking public comment during the period of Office of Management and Budget review.
