    CHAPTER I--INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 
                               (CONTINUED)
 
PART 1_INCOME TAXES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1.67-2T  Treatment of pass-through entities (temporary).

    (a) Application of section 67. This section provides rules for the 
application of section 67 to partners, shareholders, beneficiaries, 
participants, and others with respect to their interests in pass-through 
entities (as defined in paragraph (g) of this section). In general, an 
affected investor (as defined in paragraph (h) of this section) in a 
pass-through entity shall separately take into account as an item of 
income and as an item of expense an amount equal to his or her allocable 
share of the affected expenses (as defined in paragraph (i) of this 
section) of the pass-through entity for purposes of determining his or 
her taxable income. Except as provided in paragraph (e)(1)(ii)(B) of 
this section, the expenses so taken into account shall be treated as 
paid or incurred by the affected investor in the same manner as paid or 
incurred by the pass-through entity. For rules regarding the application 
of section 67 to affected investors in--
    (1) Partnerships, S corporations, and grantor trusts, see paragraph 
(b) of this section,
    (2) Real estate mortgage investment conduits, see paragraph (c) of 
this section,
    (3) Common trust funds, see paragraph (d) of this section,
    (4) Nonpublicly offered regulated investment companies, see 
paragraph (e) of this section, and
    (5) Publicly offered regulated investment companies, see paragraph 
(p) of this section.
    (b) Partnerships, S corporations, and grantor trusts--(1) In 
general. Pursuant to section 702(a) and 1366(a) of the Code and the 
regulations thereunder, each partner of a partnership or shareholder of 
an S corporation shall take into account separately his or her 
distributive or pro rata share of any items of deduction of such 
partnership or corporation that are defined as miscellaneous itemized 
deductions pursuant to section 67(b). The 2-percent limitation described 
in section 67 does not apply to the partnership or corporation with 
respect to such deductions, but such deductions shall be included in the 
deductions of the partner or shareholder to which that limitation 
applies. Similarly, the limitation applies to the grantor or other 
person treated as the owner of a grantor trust with respect to items 
that are paid or incurred by a grantor trust and are treated as 
miscellaneous itemized deductions of the grantor or other person 
pursuant to Subpart E, Part 1, Subchapter J, Chapter 1 of the Code, but 
not to the trust itself. The 2-percent limitation applies to amounts 
otherwise deductible in taxable years of partners, shareholders, or 
grantors beginning after December 31, 1986, regardless of the taxable 
year of the partnership, corporation, or trust.
    (2) Example. The provisions of this paragraph (b) may be illustrated 
by the following example:

    Example. P, a partnership, incurs $1,000 in expenses to which 
section 212 applies during its taxable year. A, an individual, is a 
partner in P. A's distributive share of the expenses to which section 
212 applies is $20, determined without regard to the 2-percent 
limitation of section 67. Pursuant to section 702(a), A must take $20 of 
expenses to which section 212 applies into account in determining his 
income tax. Pursuant to section 67, in determining his taxable income A 
may deduct his miscellaneous itemized deductions (including his $20 
distributive share of deductions from P) to the extent the total amount 
exceeds 2 percent of his adjusted gross income.

    (c) Real estate mortgage investment conduit. See Sec. 1.67-3T for 
rules regarding the application of section 67 to holders of interests in 
REMICs.
    (d) Common trust funds--(1) In general. For purposes of determining 
the taxable income of an affected investor that is a participant in a 
common trust fund--
    (i) The ordinary taxable income and ordinary net loss of the common 
trust fund shall be computed under section 584(d)(2) without taking into 
account any affected expenses, and
    (ii) Each affected investor shall be treated as having paid or 
incurred an expense described in section 212 in an amount equal to the 
affected investor's proportionate share of the affected expenses.

The 2-percent limitation described in section 67 applies to amounts 
otherwise deductible in taxable years of participants beginning after 
December 31, 1986, regardless of the taxable year of the common trust 
fund.
    (2) Example. The provisions of this paragraph (d) may be illustrated 
by the following example:

    Example. During 1987, the gross income and deductions of common 
trust fund C, a calendar year taxpayer, consist of the following items: 
(i) $50,000 of short-term capital gains; (ii) $150,000 of long-term 
capital gains; (iii) $1,000,000 of dividend income; (iv) $10,000 of 
deductions that are not affected expenses; and (v) $60,000 of deductions 
that are affected expenses. The proportionate share of Trust T in the 
income and losses of C is one percent. In computing its taxable income 
for 1987, T, a calendar year taxpayer, shall take into account the 
following items: (A) $500 of short-term capital gains (one percent of 
$50,000, C's short-term capital gains); (B) $1,500 of long-term capital 
gains (one percent of $150,000, C's long-term capital gains); (C) $9,900 
of ordinary taxable income (one percent of $990,000, the excess of 
$100,000, C's gross income after excluding capital gains and losses, 
over $10,000, C's deductions that are not affected expenses); (D) $600 
of expenses described in section 212 (one percent of $60,000, C's 
affected expenses).

    (e) Nonpublicly offered regulated investment companies--(1) In 
general. For purposes of determining the taxable income of an affected 
investor that is a shareholder of a nonpublicly offered regulated 
investment company (as defined in paragraph (g)(3) of this section) 
during a calendar year--
    (i) The current earnings and profits of the nonpublicly offered 
regulated investment company shall be computed without taking into 
account any affected RIC expenses that are allocated among affected 
investors, and
    (ii) The affected investor shall be treated--
    (A) As having received or accrued a dividend in an amount equal to 
the affected investor's allocable share of the affected RIC expenses of 
the nonpublicly offered regulated investment company for the calendar 
year, and
    (B) As having paid or incurred an expense described in section 212 
(or section 162 in the case of an affected investor that is a 
nonpublicly offered regulated investment company) in an amount equal to 
the affected investor's allocable share of the affected RIC expenses of 
the nonpublicly offered regulated investment company for the calendar 
year

in the affected investor's taxable year with which (or within which) the 
calendar year with respect to which the expenses are allocated ends. An 
affected investor's allocable share of the affected RIC expenses is the 
amount allocated to that affected investor pursuant to paragraph (k) of 
this section.
    (2) Shareholders that are not affected investors. A shareholder of a 
nonpublicly offered regulated investment company that is not an affected 
investor shall not take into account in computing its taxable income any 
amount of income or expense with respect to its allocable share of 
affected RIC expenses.
    (3) Example. The provisions of this paragraph (e) may be illustrated 
by the following example:

    Example. During calendar year 1987, nonpublicly offered regulated 
investment company M distributes to individual shareholder A, a calendar 
year taxpayer, capital gain dividends of $1,000 and other dividends of 
$5,000. A's allocable share of the affected RIC expenses of M is $200. 
In computing A's taxable income for 1987, A shall take into account the 
following items: (i) $1,000 of long-term capital gains (the capital gain 
dividends received by A); (ii) $5,200 of dividend income (the sum of the 
other dividends received by A and A's allocable share of the affected 
RIC expenses of M); and (iii) $200 of expenses described in section 212 
(A's allocable share of the affected RIC expenses of M). A is

[[Page 115]]

allowed a deduction for miscellaneous itemized deductions (including A's 
$200 allocable share of the affected RIC expenses of M, which is treated 
as an expense described in section 212) for 1987 only to the extent the 
aggregate of such deductions exceeds 2 percent of A's adjusted gross 
income for 1987.

    (f) Cross-reference. See Sec. 1.67-1T with respect to limitations 
on deductions for expenses described in section 212 (including amounts 
treated as such expenses under this section).
    (g) Pass-through entity--(1) In general. Except as provided in 
paragraph (g)(2) of this section, for purposes of section 67(c) and this 
section, a pass-through entity is--
    (i) A trust (or any portion thereof) to which Subpart E, Part 1, 
Subchapter J, Chapter 1 of the Code applies,
    (ii) A partnership,
    (iii) An S corporation,
    (iv) A common trust fund described in section 584,
    (v) A nonpublicly offered regulated investment company,
    (vi) A real estate mortgage investment conduit, and
    (vii) Any other person--
    (A) Which is not subject to the income tax imposed by Subtitle A, 
Chapter 1, or which is allowed a deduction in computing such tax for 
distributions to owners or beneficiaries, and
    (B) The character of the income of which may affect the character of 
the income recognized with respect to that person by its owners or 
beneficiaries.

Entities that do not meet the requirements of paragraph (g)(1)(vii) (A) 
and (B) of this section, such as qualified pension plans, individual 
retirement accounts, and insurance companies holding assets in separate 
asset accounts to fund variable contracts defined in section 817(d), are 
not described in this paragraph (g)(1).
    (2) Exception. For purposes of section 67(c) and this section, a 
pass-through entity does not include:
    (i) An estate;
    (ii) A trust (or any portion thereof) not described in paragraph 
(g)(1)(i) of this section,
    (iii) A cooperative described in section 1381(a)(2), determined 
without regard to subparagraphs (A) and (C) thereof, or
    (iv) A real estate investment trust.
    (3) Nonpublicly offered regulated investment company--(i) In 
general. For purposes of this section, the term ``nonpublicly offered 
regulated investment company'' means a regulated investment company to 
which Part I of Subchapter M of the Code applies that is not a publicly 
offered regulated investment company.
    (ii) Publicly offered regulated investment company. For purposes of 
this section, the term ``publicly offered regulated investment company'' 
means a regulated investment company to which Part I of Subchapter M of 
the Code applies the shares of which are--
    (A) Continuously offered pursuant to a public offering (within the 
meaning of section 4 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (15 
U.S.C. 77a to 77aa)),
    (B) Regularly traded on an established securities market, or
    (C) Held by or for no fewer than 500 persons at all times during the 
taxable year.
    (h) Affected investor--(1) In general. For purposes of this section, 
the term ``affected investor'' means a partner, shareholder, 
beneficiary, participant, or other interest holder in a pass-through 
entity at any time during the pass-through entity's taxable year that 
is--
    (i) An individual (other than a nonresident alien whose income with 
respect to his or her interest in the pass-through entity is not 
effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the 
United States),
    (ii) A person, including a trust or estate, that computes its 
taxable income in the same manner as in the case of an individual; or
    (iii) A pass-through entity if one or more of its partners, 
shareholders, beneficiaries, participants, or other interest holders is 
(A) a pass-through entity or (B) a person described in paragraph (h)(1) 
(i) or (ii) of this section.
    (2) Examples. The provisions of this paragraph (h) may be 
illustrated by the following examples:

    Example (1). Corporation X holds shares of nonpublicly offered 
regulated investment company R in its capacity as a nominee or custodian 
for individual A, the beneficial owner of the shares. Because the owner 
of the shares for Federal income tax purposes is

[[Page 116]]

an individual, the shares are owned by an affected investor.
    Example (2). Individual retirement account I owns shares of a 
nonpublicly offered regulated investment company. Because an individual 
retirement account is not a person described in paragraph (h)(1) of this 
section, the shares are not owned by an affected investor.

    (i) Affected expenses--(1) In general. In general, for purposes of 
this section, the term ``affected expenses'' means expenses that, if 
paid or incurred by an individual, would be deductible, if at all, as 
miscellaneous itemized deductions as defined in section 67(b).
    (2) Special rule for nonpublicly offered regulated investment 
companies. In the case of a nonpublicly offered regulated investment 
company, the term ``affected expenses'' means only affected RIC 
expenses.
    (j) Affected RIC expenses--(1) In general. In general, for purposes 
of this section the term ``affected RIC expenses'' means the excess of--
    (i) The aggregate amount of the expenses (other than expenses 
described in sections 62(a)(3) and 67(b) and Sec. 1.67-1T(b)) paid or 
incurred in the calendar year that are allowable as a deduction in 
determining the investment company taxable income (without regard to 
section 852(b)(2)(D)) of the nonpublicly offered regulated investment 
company for a taxable year that begins or ends with or within the 
calendar year, over
    (ii) The amount of expenses taken into account under paragraph 
(j)(1)(i) of this section that are allocable to the following items 
(whether paid separately or included as part of a fee paid to an 
investment advisor or other person for a variety of services):
    (A) Registration fees;
    (B) Directors' or trustees' fees;
    (C) Periodic meetings of directors, trustees, or shareholders;
    (D) Transfer agent fees;
    (E) Legal and accounting fees (other than fees for income tax return 
preparation or income tax advice); and
    (F) Shareholder communications required by law (e.g. the preparation 
and mailing of prospectuses and proxy statements).

Expenses described in paragraph (j)(1)(ii) (A) through (F) of this 
section do not include, for example, expenses allocable to investment 
advice, marketing activities, shareholder communications and other 
services not specifically described in paragraph (j)(1)(ii) (A) through 
(F) of this section, and custodian fees.
    (2) Safe harbor. If a nonpublicly offered regulated investment 
company makes an election under this paragraph (j)(2), the affected RIC 
expenses for a calendar year shall be treated as equal to 40 percent of 
the amount determined under paragraph (j)(1)(i) of this section for that 
calendar year. The nonpublicly offered regulated investment company 
shall make the election by attaching to its income tax return for the 
taxable year that includes the last day of the first calendar year for 
which the nonpublicly offered regulated investment company makes the 
election a statement that it is making an election under paragraph 
(j)(2) of this section. An election made pursuant to this paragraph 
(j)(2) shall remain in effect for all subsequent calendar years unless 
revoked with the consent of the Commissioner.
    (3) Reduction for unused RIC expenses. The amount determined under 
paragraph (j)(1)(i) of this section shall be reduced by the nonpublicly 
offered regulated investment company's net operating loss, if any, for 
the taxable year ending with or within the calendar year. In computing 
the nonpublicly offered regulated investment company's net operating 
loss for purposes of this section, the deduction for dividends paid 
shall not be allowed and any net capital gain for the taxable year shall 
be excluded.
    (4) Exception. The affected RIC expenses of a nonpublicly offered 
regulated investment company will be treated as zero if the amount of 
its gross income for the calendar year (determined without regard to 
capital gain net income) is not greater than 1 percent of the sum of (i) 
such gross income and (ii) the amount of its interest income for the 
calendar year that is not includible in gross income pursuant to section 
103.
    (k) Allocation of expenses among nonpublicly offered regulated 
investment company shareholders--(1) General rule. A nonpublicly offered 
regulated investment company shall allocate to each of

[[Page 117]]

its affected investors that is a shareholder at any time during the 
calendar year, the affected investor's allocable share of the affected 
RIC expenses of the nonpublicly offered regulated investment company for 
that calendar year. (See paragraph (m) of this section for rules 
regarding estimates with respect to the amount of an affected investor's 
share of affected RIC expenses upon which certain persons can rely for 
certain purposes.) A nonpublicly offered regulated investment company 
may use any reasonable method to make the allocation. A method of 
allocation shall not be reasonable if--
    (i) The method can be expected to have the effect, if applied to all 
affected RIC expenses and all shareholders (whether or not affected 
investors), of allocating to the shareholders an amount of affected RIC 
expenses that is less than the affected RIC expenses of the nonpublicly 
offered regulated investment company for the calendar year,
    (ii) The method can be expected to have the effect of allocating a 
disproportionately high share of the affected RIC expenses of the 
nonpublicly offered regulated investment company to shareholders that 
are not affected investors or affected investors, the amount of whose 
miscellaneous itemized deductions (including their allocable share of 
affected RIC expenses) exceeds the 2-percent floor described in section 
67, or
    (iii) A principal purpose of the method of allocation is to avoid 
allocating affected RIC expenses to persons described in paragraph 
(h)(1) (i) or (ii) of this section whose miscellaneous itemized 
deductions (inclusive of their allocable share of affected RIC expenses) 
may not exceed the 2-percent floor described in section 67.
    (2) Reasonable allocation method described--(i) In general. The 
allocation method described in this paragraph (k)(2) shall be treated as 
a reasonable allocation method. Under the method described in this 
paragraph, an affected investor's allocable share of the affected RIC 
expenses of a nonpublicly offered regulated investment company is the 
amount that bears the same ratio to the amount of affected RIC expenses 
of the nonpublicly offered regulated investment company for the calendar 
year as--
    (A) The amount of dividends paid to the affected investor during the 
calendar year, bears to
    (B) The sum of--
    (1) The aggregate amount of dividends paid by the nonpublicly 
offered regulated investment company during the calendar year to all 
shareholders, and
    (2) Any amount on which tax is imposed under section 852(b)(1) for 
any taxable year of the nonpublicly offered regulated investment company 
ending within or with the calendar year.
    (ii) Exception. Paragraph (k)(2)(i) of this section does not apply 
if the amount of the deduction for dividends paid during the calendar 
year is zero.
    (iii) Dividends paid. For purposes of this paragraph (k)(2)--
    (A) Dividends that are treated as paid during a calendar year 
pursuant to section 852(b)(7) are treated as paid during that calendar 
year and not during the succeeding calendar year.
    (B) The term ``dividends paid'' does not include capital gain 
dividends (as defined in section 852(b)(3)(C)), exempt-interest 
dividends (as defined in section 852(b)(5)(A)), or any amount to which 
section 302(a) applies.
    (C) The dividends paid during a calendar year is determined without 
regard to section 855(a).
    (3) Reasonable allocation made by District Director. If a 
nonpublicly offered regulated investment company does not make a 
reasonable allocation of affected RIC expenses to its affected investors 
as required by paragraph (k)(1) of this section, a reasonable allocation 
shall be made by the District Director of the internal revenue district 
in which the principal place of business or principal office or agency 
of the nonpublicly offered regulated investment company is located.
    (4) Examples. The provisions of this paragraph (k) may be 
illustrated by the following examples:

    Example (1). Nonpublicly offered regulated investment company M, in 
calculating its investment company taxable income, claims a dividends 
paid deduction for a portion of redemption distributions (to which 
section 302(a) applies) to shareholders, as well as for nonredemption 
distributions. M allocates affected expenses among shareholders who

[[Page 118]]

have received nonredemption distributions by multiplying the amount of 
nonredemption distributions distributed to each shareholder by a 
fraction, the numerator of which is the affected RIC expenses of M and 
the denominator of which is M's investment company taxable income, 
determined on a calendar year basis and without regard to deductions 
described in section 852(b)(2)(D). No affected RIC expenses are 
allocated with respect to the redemption distributions. This allocation 
method can be expected to have the effect of allocating among the 
shareholders an amount of expenses that is less than the total amount of 
affected RIC expenses of M. Accordingly, the allocation method is not 
reasonable.
    Example (2). Nonpublicly offered regulated investment company N has 
two classes of stock, a ``capital'' class and an ``income'' class. 
Owners of the capital class receive the benefit of all capital 
appreciation on the stocks owned by N, and bear the burden of certain 
capital expenditures of N; owners of the income class receive the 
benefit of all other income of N, and bear the burden of all expenses of 
N that are deductible under section 162. M allocates all affected RIC 
expenses among shareholders of the income class shares under a method 
that would be reasonable if the income class were the only class of N 
stock. Corporations and other shareholders that are not affected 
investors own a higher proportion of income class shares than of capital 
class shares. The affected RIC expenses of N are properly allocated 
among the shareholders who bear the burden of those expenses. 
Accordingly, the allocation method does not have the effect of 
allocating a disproportionately high share of the affected RIC expenses 
of N to shareholders that are not affected investors merely because a 
disproportionate share of income class shares are owned by shareholders 
that are not affected investors. The allocation method is reasonable.
    Example (3). Nonpublicly offered regulated investment company O has 
two classes of stock, Class A and Class B. Shares of Class A, which may 
be purchased without payment of a sales or brokerage commission, are 
charged with the expenses of a Rule 12b-1 distribution plan of O. Shares 
of Class B, which may be purchased only upon payment of a sales or 
brokerage commission, are not charged with the expenses of the Rule 12b-
1 distribution plan of O. O allocates all affected RIC expenses among 
shareholders of Class A and Class B shares under a method that would be 
reasonable if Class A or Class B shares, respectively, were the only 
class of O stock. The affected RIC expenses attributable to the Rule 
12b-1 plan are allocated to the shareholders of Class A shares. 
Shareholders that are not affected investors own a higher proportion of 
Class A shares than of Class B shares. The affected RIC expenses of O 
are properly allocated among the shareholders who bear the burden of 
those expenses. Accordingly, the allocation method does not have the 
effect of allocating a disproportionately high share of the affected RIC 
expenses of O to shareholders that are not affected investors merely 
because a disproportionately high share of Class A shares are owned by 
persons that are not affected investors. The allocation method is 
reasonable.
    Example (4). Assume the facts are the same as in example (3) except 
that a portion of the affected RIC expenses attributable to the Rule 
12b-1 plan are allocated to the shareholders of Class B shares, and 
shareholders that are not affected investors own a higher proportion of 
Class B shares than of Class A shares. Thus, the affected RIC expenses 
are not allocated among the class of shareholders that bear the burden 
of the expenses. Accordingly, the allocation method has the effect of 
allocating a disproportionate share of the affected RIC expenses of O to 
the shareholders of Class B shares. Because shareholders that are not 
affected investors own a higher proportion of Class B shares than Class 
A shares, the method can be expected to allocate a disproportionately 
high share of the affected RIC expenses of O to shareholders that are 
not affected investors. Accordingly, the allocation method is not 
reasonable.

    (l) Affected RIC expenses not subject to backup withholding. The 
amount of dividend income that an affected investor in a nonpublicly 
offered regulated investment company is treated as having received or 
accrued under paragraph (e)(1)(ii) of this section is not subject to 
backup withholding under section 3406.
    (m) Reliance by nominees and pass-through investors on notices--(1) 
General rule. Persons described in paragraph (m)(3) of this section may, 
for the purposes described in that paragraph (m)(3), treat an affected 
investor's allocable share of the affected RIC expenses of a nonpublicly 
offered regulated investment company as being equal to an amount 
determined by the nonpublicly offered regulated investment company on 
the basis of a reasonable estimate (e.g., of allocable expenses as a 
percentage of dividend distributions or allocable expenses per share) 
that is (i) reported in writing by the nonpublicly offered regulated 
investment company to the person or (ii) reported in a newspaper or 
financial

[[Page 119]]

publication having a nationwide circulation (e.g., the Wall Street 
Journal or Standard and Poor's Weekly Dividend Record).
    (2) Estimates must be reasonable. In general, for purposes of 
paragraph (m)(1) of this section, estimates of affected RIC expenses of 
a nonpublicly offered regulated investment company will be treated as 
reasonable only if the nonpublicly offered regulated investment company 
makes a reasonable effort to offset material understatements (or 
overstatements) of affected RIC expenses for a period by increasing (or 
decreasing) estimates of affected RIC expenses for a subsequent period. 
Understatements or overstatements of affected RIC expenses that are not 
material may be corrected by making offsetting adjustments in future 
periods, provided that understatements and overstatements are treated 
consistently.
    (3) Application. Paragraph (m)(1) of this section shall apply to the 
following persons for the following purposes:
    (i) A nominee who, pursuant to section 6042(a)(1)(B) and paragraph 
(n)(2) of this section, is required to report dividends paid by a 
nonpublicly offered regulated investment company to the Internal Revenue 
Service and to the person to whom the payment is made, for purposes of 
reporting to the Internal Revenue Service and the person to whom the 
payment is made the amount of affected RIC expenses allocated to such 
person.
    (ii) An affected investor to whom a nominee (to which paragraph 
(m)(3)(i) of this section applies) reports, for purposes of calculating 
the affected investor's taxable income and the amount of its affected 
expenses.
    (iii) A shareholder that is a pass-through entity, for purposes of 
calculating its taxable income and the amount of its affected expenses.
    (n) Return of information and reporting to affected investors by a 
nonpublicly offered regulated investment company--(1) In general--(i) 
Return of information. A nonpublicly offered regulated investment 
company shall make an information return (e.g., Form 1099-DIV, Dividends 
and Distributions, for 1987) with respect to each affected investor to 
which an allocation of affected RIC expenses is required to be made 
pursuant to paragraph (k) of this section and for which the nonpublicly 
offered regulated investment company is required to make an information 
return to the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to section 6042 (or 
would be required to make such information return but for the $10 
threshold described in section 6042 (a)(1) (A) and (B). The nonpublicly 
offered regulated investment company shall make the information return 
for each calendar year and shall state separately on such return--
    (A) The amount of affected RIC expenses required to be allocated to 
the affected investor for the calendar year pursuant to paragraph (k) of 
this section,
    (B) The sum of--
    (1) The aggregate amount of the dividends paid to the affected 
investor during the calendar year, and
    (2) The amount of the affected RIC expenses required to be allocated 
to the affected investor for the calendar year pursuant to paragraph (k) 
of this section, and
    (C) Such other information as may be specified by the form or its 
instructions.
    (ii) Statement to be furnished to affected investors. A nonpublicly 
offered regulated investment company shall provide to each affected 
investor for each calendar year (whether or not the nonpublicly offered 
regulated investment company is required to make an information return 
with respect to the affected investor pursuant to section 6042), a
