Centralized Partnership Audit Regime (CPAR)

The Partnership Centralized Audit Regime (CPAR), also known as the Bipartisan
Budget Act (BBA) of 2015, is a set of rules that govern how the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) audits and adjusts the tax liability of partnerships. Prior to the CPAR,
the IRS had to audit each partner individually, which was a complex and time-
consuming process. The CPAR was introduced to simplify and streamline the
partnership audit process.
