(1) the department’s adjustments to tax attributes; and
(2) if the report of proposed partnership adjustments is not attributed to one (1) or more affected direct partners in proportion to their share of income from the partnership, the allocation of the department’s adjustments to such affected direct partners. The portion of adjustments not specifically allocated to partners in the report of proposed partnership adjustments shall be considered to be allocated in proportion to their share of income from the partnership and adjusted to account for the partners whose adjustments are specifically allocated to them.
(c) If the report of proposed partnership adjustments for a taxable year results in either:

(2) if the partnership reported tax attributes that would result in a refund of tax to one (1) or more partners, a reduction in that refund;
such report shall be treated as a proposed assessment under IC 6-8.1-5 to the partnership.
(d) If the result for partnership adjustments for a taxable year results in:
(1) no direct increase in tax to any direct partner; and
(2) a change in tax attributes to one (1) or more direct partners that would result in a refund in excess of any refund claimed;
the department shall issue a report of proposed partnership adjustments to the partnership reflecting such adjustments. Any refund arising from a report of proposed partnership adjustments shall be issued to the partners, subject to the partner claiming the refund and any statute of limitations on such refunds. In the case of partnership adjustments otherwise described in this subsection that result from a partnership adjustment described in subsection (c), all such partnership adjustments shall be treated as adjustments to which subsection (c) applies.
