Partnership Income and Separately Stated Items

Ordinary Income and Special Tax Items

A partnership computes ordinary business income while separately reporting certain items that receive special tax treatment at the partner level. These separately stated items retain their character after passing through.

  • Ordinary business income.
  • Capital gains and losses.
  • Interest income.
  • Dividend income.
  • Charitable contributions.
  • Section 1231 gains and losses.
  • Tax credits.
Note
Separately stated items preserve their tax character when reported by partners.
Summary
Partners must report separately stated items independently from ordinary business income.
