Partnerships provide a mutually beneficial legal structure for developers and investors to create and rehabilitate affordable rental housing with low-income housing tax credits (LIHTC). In the second installment of a two-episode set on LIHTC partnerships, Michael Novogradac, CPA, and Novogradac partner Nicolo Pinoli, CPA, discuss the importance of having partnership allocations of tax attributes be respected, as well as the requirements to have allocations of tax attributes be respected. They discuss the set of regulations that create a safe harbor, and what it means when developers and investors do not qualify for the safe harbor. Finally, Novogradac and Pinoli discuss exit taxes and the fact that many affordable housing developments will have notable residual value at the end of Year 15.
