Sec.  1.1045-1  Application to partnerships.

* * * * *
    (c) * * *
    (1) * * *
    (i) * * * A taxpayer other than a C corporation that sells QSB 
stock held for more than 6 months at the time of the sale may elect in 
accordance with paragraph (h) of this section to apply section 1045 if 
replacement QSB stock is purchased by a purchasing partnership 
(including a selling partnership).
* * * * *
    (2) * * *
    (i) General rule.
* * * * *
    (h) * * *
    (3) * * *
    (i) * * *
    Example 3. * * *
    (i) On January 1, 2008, A, an individual, and B, an individual, 
each contribute $500 to UTP (upper-tier partnership) for equal 
partnership interests. On February 1, 2008, UTP and C, an 
individual, each contribute $1,000 to LTP (lower-tier partnership) 
for equal partnership interests. On March 1, 2008, LTP purchases QSB 
stock for $500. On April 1, 2008, D, an individual, joins UTP by 
contributing $500 to UTP for a 1/3 interest in UTP. On December 1, 
2008, LTP sells the QSB stock for $2,000. * * *
* * * * *
    Example 5. * * *
    (v) * * * In accordance with the principles of Sec.  1.743-
1(j)(3), the amount of A's gain from the March 30, 2009, sale of 
replacement QSB1 stock in which A has a $200 negative basis 
adjustment equals $300 (A's share of PRS' gain from the sale of 
replacement QSB1 stock ($100), increased by the amount of A's 
negative basis adjustment for replacement QSB1 stock ($200)). * * *
* * * * *
    Example 12. * * *
    (ii) Because A purchased within 60 days of PRS' sale of the QSB 
stock, replacement QSB stock for a cost equal to A's share of the 
partnership's amount realized on the sale of the QSB stock, and 
because A made a valid election to apply section 1045 with respect 
to A's share of the gain from PRS' sale of the QSB stock, A does not 
recognize A's $100 distributive share of the gain from PRS' sale of 
the QSB stock. * * *
