These regulations provide guidance on
the treatment of self-charged items of income and expense under
section 469. The regulations recharacterize a percentage of certain
portfolio income and expense as passive income and expense
(self-charged items) when a taxpayer engages in a lending
transaction with a partnership or an S corporation (passthrough
entity) in which the taxpayer owns a direct or indirect interest
and the loan proceeds are used in a passive activity. Similar rules
apply to lending transactions between two identically owned
passthrough entities. These final regulations affect taxpayers
subject to the limitations on passive activity losses and
credits.
US Code:
26
USC 469 Name of Law: Passive activity losses and credits
limited.
