How you enter the depletion information depends upon how the much detail you have from the partnership. If the partnership provided you with property-by-property detail of the oil and gas activities, use #2 below. If such detail is not provided, then please proceed to #1 below.

For example, if the partnership made an election under Regulations section 1.1411-10(g) for a CFC the stock of which is owned by the partnership, and the relevant income and deduction items derived from that CFC are reported elsewhere on the Schedule K-3, then you will not need the information provided in code Y to complete your Form 8960.
