On December 23, 2024, in Denham Capital Management LP v. Commissioner(T.C. Memo. 2024-114), the Tax Court reaffirmed its earlier ruling in Soroban Capital Partners LP v. Commissioner (161 T.C. No. 12.) that active limited partners of a state law limited partnership are not entitled to the "limited partner exception" to self-employment tax for purposes of section 1402(a)(13) of the Code.

The taxpayers inSirius Solutions LLLP v. Commissioner (Docket No. 30118-21) and Point72 Asset Management, L.P. v. Commissioner (Docket No. 12752-23) have also challenged the Soroban Court's interpretation of "limited partner" under their own disputes with the IRS. Sirius Solutions is appealing the Tax Court's similar holding to the Court of the Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and Point72 is still in the Tax Court. For a summary of Soroban, please read our prior blog post here.
