Notes*
A publicly traded partnership is any partnership an interest in which is regularly traded on an established securities market regardless of the number of its partners. This does not include a publicly traded partnership treated as a corporation under section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code.
A publicly traded partnership that has effectively connected income, gain, or loss must pay withholding tax on any distributions of that income made to its foreign partners. In this situation, a publicly traded partnership must use Form 1042 and 1042-S (Income Code 27) to report withholding from distributions. The rate of withholding is 35%.
For more information about the withholding requirements for publicly traded partnerships, refer to Rules Applicable to Publicly Traded Partnerships and Revenue Procedure 89-31, as amended by Revenue Procedure 92-66
