What general accounting methods may be used by a partnership, and how and by whom are they selected?

What will be an ideal response?


A partnership generally has the option of choosing either the accrual or the cash method. However, partnerships with C corporation partners must use the accrual method unless the partnership's average annual gross receipts for the last three years are less than $5 million. The partnership, rather than the individual partners, chooses an overall accounting method by using the desired method in calculating ordinary business income on its first return.
