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 Unpublished rulings will not be relied on, used, or cited as precedents by Service personnel in the disposition of other cases.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. 2009-8

Federal rates; adjusted federal rates; adjusted federal long-term rate and the long-term exempt rate. For purposes of sections 382, 642, 1274, 1288, and other sections of the Code, tables set forth the rates for March 2009.

This revenue ruling provides various prescribed rates for federal income tax purposes for March 2009 (the current month). Table 1 contains the short-term, mid-term, and long-term applicable federal rates (AFR) for the current month for purposes of section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code. Table 2 contains the short-term, mid-term, and long-term adjusted applicable federal rates (adjusted AFR) for the current month for purposes of section 1288(b). Table 3 sets forth the adjusted federal long-term rate and the long-term tax-exempt rate described in section 382(f). Table 4 contains the appropriate percentages for determining the low-income housing credit described in section 42(b)(1) for buildings placed in service during the current month. However, under section 42(b)(2), the applicable percentage for non-federally subsidized new buildings placed in service after July 30, 2008, and before December 31, 2013, shall not be less than 9%. Finally, Table 5 contains the federal rate for determining the present value of an annuity, an interest for life or for a term of years, or a remainder or a reversionary interest for purposes of section 7520.

Notice 2009-18

Update for Actuarial Tables Under Section 7520

This notice provides supplements to the actuarial tables prescribed under § 7520 of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 7520 requires the Secretary to prescribe actuarial tables for valuing annuities, terms certain, reversions, and remainders. The interest rates required for these computations is 120% of the mid-term Applicable Federal Rate for the month of valuation (or, for transfers for charitable purposes, the interest rate for either of the two months preceding the month of valuation). In T.D. 8886, the Secretary prescribed the tables needed for valuations after April 30, 1999. This Treasury Decision contains regulations under sections 664, 2031, and 7520, and provides tables with interest rates starting at 4.2%. In addition, these regulations refer taxpayers to IRS Publications 1457, 1458, and 1459 for factors at interest rates from 2.2% to 22.0%. Recently, 120% of the mid-term Applicable Federal fell below 2.2%. None of the published tables provides factors for the interest rates below 2.2%. This notice furnishes extensions to the existing tables for interest rates below 2.2%.

Table S provided below extends Table S as furnished in § 20.2031-7(d)(7) of the Federal Estate Tax Regulations.

Notice 2009-19

Information Reporting of Payments Made in Settlement of Payment Card and Third Party Network Transactions

PURPOSE

This notice invites public comments regarding guidance to be provided to payment settlement entities and other affected persons concerning new requirements with respect to the reporting of payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions. The new reporting requirements are in section 6050W of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), which was added by section 3091 of the Housing Assistance Tax Act of 2008, Div. C of Pub. L. No. 110-289, 122 Stat. 2653 (the Act). Section 6050W requires information returns to be made for each calendar year by merchant acquiring entities and third party settlement organizations with respect to payments made in settlement of payment card transactions and third party payment network transactions occurring in that calendar year. This requirement to make information returns applies to returns for calendar years beginning after December 31, 2010.

The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (the Service) intend to issue guidance on compliance with the new reporting requirements. To assist them in drafting guidance under the new provisions, they are requesting comments from all affected persons.

BACKGROUND

Under new section 6050W, any payment settlement entity making payment to a participating payee in settlement of reportable payment transactions must make a return for each calendar year to be filed with the Service, and furnish a statement to the participating payee, setting forth the gross amount of such reportable payment transactions, as well as the name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN) of the participating payees.

Section 6050W(c) provides that a “reportable payment transaction” means any payment card transaction and any third party network transaction. Section 6050W(b)(1) provides that a “payment settlement entity” means: (A) in the case of a payment card transaction, a merchant acquiring entity; and (B) in the case of a third party network transaction, a third party settlement organization. Section 6050W(d)(1)(A) provides that a “participating payee” means: (i) in the case of a payment card transaction, any person who accepts a payment card as payment; and (ii) in the case of a third party network transaction, any person who accepts payment from a third party settlement organization in settlement of such transaction. Section 6050W(d)(1)(C) provides that “person” includes any governmental unit (and any agency or instrumentality thereof). However, section 6050W(d)(1)(B) provides that a “participating payee” does not include any person with a foreign address except as provided by the Secretary in regulations or other guidance.

With respect to reporting on payment card transactions, section 6050W(b)(2) provides that the term “merchant acquiring entity” means the bank or other organization with the contractual obligation to make payment to participating payees in settlement of payment card transactions. Section 6050W(c)(2) provides that a “payment card transaction” means any transaction in which a payment card is accepted as payment. Section 6050W(d)(2) defines “payment card” as any card that is issued pursuant to an agreement or arrangement that provides for: (A) one or more issuers of such cards; (B) a network of persons unrelated to each other, and to the issuer, who agree to accept such cards as payment; and (C) standards and mechanisms for settling the transactions between the merchant acquiring entities and the persons who agree to accept such cards as payment.

Section 6050W(c)(3) provides that the term “third party network transaction” means any transaction that is settled through a third party payment network. Section 6050W(d)(3) defines “third party payment network” as any agreement or arrangement that: (A) involves the establishment of accounts with a central organization by a substantial number of persons who (i) are unrelated to such organization, (ii) provide goods or services, and (iii) have agreed to settle transactions for the provision of such goods or services pursuant to such agreement or arrangement; (B) provides for standards and mechanisms for settling such transactions; and (C) guarantees persons providing goods or services pursuant to such agreement or arrangement that such persons will be paid for providing such goods or services. In the case of a third party network transaction, section 6050W(b)(1)(B) provides that the payment settlement entity is the “third party settlement organization,” which is defined in section 6050W(b)(3) as the central organization that has the contractual obligation to make payment to participating payees of third party network transactions.

Section 6050W(d)(3) provides that a third party payment network does not include any agreement or arrangement that provides for the issuance of payment cards. In addition, section 6050W(e) provides that a third party settlement organization is required to report with respect to third party network transactions of any participating payee only if (1) the aggregate amount with respect to such third party network transactions for the year that would otherwise be reported exceeds $20,000, and (2) the aggregate number of such transactions exceeds 200.

Additionally, section 6050W(b)(4)(A) imposes reporting requirements on intermediaries who receive payments from a payment settlement entity and distribute such payments to one or more participating payees. Under section 6050W(b)(4)(A), such intermediaries are treated (i) as participating payees with respect to the payment settlement entity, and (ii) as payment settlement entities with respect to the participating payees to whom the intermediary distributes payments. However, under section 6050W(b)(4)(B), if an electronic payment facilitator or other third party makes payments in settlement of reportable payment transactions on behalf of the payment settlement entity, the electronic payment facilitator or other third party must file the annual information return in lieu of the payment settlement entity.

The Act also amended section 3406(b)(3) to provide that reportable payment transactions subject to information reporting under section 6050W generally are subject to backup withholding requirements. In addition, the Act amended section 6724(d) by adding returns required by section 6050W to the definition of information returns for purposes of penalties for failure to comply with certain information reporting requirements.

Section 6050W(g) grants authority to the Secretary to issue guidance to implement the reporting requirement, including rules to prevent the reporting of the same transaction more than once. Section 6050W and the related amendment to section 6724(d) generally apply to returns for calendar years beginning after December 31, 2010. The amendments to the backup withholding requirements apply to amounts paid after December 31, 2011.

REQUEST FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS

The Treasury Department and the Service request comments on issues that should be addressed in guidance implementing the new requirements with respect to the reporting of payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions. The Treasury Department and the Service request specific comments regarding:

  1. Whether the Form 1099 series is appropriate for Section 6050W reporting and whether the time and manner of reporting to the Service should conform to existing practices for information reporting to the Service under other provisions of the Code;

  2. Whether procedures for electronic reporting to payees, under section 6050W(f), should conform to existing procedures for electronic reporting to payees under other provisions of the Code;

  3. What foreign entities, if any, should be included in the definition of “payment settlement entity”;

  4. What persons with foreign addresses, if any, should be included in the definition of “participating payee”;

  5. How to interpret the statutory definition and scope of “payment card”;

  6. How to interpret the statutory definition and scope of “third party payment network”;

  7. Whether the “gross amount” of the reportable payment transaction should be defined as “gross receipts or sales” or whether adjustments should be made for credits, cash equivalents, discount amounts, fees, refunded amounts, or other amounts;

  8. How to administer the reporting requirements so as to prevent reporting of the same transaction more than once;

  9. How to address differences between section 6050W reporting and payee reporting on Forms 1040, 1065, or 1120, particularly when timing differences arise, for example, between calendar reporting years and fiscal taxable years, and the potential appropriateness of annual information returns from payment settlement entities that either segregate monthly “gross amounts” or reflect the taxable year of the participating payee; and

  10. What document retention and other verification requirements should apply to reporting entities and what information should be captured for purposes of substantiating the payments reported.

Interested parties are invited to submit comments on this notice by Wednesday, March 18, 2009. Written comments should be submitted to: Internal Revenue Service, CC:PA:LPD:PR (Notice 2009-19), Room 5203, P.O. Box 7604, Ben Franklin Station, Washington, DC 20044.

Announcement of Disciplinary Sanctions From the Office of Professional Responsibility

The Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) announces recent disciplinary sanctions involving attorneys, certified public accountants, enrolled agents, enrolled actuaries, enrolled retirement plan agents, and appraisers. These individuals are subject to the regulations governing practice before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which are set out in Title 31, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 10, and which are published in pamphlet form as Treasury Department Circular No. 230. The regulations prescribe the duties and restrictions relating to such practice and prescribe the disciplinary sanctions for violating the regulations.

The disciplinary sanctions to be imposed for violation of the regulations are:

Disbarred from practice before the IRS—An individual who is disbarred is not eligible to represent taxpayers before the IRS.

Suspended from practice before the IRS—An individual who is suspended is not eligible to represent taxpayers before the IRS during the term of the suspension.

Censured in practice before the IRS—Censure is a public reprimand. Unlike disbarment or suspension, censure does not affect an individual’s eligibility to represent taxpayers before the IRS, but OPR may subject the individual’s future representations to conditions designed to promote high standards of conduct.

Monetary penalty—A monetary penalty may be imposed on an individual who engages in conduct subject to sanction or on an employer, firm, or entity if the individual was acting on its behalf and if it knew, or reasonably should have known, of the individual’s conduct.

Disqualification of appraiser—An appraiser who is disqualified is barred from presenting evidence or testimony in any administrative proceeding before the Department of the Treasury or the IRS.

Under the regulations, attorneys, certified public accountants, enrolled agents, enrolled actuaries, and enrolled retirement plan agents may not assist, or accept assistance from, individuals who are suspended or disbarred with respect to matters constituting practice (i.e., representation) before the IRS, and they may not aid or abet suspended or disbarred individuals to practice before the IRS.

Disciplinary sanctions are described in these terms:

Disbarred by decision after hearing, Suspended by decision after hearing, Censured by decision after hearing, Monetary penalty imposed after hearing, and Disqualified after hearing—An administrative law judge (ALJ) conducted an evidentiary hearing upon OPR’s complaint alleging violation of the regulations and issued a decision imposing one of these sanctions. After 30 days from the issuance of the decision, in the absence of an appeal, the ALJ’s decision became the final agency decision.

Disbarred by default decision, Suspended by default decision, Censured by default decision, Monetary penalty imposed by default decision, and Disqualified by default decision—An ALJ, after finding that no answer to OPR’s complaint had been filed, granted OPR’s motion for a default judgment and issued a decision imposing one of these sanctions.

Disbarment by decision on appeal, Suspended by decision on appeal, Censured by decision on appeal, Monetary penalty imposed by decision on appeal, and Disqualified by decision on appeal—The decision of the ALJ was appealed to the agency appeal authority, acting as the delegate of the Secretary of the Treasury, and the appeal authority issued a decision imposing one of these sanctions.

Disbarred by consent, Suspended by consent, Censured by consent, Monetary penalty imposed by consent, and Disqualified by consent—In lieu of a disciplinary proceeding being instituted or continued, an individual offered a consent to one of these sanctions and OPR accepted the offer. Typically, an offer of consent will provide for: suspension for an indefinite term; conditions that the individual must observe during the suspension; and the individual’s opportunity, after a stated number of months, to file with OPR a petition for reinstatement affirming compliance with the terms of the consent and affirming current eligibility to practice (i.e., an active professional license or active enrollment status). An enrolled agent or an enrolled retirement plan agent may also offer to resign in order to avoid a disciplinary proceeding.

Suspended by decision in expedited proceeding, Suspended by default decision in expedited proceeding, Suspended by consent in expedited proceeding—OPR instituted an expedited proceeding for suspension (based on certain limited grounds, including loss of a professional license and criminal convictions).

OPR has authority to disclose the grounds for disciplinary sanctions in these situations: (1) an ALJ or the Secretary’s delegate on appeal has issued a decision on or after September 26, 2007, which was the effective date of amendments to the regulations that permit making such decisions publicly available; (2) the individual has settled a disciplinary case by signing OPR’s “consent to sanction” form, which requires consenting individuals to admit to one or more violations of the regulations and to consent to the disclosure of the individual’s own return information related to the admitted violations (for example, failure to file Federal income tax returns); or (3) OPR has issued a decision in an expedited proceeding for suspension.

Announcements of disciplinary sanctions appear in the Internal Revenue Bulletin at the earliest practicable date. The sanctions announced below are alphabetized first by the names of states and second by the last names of individuals. Unless otherwise indicated, section numbers (e.g., § 10.51) refer to the regulations.

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:
