If the tiered partnership election in TTC 171.1015 is made, does the lower tier partnership have to report all revenue to all upper tier entities?
No, a lower tier entity that is not part of a combined group may choose to report total revenue to any or all of its upper tier entities. If the lower tier entity chooses to report total revenue to an upper tier entity, the lower tier entity must report total revenue to the upper tier entity according to the ownership interest of the upper tier entity. A lower tier entity may not report total revenue to an upper tier entity if the upper tier entity is not subject to the franchise tax.
