Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think I'm going to go with option D, since it's the only one that's completely domestic. Gotta love those good old U.S. mobile homes!

I agree, option D seems like the safest choice. Domestic transactions usually don't require information returns.

Wait, isn't option C about a loan to a partnership located in the U.S.? Wouldn't that be domestic and not require a return?

The question is asking about which transaction doesn't require an information return, so it seems like option D is the correct answer. A and B involve foreign locations, and C involves a partnership, so those would all require reporting.
