Income Taxes
 
As a limited liability company, Gyrodyne is
not
subject to an entity level income tax but rather is treated as a partnership for tax purposes, with its items of income, gain, deduction, loss and credit being reported on the Company's information return, on Form
1065,
and allocated annually on Schedule K-
1
to its members pro rata.
 
The Bipartisan Budget Act of
2015
(the
“2015
Act”) changed this procedure for partnership tax audits and audit adjustments for partnership returns of large partnerships for fiscal years beginning after
December 31, 2017.
Pursuant to the
2015
Act, if any audit by the IRS of our income tax returns for any fiscal year beginning after
December 31, 2017
results in any adjustments, the IRS
may
collect any resulting taxes, including any applicable penalties and interest, directly from Gyrodyne. IRS tax audit assessments on tax years beginning
January 1, 2018
will require Gyrodyne to: a) bear any tax liability resulting from such audit, or b) elect to push out the tax audit adjustments to the respective shareholders once it has been calculated at the company level.
