The IRS Mission

Provide America’s taxpayers top quality service by helping them understand and meet their tax responsibilities and by applying the tax law with integrity and fairness to all.

Introduction

The Internal Revenue Bulletin is the authoritative instrument of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for announcing official rulings and procedures of the Internal Revenue Service and for publishing Treasury Decisions, Executive Orders, Tax Conventions, legislation, court decisions, and other items of general interest. It is published weekly and may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents on a subscription basis. Bulletin contents are compiled semiannually into Cumulative Bulletins, which are sold on a single-copy basis.

It is the policy of the Service to publish in the Bulletin all substantive rulings necessary to promote a uniform application of the tax laws, including all rulings that supersede, revoke, modify, or amend any of those previously published in the Bulletin. All published rulings apply retroactively unless otherwise indicated. Procedures relating solely to matters of internal management are not published; however, statements of internal practices and procedures that affect the rights and duties of taxpayers are published.

Revenue rulings represent the conclusions of the Service on the application of the law to the pivotal facts stated in the revenue ruling. In those based on positions taken in rulings to taxpayers or technical advice to Service field offices, identifying details and information of a confidential nature are deleted to prevent unwarranted invasions of privacy and to comply with statutory requirements.

Rulings and procedures reported in the Bulletin do not have the force and effect of Treasury Department Regulations, but they may be used as precedents. Unpublished rulings will not be relied on, used, or cited as precedents by Service personnel in the disposition of other cases. In applying published rulings and procedures, the effect of subsequent legislation, regulations, court decisions, rulings, and procedures must be considered, and Service personnel and others concerned are cautioned against reaching the same conclusions in other cases unless the facts and circumstances are substantially the same.

The Bulletin is divided into four parts as follows:

Part I.—1986 Code. This part includes rulings and decisions based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Part II.—Treaties and Tax Legislation. This part is divided into two subparts as follows: Subpart A, Tax Conventions and Other Related Items, and Subpart B, Legislation and Related Committee Reports.

Part III.—Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous. To the extent practicable, pertinent cross references to these subjects are contained in the other Parts and Subparts. Also included in this part are Bank Secrecy Act Administrative Rulings. Bank Secrecy Act Administrative Rulings are issued by the Department of the Treasury’s Office of the Assistant Secretary (Enforcement).

Part IV.—Items of General Interest. This part includes notices of proposed rulemakings, disbarment and suspension lists, and announcements.

The last Bulletin for each month includes a cumulative index for the matters published during the preceding months. These monthly indexes are cumulated on a semiannual basis, and are published in the last Bulletin of each semiannual period.

Part I. Rulings and Decisions Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986

Rev. Rul. 2004-113

T.D. 9163

Automatic Extension of Time To File Certain Information Returns and Exempt Organization Returns

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Internal Revenue Service
26 CFR Parts 1, 25, 31, 53, 55, 156, 301, and 602

AGENCY:

Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.

ACTION:

Final regulations and removal of temporary regulations.

SUMMARY:

This document contains final regulations relating to the automatic extension of time to file certain information returns and exempt organization returns. The final regulations adopt temporary rules that removed the requirement for a signature and an explanation to obtain an automatic extension of time to file these returns. The final regulations also remove the requirement for a signature to obtain an automatic extension of time to file corporation income tax returns. The final regulations affect taxpayers who need an extension of time to file certain information returns, exempt organization returns, and/or corporation income tax returns.

DATES:

Effective Date: These regulations are effective on December 7, 2004.

Applicability Date: For dates of applicability, see §§1.6081-3(e), 1.6081-8(g), 1.6081-9(f), and 31.6081(a)-1(d).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Charles A. Hall, 202-622-4940 (not a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

This document contains amendments to 26 CFR parts 1, 25, 31, 53, 55, 156, 301, and 602 under section 6081 of the Internal Revenue Code, relating to extensions of time to file Federal tax returns.

On June 11, 2003, the IRS published final and temporary regulations (T.D. 9061, 2003-2 C.B. 5) in the Federal Register (68 FR 34797). A cross-reference notice of proposed rulemaking (REG-107618-02, 2003-2 C.B. 13) was published in the Federal Register (68 FR 34875) on the same day. Subsequently, the IRS published a correction to the final and temporary regulations dated September 18, 2003 (68 FR 54660).

The temporary regulations provide an automatic extension of time to file certain information returns and exempt organization returns. The temporary regulations also removed the previously applicable rules requiring a signature and an explanation to obtain an automatic extension of time to file these returns. In addition, the temporary regulations made other minor changes to conform the regulations under section 6081 to current law and practice.

No comments were received from the public in response to the notice of proposed rulemaking and no public hearing was requested or held.

Explanation of Provisions

This Treasury decision removes the temporary regulations and adopts the proposed regulations as final regulations with the changes explained below.

The first change relates to the automatic extension of time to file exempt organization returns. Section 1.6081-9(a) of the proposed regulations provides that exempt organizations may automatically extend the time for filing Form 990 (series) returns for three months. This language inadvertently included exempt organizations organized in corporate form (corporate filers) that file Forms 990-T, “Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return” (and proxy tax under section 6033(e)), who previously could obtain a six-month extension of time to file each year. The IRS and the Treasury Department did not intend to make any changes regarding the extension period for corporate filers of the Form 990-T. Therefore, these final regulations clarify that corporate filers of the Form 990-T may obtain a six-month automatic extension of time to file by properly filing Form 8868.

Furthermore, in reviewing the regulations under section 6081, the IRS and the Treasury Department determined that it was appropriate to amend §1.6081-3 to eliminate the requirement for corporations to provide a signature on Form 7004, “Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File Corporation Income Tax Return,” to obtain a six-month automatic extension of time to file a corporation income tax return. Section 1.6081-3, like all other regulations providing for automatic extensions of time to file, does not require the taxpayer to explain why the extension is needed. Section 1.6081-3, however, unlike the other automatic extensions of time to file, does require a signature on the Form 7004. This signature requirement is an impediment to filing the Form 7004 electronically. The IRS and the Treasury Department have determined that there is no need for a signature requirement for the automatic corporation income tax return extension. Thus, to promote consistency and to remove barriers to electronic filing, this Treasury decision removes the signature requirement from §1.6081-3.

In addition to removing the signature requirement, this Treasury decision revises §1.6081-3 to reflect the repeal of section 6152, which allowed corporations to pay tax in installments. A similar revision is made to §301.6651-1, relating to the addition to tax for failure to file return or pay tax. For a corporation that obtains an automatic extension of time to file under §1.6081-3, the existing rules in §301.6651-1(c)(4) provide that there is reasonable cause (and therefore no addition to tax) for failure to pay tax for the period of the extension if the corporation made payments on a schedule consistent with the installment payment schedule in section 6152, paid at least 90% of its tax due on or before the due date for the return, and paid any balance due on or before the extended due date. This Treasury decision removes the requirement that the corporation make payments on a schedule consistent with section 6152.

Section 1.6081-8 allows filers and transmitters of information returns on Form 1099 (series), 1098 (series), 5498 (series), W-2 (series), W-2G, 1042-S, and 8027 to request an automatic 30-day extension of time to file without having to sign Form 8809 and provide an explanation. An explanation and a signature are required if filers and transmitters need additional time to file after receiving the automatic 30-day extension. These regulations also permit employers to obtain an extension of time to file the Social Security Administration copy of Forms W-2 and W-3 without providing a statement of the reasons for requesting the extension.

The final regulations clarify that filers and transmitters are eligible for only one automatic extension of time to file. Filers and transmitters filing Forms W-2 on an expedited basis under §31.6071(a)-1(a)(3)(ii) may receive an automatic extension of time to file Forms W-2 under Rev. Proc. 96-57, 1996-2 C.B. 389. These filers and transmitters are not eligible to obtain the 30-day automatic extension under §1.6081-8(b). If these filers and transmitters need additional time, they may request an extension under the generally applicable procedures for obtaining additional extensions of time to file Form W-2.

Special Analyses

It has been determined that this Treasury decision is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not required. It also has been determined that section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply to these regulations and, therefore, notice of the amendments to §§1.6081-3 and 301.6651-1 and public procedure thereon is not required. Because these amendments merely remove a restriction (signature requirement) and otherwise make only nonsubstantive changes to remove references to prior law, a delayed effective date pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 553(d) is also not required.

In addition, because the regulation does not impose a collection of information on small entities, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) does not apply. Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, the notice of proposed rulemaking preceding this regulation and the amendments to §§1.6081-3 and 301.6651-1 have been submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration for comment on their impact on small business.

Adoption of Amendments to the Regulations

Accordingly, 26 CFR parts 1, 25, 31, 53, 55, 156, 301, and 602 are amended as follows:

Except in the case of an extension of time pursuant to §1.6081-5, an extension of time for filing an income tax return shall not operate to extend the time for the payment of the tax unless specified to the contrary in the extension. For rules relating to extensions of time for paying tax, see §1.6161-1.

(c) Termination of automatic extension. The Commissioner may terminate an automatic extension at any time by mailing a notice of termination to the corporation (parent corporation in the case of an affiliated group of corporations filing a consolidated return). The notice shall be mailed at least 10 days prior to the termination date designated in such notice. The notice of termination shall be sufficient for all purposes when mailed to the corporation at the address shown on Form 7004 or to the corporation’s last known address. For further guidance regarding the definition of last known address, see §301.6212-2 of this chapter.

Notice 2004-83

Designated Private Delivery Services

This notice updates the list of designated private delivery services (“designated PDSs”) set forth in Notice 2002-62, 2002-2 C.B. 574, for purposes of the timely mailing treated as timely filing/paying rule of section 7502 of the Internal Revenue Code, effective January 1, 2005. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is removing a PDS from the list of designated PDSs and revising the list of services provided by another PDS.

Section 7502(f) authorizes the Secretary to designate certain PDSs for the timely mailing treated as timely filing/paying rule of section 7502. Rev. Proc. 97-19, 1997-1 C.B. 644, provides the criteria currently applicable for designation of a PDS. Notice 97-26, 1997-1 C.B. 413, provides special rules to determine the date that will be treated as the postmark date for purposes of section 7502. Notice 2002-62, modifying Notice 97-26, provides rules for determining the postmark date for items delivered by FedEx International Priority and FedEx International First. Notice 97-50, 1997-2 C.B. 305, modifying Rev. Proc. 97-19 and Notice 97-26, provide that each year there will be only one application period to apply for designation, which will end on June 30th. Notice 99-41, 1999-2 C.B. 325, provides that the IRS will publish a subsequent notice providing a new list of designated PDSs only if a designated PDS (or service) is added to, or removed from, the current list.

Effective January 1, 2005, the list of designated PDSs is as follows:

1. DHL Express (DHL): DHL Same Day Service; DHL Next Day 10:30 am; DHL Next Day 12:00 pm; DHL Next Day 3:00 pm; and DHL 2nd Day Service;

2. Federal Express (FedEx): FedEx Priority Overnight, FedEx Standard Overnight, FedEx 2 Day, FedEx International Priority, and FedEx International First; and

3. United Parcel Service (UPS): UPS Next Day Air, UPS Next Day Air Saver, UPS 2nd Day Air, UPS 2nd Day Air A.M., UPS Worldwide Express Plus, and UPS Worldwide Express.

Airborne Express, Inc. (Airborne) is removed from the list due to the acquisition of Airborne by DHL Worldwide Express Inc. The combined entity operates solely under the trade name “DHL Express.” DHL, FedEx, and UPS are not designated with respect to any type of delivery service not identified above.

The list of designated PDSs and services set forth above will remain in effect until further notice. The IRS will publish a subsequent notice setting forth a new list only if a designated PDS (or service) is added to, or removed from, the current list, or if there is a change to the application and/or appeal procedures. Delivery services that wish to be designated in time for an upcoming filing season must continue to submit applications by June 30th of the year preceding that filing season, as required by Rev. Proc. 97-19 (as modified by Notice 97-50). Notice 97-26 (as modified by Notice 2002-62) continues to provide special rules used to determine the date that will be treated as the postmark date for purposes of section 7502.

EFFECT ON OTHER DOCUMENTS

Notice 2002-62 is modified and, as so modified, is superseded.

EFFECTIVE DATE

This notice is effective on January 1, 2005.

The principal author of this notice is John M. Moran of the Office of Associate Chief Counsel, Procedure and Administration (Administrative Provisions and Judicial Practice Division). For further information regarding this notice, contact Mr. Moran at (202) 622-4940 (not a toll-free call).

Notice 2004-84

2004 Cumulative List of Changes in Plan Qualification Requirements

I. PURPOSE

This notice contains the 2004 Cumulative List of Changes in Plan Qualification Requirements (2004 Cumulative List) described in section 10 of the draft revenue procedure in Announcement 2004-71, 2004-40 I.R.B. 569. The Internal Revenue Service intends to annually publish a Cumulative List to identify statutory, regulatory and guidance changes that must be taken into account in a plan sponsor’s submissions to the Service for opinion, advisory and determination letters whose remedial amendment period is proposed to end on January 31 of the second calendar year following release of the list.

The 2004 Cumulative List is to be used primarily by plan sponsors and practitioners in drafting defined contribution pre-approved plans (that is, defined contribution plans that are master and prototype (M&P) or volume submitter (VS) plans) for their first submission under the proposed remedial amendment cycle. As a consequence, the 2004 Cumulative List only includes statutory changes and guidance that would apply to the types of defined contribution plans that may be used as pre-approved plans. The 2004 Cumulative List only contains statutory changes and guidance that have become effective after December 31, 2001, the date listed in section 7 of the draft revenue procedure attached to Announcement 2004-71. The 2004 Cumulative List informs plan sponsors and practitioners of issues the Service has specifically identified for review in determining whether a pre-approved plan has been properly updated to reflect statutory changes and guidance that have become effective after December 31, 2001, and thus were not previously considered by the Service in issuing opinion and advisory letters. In order to be qualified, a plan must comply with all relevant qualification requirements, not just those on the 2004 Cumulative List. The Service will not review plan language for guidance issued after December 14, 2004, unless it is on the 2004 Cumulative List. Thus, sponsors of pre-approved plans may not rely on opinion or advisory letters with respect to any guidance issued after December 14, 2004, unless that guidance is on the 2004 Cumulative List.

The 2004 Cumulative List in section IV does not extend the deadline by which a plan must be amended to comply with any statutory, regulatory, or guidance changes. However, section V of this notice provides a remedial amendment period under § 401(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) for amendments with respect to retroactive annuity starting dates described in § 417(a)(7)(A) of the Code.

II. BACKGROUND

In Announcement 2004-71, the Service published for comment a draft revenue procedure containing the proposed procedures for issuing determination letters on five-year cycles with respect to the qualified status under § 401(a) of the Code for individually designed plans (that is, plans that have not been pre-approved). It is intended that pre-approved plans would generally have a regular, six-year remedial amendment/approval cycle. The announcement also contains a discussion of the Cumulative List.

III. APPLICATION OF 2004 CUMULATIVE LIST

This notice is being issued in conjunction with the opening of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, Pub. L. 107-16 (EGTRRA) opinion and advisory letter program for defined contribution pre-approved plans. The Service proposes to open the program for defined contribution M&P and VS specimen plans on February 1, 2005. The 12-month submission period for M&P and VS specimen plans is intended to end January 31, 2006.

The 2004 Cumulative List reflects law changes under EGTRRA with technical corrections made by the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002 (JCWAA), Pub. L. 104-147, as well as regulations and guidance published by the Service that are effective after December 31, 2001. The Service intends the 2004 Cumulative List to be used primarily by plan sponsors and practitioners in drafting defined contribution pre-approved plans for their first submission under the proposed remedial amendment cycle.

IV. 2004 CUMULATIVE LIST OF CHANGES IN PLAN QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

The following list consists of statutory provisions and associated guidance which reflect changes to plan qualification requirements. Miscellaneous guidance is also provided. There are some items on the list that refer to guidance not yet published; nevertheless, it is expected that such guidance will be published in time to be incorporated into plan documents by pre-approved plan sponsors and practitioners early in 2005. These not-yet published guidance items have been included in the 2004 Cumulative List in order to allow this incorporation in the first submission in the proposed remedial amendment/approval cycle for pre-approved plans rather than having to wait until the next cycle.

The following guidance contains sample or model amendments: Notice 2001-57, 2001-2 C.B. 279 (miscellaneous EGTRRA amendments); Rev. Proc. 2002-29, 2002-1 C.B. 1176 (required minimum distribution amendments); and Rev. Proc. 2003-13, 2003-1 C.B. 317 (required language for deemed IRAs).

V. REMEDIAL AMENDMENT PERIOD FOR RETROACTIVE ANNUITY STARTING DATE AMENDMENT

Background

Section 401(b) provides a remedial amendment period during which an amendment to a disqualifying provision may be made retroactively effective, under certain circumstances, to comply with the requirements of § 401(a). Section 1.401(b)-1(b)(1) provides that a disqualifying provision includes an amendment to an existing plan which causes the plan to fail to satisfy the requirements of the Code applicable to the qualification of the plan as of the date the plan or amendment is first made effective.

As provided in § 1.401(b)-1(d), the remedial amendment period for a disqualifying provision described in § 1.401(b)-1(b)(1) begins, in the case of an amendment to an existing plan, on the date the plan amendment is adopted or put into effect (whichever is earlier). Generally, the remedial amendment period for a disqualifying provision described in § 1.401(b)-1(b)(1) ends with the due date (including extensions) for filing the income tax return for the employer’s tax year that includes, in the case of an amendment to an existing plan, the date the plan amendment is adopted or put into effect (whichever is later). Section 1.401(b)-1(f) grants the Commissioner the discretion to extend the remedial amendment period.

Section 1.401(b)-1(b)(3) provides that the Commissioner may also designate as a disqualifying provision under § 401(b) a plan provision that either (1) results in the failure of the plan to satisfy the qualification requirements of the Code by reason of a change in those requirements, or (2) is integral to a qualification requirement that has been changed.

Section 1.401(b)-1(c) provides that a disqualifying provision includes the absence from a plan of a provision required by, or, if applicable, integral to the applicable change to the qualification requirements of the Code, if the plan was in effect on the date the change became effective with respect to the plan.

Pursuant to § 417(a)(7)(A), § 1.417(e)-1 of the Regulations provide that the qualified joint and survivor annuity (QJSA) explanation may be furnished on or after the annuity starting date under certain circumstances (that is, retroactive annuity starting date). The retroactive annuity starting date may be used only if the plan provides for such provision and the participant affirmatively elects to use the retroactive annuity starting date. The effective date is plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2004.

Designation of Disqualifying Provision

Plan provisions relating to a retroactive annuity starting date are hereby designated as disqualifying provisions under § 1.401(b)-1(b)(3). This will allow plan sponsors to adopt retroactive annuity starting date amendments in the 2005 plan year.

This amount is to be allocated among the States by the Secretary on the basis of their respective populations below the poverty level (as defined by the Office of Management and Budget) and is to be further allocated by each State to qualified zone academies within the State.

.03 Section 1397E(e)(4), as amended by § 509 of the Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999, Pub. L. 106-170, 113 Stat. 1860 (1999), provides that any carryforward of a limitation amount may be carried forward only to the first 2 years (3 years for carryforwards from 1998 or 1999) following the unused limitation year. For this purpose, a limitation amount shall be treated as used on a first-in first-out basis.

Proc. 2002-72, 2002-2 C.B. 931, and Rev. Proc. 2004-61, 2004-43 I.R.B. 707, allocated among the States the national limitation for 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004, respectively.

If an organization listed above submits information that warrants the renewal of its classification as a public charity or as a private operating foundation, the Internal Revenue Service will issue a ruling or determination letter with the revised classification as to foundation status. Grantors and contributors may thereafter rely upon such ruling or determination letter as provided in section 1.509(a)-7 of the Income Tax Regulations. It is not the practice of the Service to announce such revised classification of foundation status in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.

Definition of Terms and Abbreviations

Definition of Terms

Amplified describes a situation where no change is being made in a prior published position, but the prior position is being extended to apply to a variation of the fact situation set forth therein. Thus, if an earlier ruling held that a principle applied to A, and the new ruling holds that the same principle also applies to B, the earlier ruling is amplified. (Compare with modified, below).

Clarified is used in those instances where the language in a prior ruling is being made clear because the language has caused, or may cause, some confusion. It is not used where a position in a prior ruling is being changed.

Distinguished describes a situation where a ruling mentions a previously published ruling and points out an essential difference between them.

Modified is used where the substance of a previously published position is being changed. Thus, if a prior ruling held that a principle applied to A but not to B, and the new ruling holds that it applies to both A and B, the prior ruling is modified because it corrects a published position. (Compare with amplified and clarified, above).

Obsoleted describes a previously published ruling that is not considered determinative with respect to future transactions. This term is most commonly used in a ruling that lists previously published rulings that are obsoleted because of changes in laws or regulations. A ruling may also be obsoleted because the substance has been included in regulations subsequently adopted.

Revoked describes situations where the position in the previously published ruling is not correct and the correct position is being stated in a new ruling.

Superseded describes a situation where the new ruling does nothing more than restate the substance and situation of a previously published ruling (or rulings). Thus, the term is used to republish under the 1986 Code and regulations the same position published under the 1939 Code and regulations. The term is also used when it is desired to republish in a single ruling a series of situations, names, etc., that were previously published over a period of time in separate rulings. If the new ruling does more than restate the substance of a prior ruling, a combination of terms is used. For example, modified and superseded describes a situation where the substance of a previously published ruling is being changed in part and is continued without change in part and it is desired to restate the valid portion of the previously published ruling in a new ruling that is self contained. In this case, the previously published ruling is first modified and then, as modified, is superseded.

Supplemented is used in situations in which a list, such as a list of the names of countries, is published in a ruling and that list is expanded by adding further names in subsequent rulings. After the original ruling has been supplemented several times, a new ruling may be published that includes the list in the original ruling and the additions, and supersedes all prior rulings in the series.

Suspended is used in rare situations to show that the previous published rulings will not be applied pending some future action such as the issuance of new or amended regulations, the outcome of cases in litigation, or the outcome of a Service study.

Revenue rulings and revenue procedures (hereinafter referred to as “rulings”) that have an effect on previous rulings use the following defined terms to describe the effect:
