CW 55B: Amounts of exempt income for partners

You could also call this:

“Partners in a partnership may have tax-free income from partnership rules”

If you are a partner in a partnership, you might have some income that you don’t need to pay tax on. This is called exempt income. You get this exempt income when the rules about partnerships in subpart HG of the tax law are applied to you and your partnership. The amount of exempt income you get depends on how these rules work out for your specific situation.
