IRS administrative guidance

What it holds

A partnership that renovated a building it owned, demolishing parts of the exterior walls, windows, doors, roof coverings, interior partitions and finishes, plumbing fixtures, sprinklers, lighting and branch wiring, and HVAC components, but did not make the partial disposition election on its timely return, was granted 9100 relief under Treas. Reg. §§301.9100-1 and 301.9100-3: 60 days to make the election under Treas. Reg. §1.168(i)-8(d)(2) on an amended return for that year, with the ruling attached.

Why it matters for your study: When a study finds building components retired in a renovation year whose return missed the partial disposition election, a 9100 ruling request is a real path to deduct their remaining basis. The ruling expressed no opinion on the basis amounts, methods or eligibility. Not precedent (IRC §6110(k)(3)); it shows the IRS grants this relief when the taxpayer relied on its adviser and the statute of limitations is open.
