Note 4 – Income Taxes
The Partnership is not taxed on its income. The partners are taxed in their individual capacities based upon their distributive share of the Partnership’s taxable income or loss and are allowed the benefits to be derived from offsetting their distributive share of the tax losses against taxable income from other sources subject to passive loss limitations. The taxable income or loss differs from amounts included in the statements of operations because different methods are used in determining the losses of the Local Limited Partnership as discussed below. The taxable income is allocated to the partner groups in accordance with Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and therefore is not necessarily proportionate to the interest percentage owned.
