- BDeferral of all taxes until the partnership is dissolved
- CFlow-through of income, losses, deductions, and credits directly to the partners' individual tax returns✓ Correct answer
- DTax-free income that is never reported to the IRS
Explanation
Why C — Flow-through of income, losses, deductions, and credits directly to the partners' individual tax returns
DPPs (limited partnerships) provide flow-through taxation — income, losses, deductions, and tax credits pass directly to the individual partners' tax returns (reported on Schedule K-1). The entity itself is not taxed (avoiding double taxation). This is the PRIMARY economic motivation for DPPs. Tax losses can offset other income, subject to passive activity loss rules.
