Section 6223, unlike section 6212, does not use the term "last known address" . For purposes of issuing the notices specified in section 6223(a), including an FPAA, the Commissioner is required to use names, addresses, and profits interests as shown on the partnership return for the year at issue as modified by additional information furnished by the tax matters partner or any other person in accordance with regulations prescribed by the

at 99, the Court stated that, “[a]lthough it is unclear whether the ‘notice’ refers to the NBAP or the FPAA, because the FPAA is the later notice in this case, we will presume the FPAA is the operative notice.” This Court also added in a footnote: “The current regulation clarifies that the FPAA is the operative notice, but that regulation became effective on Oc

However, we need not decide this question.

We disagree with petitioners' assertions that the IRS failed to give proper notice ofthe FPAA and that the deficiency notice is invalid.

Within 30 days of receiving any IRS notice pursuant to section 6223(a), such as the NBAP or the FPAA, the pass-thru partner must forward a copy of that notice to the indirect partners.

MEMORANDUM FINDINGS OF FACT AND OPINION THORNTON, Judge: Pursuant to section 6223¹ respondent issued a notice offinal partnership administrative adjustment (FPAA) for 2012 to Sugar Land ¹All section references are to the Internal Revenue Code in effect at all relevant times, and all Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules ofPractice and Procedure, unless otherwise indicated.

To make adjustments in a TEFRA proceeding the Commissioner must send an FPAA to the TMP pursuant to section 6223(a).

To make adjustments in a TEFRA proceeding the Commissioner must send an FPAA to the TMP pursuant to section 6223(a).

To make adjustments in a TEFRA proceeding the Commissioner must send an FPAA to the TMP pursuant to section 6223(a).

We hold that the notice requirements under section 6223 do not invalidate the FPAA issued 10 days after the issue date ofthe NBAP.

MEMORANDUM OPINION MARVEL, Judge: Respondent issued a notice offinal partnership administrative adjustment (FPAA) pursuant to section 6223¹ to UN Limited, the tax matters partner (TMP) ofAmerican Milling, LP (American Milling), for 2000, ¹Unless otherwise indicated, all section references are to the Internal Revenue Code (Code) in effect for the years at issue.

We hold that the second FPAA is invalid (and thus disregarded) because section 6223(f) precluded respondent from properly mailing the second FPAA to petitioner.

The Gregorys have shown : (cid:127) They made the elections exactly 45 days after the IRS sent the FPAA to the TMP ; (cid:127) Each election clearly stated that it was "made by the undersigned pursuant to Section 6223(e)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code to have the partnership items of the Indirect Partner treated as nonpartnership items" ; (cid:127) Each election also clearly stated the identity of both the indirect partner and the partnership by name, address, and taxpayer identification, as

We hold that the notice requirement was met .

Such notices or letters do not include notices issued pursuant to section 6223 relating to TEFRA partnership proceedings.

And unlike the TMP, they cannot file a petition to challenge an FPAA. § 6226(b); Energy Res., Ltd. v. Commissioner, 91 T.C. 913, 916 (1988). Mr. Pettennude was not entitled to direct notice because he had a less than one-percent profits interest in Ecotec, which had more than 100 partners. The issuance of an FPAA to the TMP constitutes adequate notice to non-notice partners. We have held that the TEFRA provisions denying direct notice to non-notice partners do not violate due process because the

The Bedrosians are not identified on the face of the partnership return, and there is nothing in the record to indicate that their identifying information was provided in accordance with the regulations under sec. 6223. See Taylor v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1992-219. However, we need not decide this question. The current regulation clarifies that the FPAA is the operative notice, but that regulation became effective on October 4, 2001, for partnership ye

He argues that the word “partner” in section 6223 refers to the person holding any such interest, not to that person in his capacity as holder of a particular partnership interest.

Section 6223 requires the Commissioner to “mail to each partner whose name and address is furnished to * * * [him] notice[s] of * * * the beginning of an administrative proceeding at the partnership level with respect to a partnership item, and * * * the final partnership administrative adjustment resulting from any such proceeding.” As mentioned a

We must now determine whether any of the mailings was sufficient to meet the notice requirement of section 6223 (a ) A .

To the contrary, section 6223(g) provides, in part, that “the tax matters partner of a partnership shall keep each partner informed of all administrative and judicial proceedings for the adjustment at the partnership level of partnership items.” In other words, to the extent that Whitman’s limited partners were entitled to notice regarding respondent’s making of th

As previously mentioned, under the facts of this case the address to which respondent mailed the notice of deficiency is irrelevant because petitioner received the notice and filed a timely petition. Regardless, as pertinent here, sectio

Section 6223 provides that the Commissioner shall furnish to each partner whose name and ad.dress is supplied to the Commissioner, notice of the beginning of an administrative proceeding at the partnership level and notice of the final partnership administrative adjustment resulting from such proceeding.

In University Heights, we held that, once an S corporation has received a valid FSAA as required by section 6223, and filed a timely petition as required by section 6226 "the scope of our judicial review allows us to determine all subchapter S items of the corporation * * * to which the notice of FSAA relates".

also filed his Opposition to Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on September 11, 1997, on the ground that the Partnership did not fall within the small partnership exception to the unified audit provisions of sections 6221 through 6233 and, since respondent failed to issue a Notice of Final Partnership Administrative Adjustment (FPAA) pursuant to section 6223, the 3-year period of limitations for assessment set forth in section 6229(a) has expired.

Second, it specifically violates the notice rules of Code §6223 when a notice partner does not receive the notice of FPAA.

A notice partner is “a partner who, at the time in question, would be entitled to notice under subsection (a) of section 6223.” § 6231(a)(8).
