(b) Underpayment due to inconsistent treatment assessed as math error Any underpayment of tax by a partner by reason of failing to comply with the requirements of subsection (a) shall be assessed and collected in the same manner as if such underpayment were on account of a mathematical or clerical error appearing on the partners return. Paragraph (2) of section 6213(b) shall not apply to any assessment of an underpayment referred to in the preceding sentence.

subsections (a) and (b) shall not apply to such item.

(2) Partner receiving incorrect information A partner shall be treated as having complied with subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) with respect to an item if the partner—

(B) elects to have this paragraph apply with respect to that item.

(d) Final decision on certain positions not binding on partnership Any final decision with respect to an inconsistent position identified under subsection (c) in a proceeding to which the partnership is not a party shall not be binding on the partnership.
