An overstatement of Arizona taxable income,  any adjustment shall be handled as follows: (a) If the adjustments were originally passed through to the partners under subsection B,  paragraph 2 of this section,  the adjustment shall be passed through to the partners. The partnership shall amend the return under subsection A of this section and amend the statements provided to the partners and the department under subsection B,  paragraph 2 of this section. (b) If the tax on the adjustments was originally paid by the partnership pursuant to subsection B,  paragraph 1 of this section,  the partnership shall amend the return filed pursuant to subsection B,  paragraph 1 of this section to claim any refund. This subdivision does not allow a partnership to claim a refund for amounts not actually paid by the partnership. E. For the purposes of this section: 1.
