2023 M3BBA, Partnership Audit Report Instructions

Complete when electing to report and pay Minnesota tax at the partnership-level as a result of federal partnership-level 
audit changes.

Purpose of This Schedule
Schedule M3BBA is to be used by a partnership to both file a federal adjustments report and elect to report and pay the Minnesota income 
tax, penalty, and interest resulting from a federal BBA centralized partnership audit change on its partners’ behalf (“partnership pays 
election”). Schedule M3BBA must be filed with a Form M3X as a supplemental schedule. 
The partnership pays election includes four groupings of taxpayers to calculate the total tax due. This total tax is the sum of the tax due after 
allocating the federal adjustments between these taxpayer groupings:
1. Tax due from direct corporate partners and direct exempt UBIT partners
2. Tax due from direct individual resident partners
3. Tax due from direct estate and trust partners and direct individual nonresident partners
4. Tax due from tiered partners
BBA Centralized Partnership Audit Regime
The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (BBA) was signed into federal law on November 2, 2015, which included enactment of the centralized 
partnership audit regime. This regime generally requires federal partnership audit adjustments and tax collections to be made at the 
partnership-level. The BBA is generally effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, except for partnerships that made an early 
opt-in election under 26 CFR § 301.9100-22T. 

Who Should File Schedule M3BBA?
If your partnership was audited by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) under the BBA centralized partnership audit regime and that federal 
audit resulted in adjustments that affect the Minnesota tax liability, then your partnership and its direct and indirect partners may elect to 
report and pay their Minnesota tax liability at the partnership-level. 
To report and pay your partners’ Minnesota tax liability at the partnership-level, your partnership must complete Schedule M3BBA and 
include it with your Form M3X, Amended Partnership Return.
Unless a partner is excluded from the calculation by Minnesota Statute, the election to pay at the partnership-level relieves the partner from 
filing a return to report their pro rata share of the federal adjustments. 
If the audited partnership does not make the partnership pays election, each tiered partnership partner may choose to make the election as an 
electing partnership. 
Your partnership may not make an election to pay at the partnership-level if:
• The federal adjustments result in unitary business income to a corporate partner required to file as a member of a combined report.
• Any final federal adjustments result from an administrative adjustment request.
• Your partnership is not subject to any reporting or payment obligations to Minnesota.

If Your Partnership Does Not Make a Partnership Pays Election
If your partnership does not elect to report and pay the federal adjustments at the partnership-level through this schedule, then your 
partnership and each partner must file an amended Minnesota return for the reviewed years and report their pro rata share of the federal 
adjustments. 
In addition, no later than 90 days after the final determination date, your partnership must:
• File Form M3X with the department and includes the following:
– A copy of the federal partnership audit report (federal Form 15027 and Form 886‐A)
– Pro-forma amended federal Form 1065 and Schedules K-1 for direct partners
– Amended Schedules KPI and KPC for direct partners
• Notify each direct partner of their distributive share of the final federal adjustments by providing each direct partner their applicable pro-
forma Schedule K-1 and amended Schedule KPI or KPC.
• Include with Form M3X any amended composite reporting and payment for all direct partners who were included in composite tax in the
reviewed year.
• Include with Form M3X any amended nonresident withholding reporting and payment for all direct partners who were subject to
nonresident withholding under Minn. Stat. § 290.92, subd. 4b in the reviewed year.
• Include with Form M3X an amended Schedule PTE and payment for any additional PTE tax if the electing partnership elected the pass-
through entity tax on their original return filing.
No later than 180 days after the final determination date, each direct partner, other than a tiered partner, must file an amended return with the 
department. Direct partners must use the pro-forma Schedule K-1 and amended Schedule KPI or KPC received from the partnership or tiered 
                                                                                             Continued                                            1

2023 M3BBA, Instructions (Continued)

partner to generate a pro-forma amended federal return and amended Minnesota income tax return. The direct partner must file the amended 
Minnesota income tax return with the department and pay any tax due.
When a tiered partner receives amended Schedule KPI or KPC along with a pro-forma federal Schedule K-1 from an audited partnership, the 
tiered partner can make an election to pay at the partnership-level or must report the adjustments as described in this section
Only file Schedule M3BBA if you are making the election to pay the federal audit changes at the partnership-level.

When to File and Pay if your Partnership Makes a Partnership Pays Election 
No later than 90 days after the final determination date of the federal audit change, your partnership must file Form M3X and Schedule 
M3BBA. You must include a copy of the federal partnership audit report (federal Form 15027 and Form 886‐A) as an attachment to Schedule 
M3BBA.
Your partnership must pay the partnership-level tax no later than 180 days after the final determination date. 
Your partnership may make estimated payments on the tax liability expected to result from a pending IRS audit. If your partnership plans to 
elect to pay the tax liability at the partnership-level, the estimated tax payments should be made under your partnership’s MN ID number.
