Special rules as to nonresident partners

# (a)

In determining whether a nonresident partner's share of partnership income is derived from or connected with Connecticut sources, no effect is given to a provision in a partnership agreement which characterizes payments to a partner as either salary or other compensation paid or distributable for services rendered to the partnership by the partner, or as being interest or other consideration paid or distributable for the use of capital of a partner.

# (b)

Likewise, no effect is given to a provision in a partnership agreement which allocates to a nonresident partner, as income or gain derived from or connected

with sources outside Connecticut, a greater proportion of such partner's distributive share of partnership income or gain than the ratio of partnership income or gain from sources outside Connecticut to partnership income or gain from all sources.
For example, if a nonresident partner's distributive share of partnership income for federal income tax purposes is $5,000 and 60% of the partnership income is derived from or connected with Connecticut sources, the nonresident partner is required to report on the Connecticut nonresident income tax return $3,000 (60% of $5,000) as such partner's distributive share of partnership income derived from or connected with sources within this state, even though, under the partnership agreement, such partner's share of the total Connecticut income of the partnership may have been fixed at less than $3,000.

# (c)

Likewise, no effect is given to a provision in a partnership agreement which allocates to a nonresident partner a greater proportion of a particular partnership item of loss or deduction derived from or connected with sources within Connecticut than such partner's proportionate share for federal income tax purposes of partnership loss or deduction generally. For example, if a nonresident partner's distributive share of partnership loss for federal income tax purposes is $5,000, and 60% of the partnership loss is derived from or connected with Connecticut sources, the nonresident partner is required to report on the Connecticut nonresident income tax return $3,000 (60% of $5,000) as such partner's distributive share of partnership loss derived from or connected with sources within this state, even though, under the partnership agreement, such partner's share of the total Connecticut loss of the partnership may have been fixed at more than $3,000.
