    Partnerships are taxed under section 1.441-1 which describes all conditions and rules for partnerships in tax payment. Section 706 and 1.706-1 are also helpful in this case. The main issue for partnerships is the taxable year which basically is the year in which they pay their taxes. These sections describe the taxable year of partnerships and give guidelines in accordance to that. Under section 706, partnerships are directed to pay taxes in the year in which majority interest pays taxes. However, this is not applicable to all partnerships. There can be cases in which this is absent and in those cases it has been directed to pay taxes in the year when majority of the partners are paying tax (Freedley, 1883). These are called principal partners. But in cases where principal partners and majority interest are absent then the partnership can pay tax in the year they get the minimum aggregate amount of their deferred income.…
