Avoiding Accidental Partnerships in Real Estate
**Correction** : Hey everyone! I misspoke in this episode. The guidance on rev proc 84-35 references the old consolidated audit procedures that impact older returns. The CPAR (Consolidated Partnership Audit Regime) that impacts current returns does NOT impact the ability to use Rev proc 84-35 for late relief.
