Discussion: Partnership Tax Year
The IRC restricts the choices for a partnership‘s tax year to prevent the deferral of tax. This causes most partnerships to adopt a calendar year for tax reporting.

Suggest at least one major reason why Congress allowed the exception to the calendar year for partnership tax year elections.
