Subject: ยง 170(e)(3) -- Contribution by Corporate Partner
Per our discussion earlier today, it is the view of * * * that Subchapter K provides that charitable contributions are to be taken into account by partners as if they themselves made the contributions. * * * found nothing in the legislative history of section 170(e)(3) that indicates it would not apply to C corporation partners of a partnership, and thus concurs with the views of * * * Therefore, a C corporation that is a partner in a partnership can take the enhanced deduction (if the charitable contribution is otherwise a qualified contribution as provided in section 170(e)(3)) for a charitable contribution made by the partnership as, under Subchapter K, C corporation is treated as though C corporation actually made its distributive share of the contribution.
Please feel free to contact * * *at * * *, or myself if you have any further questions.
