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 Conven-
tions, 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 sub-
stantive rulings necessary to promote a uniform application of
the tax laws, including all rulings that supersede, revoke, mod-
ify, or amend any of those previously published in the Bulletin.
All published rulings apply retroactively unless otherwise indi-
cated. Procedures relating solely to matters of internal man-
agement 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 Unpublished rulings will not be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.—19
86 Code.
This part i
ncludes rulings and decisions based on provisions of
the Intern
al 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, Leg-
islation 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 Rul-
ings. Bank Secrecy Act Administrative Rulings are issued by
the Department of the Treasury’s Office of the Assistant Sec-
retary (Enforcement).
Part IV
.—Items of General Interest.
This par
t includes notices of proposed rulemakings, disbar-
ment an
d 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.
The c
ontents of this publication are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely. A citation of the Internal Revenue Bulletin as the source would be appropriate.

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service
(IRS), Treasury.
ACTION: Final regulations and removal
of temporary regulations.
SUMMARY: This document contains fi-
nal regulations relating to the automatic
extension of time to file certain informa-
tion returns and exempt organization re-
turns. The final regulations adopt tempo-
rary 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 corpo-
ration income tax returns. The final regu-
lations affect taxpayers who need an exten-
sion of time to file certain information re-
turns, 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 appli-
cability, see §§1.6081–3(e), 1.6081–8(g),
1.6081–9(f), and 31.6081(a)–1(d).

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 pub-
lished final and temporary regulations
(T.D. 9061, 2003–2 C.B. 5) in theFederal
Register(68 FR 34797). A cross-ref-
erence notice of proposed rulemaking
(REG–107618–02, 2003–2 C.B. 13) was
published in theFederal 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 cer-
tain information returns and exempt or-
ganization returns. The temporary regula-
tions also removed the previously applica-
ble rules requiring a signature and an ex-
planation to obtain an automatic extension
of time to file these returns. In addition,
the temporary regulations made other mi-
nor changes to conform the regulations un-
der section 6081 to current law and prac-
tice.
No comments were received from the
public in response to the notice of pro-
posed rulemaking and no public hearing
was requested or held.
Explanation of Provisions
This Treasury decision removes the
temporary regulations and adopts the pro-
posed regulations as final regulations with
the changes explained below.
The first change relates to the automatic
extension of time to file exempt organ-
ization returns. Section 1.6081–9(a) of
the proposed regulations provides that ex-
empt organizations may automatically ex-
tend the time for filing Form 990 (series)
returns for three months. This language in-
advertently included exempt organizations
organized in corporate form (corporate fil-
ers) that file Forms 990–T, “Exempt Or-
ganization Business Income Tax Return”
(and proxy tax under section 6033(e)), who
previously could obtain a six-month exten-
sion of time to file each year. The IRS
and the Treasury Department did not in-
tend to make any changes regarding the
extension period for corporate filers of the
Form 990–T. Therefore, these final regu-
lations clarify that corporate filers of the
Form 990–T may obtain a six-month auto-
matic extension of time to file by properly
filing Form 8868.
Furthermore, in reviewing the regula-
tions 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, “Ap-
plication 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 ex-
tensions 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 signa-
ture 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 ob-
tains an automatic extension of time to
December 27, 200410252004–52 I.R.B.

file under §1.6081–3, the existing rules
in §301.6651–1(c)(4) provide that there is
reasonable cause (and therefore no addi-
tion 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 re-
turn, and paid any balance due on or be-
fore 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 expla-
nation. An explanation and a signature
are required if filers and transmitters need
additional time to file after receiving the
automatic 30-day extension. These regu-
lations also permit employers to obtain an
extension of time to file the Social Secu-
rity 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 fil-
ers 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 Trea-
sury decision is not a significant regula-
tory action as defined in Executive Order
12866. Therefore, a regulatory assessment
is not required. It also has been deter-
mined that section 553(b) of the Admin-
istrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chap-
ter 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 re-
striction (signature requirement) and oth-
erwise make only nonsubstantive changes
to remove references to prior law, a de-
layed effective date pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
§ 553(d) is also not required.
In addition, becausethe regulation
does not impose a collection of infor-
mation 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 regu-
lation 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 com-
ment on their impact on small business.
Drafting Information
The principal author of these regu-
lations is Charles A. Hall of the Office
of Associate Chief Counsel, Procedure
and Administration (Administrative Pro-
visions and Judicial Practice Division).
However, other personnel from the IRS
and Treasury Department participated in
their development.

Part III. Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous
Designated Private Delivery
Services
Notice 2004–83
This notice updates the list of desig-
nated private delivery services (“desig-
nated PDSs”) set forth in Notice 2002–62,
2002–2 C.B. 574, for purposes of the
timely mailing treated as timely filing/pay-
ing rule of section 7502 of the Internal
Revenue Code, effective January 1, 2005.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is re-
moving a PDS from the list of designated
PDSs and revising the list of services pro-
vided by another PDS.
Section 7502(f) authorizes the Sec-
retary to designate certain PDSs for the
timely mailing treated as timely filing/pay-
ing rule of section 7502. Rev. Proc.
97–19, 1997–1 C.B. 644, provides the cri-
teria 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, pro-
vides rules for determining the postmark
date for items delivered by FedEx Inter-
national Priority and FedEx International
First. Notice 97–50, 1997–2 C.B. 305,
modifyingRev. 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 Inter-
national 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 acquisi-
tion of Airborne by DHL Worldwide Ex-
press Inc. The combined entity operates
solely under the trade name “DHL Ex-
press.” DHL, FedEx, and UPS are not des-
ignated with respect to any type of delivery
service not identified above.
The list of designated PDSs and ser-
vices 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 ser-
vices that wish to be designated in time

tinue to submit applications by June 30th
of the year preceding that filing season, as
required by Rev. Proc. 97–19 (as modi-
fied 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.

2004 Cumulative List of
ChangesinPlanQualification
Requirements
Notice 2004–84
I. PURPOSE
This notice contains the 2004 Cumula-
tive List of Changes in Plan Qualification
Requirements (2004 Cumulative List) de-
scribed in section 10 of the draft revenue
procedure in Announcement 2004–71,
2004–40 I.R.B. 569. The Internal Rev-
enue 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 practition-
ers in drafting definedcontribution pre-ap-
proved 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 reme-
dial 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 con-
tains statutory changes and guidance that
have become effective after December 31,
2001,thedatelistedinsection7ofthedraft
revenue procedure attached to Announce-
ment 2004–71. The 2004 Cumulative List
informs plan sponsors and practitioners of
issues the Service has specifically identi-
fied for review in determining whether a
pre-approved plan has been properly up-
dated to reflect statutory changes and guid-
ance that have become effective after De-
cember 31, 2001, and thus were not previ-
ously considered by the Service in issuing
opinion and advisory letters. In order to be
qualified, a plan must comply with all rel-
evant 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.
2004–52 I.R.B.1030December 27, 2004

Thus, sponsors of pre-approved plans may
not rely on opinion or advisory letters with
respect to any guidance issued after De-
cember 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 pro-
vides a remedial amendment period un-
der § 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 Ser-
vice published for comment a draft rev-
enue procedure containing the proposed
procedures for issuing determination let-
ters 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 conjunc-
tion with the opening of the Economic
Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act
of 2001, Pub. L. 107–16 (EGTRRA) opin-
ion and advisory letter program for defined
contribution pre-approved plans. The Ser-
vice proposes to open the program for de-
fined contribution M&P and VS specimen
plans on February 1, 2005. The 12-month
submission period for M&P and VS spec-
imen 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 indrafting defined con-
tribution 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 re-
quirements. Miscellaneous guidance is
also provided. There are some items on
thelistthatrefertoguidance not yet pub-
lished; nevertheless, it is expected that
such guidance will be published in time
to be incorporated into plan documents by
pre-approved plan sponsors and practition-
ers 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/ap-
proval cycle for pre-approved plans rather
than having to wait until the next cycle.

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, un-
der certain circumstances, to comply with
the requirements of § 401(a). Section
1.401(b)–1(b)(1) provides that a disqual-
ifying 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). Gen-
erally, 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 amend-
ment to an existing plan, the date the plan
amendment is adopted or put into effect
2004–52 I.R.B.1032December 27, 2004

(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 qualifica-
tion 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 ab-
sence from a plan of a provision required
by, or, if applicable, integral to the appli-
cable change to the qualification require-
ments of the Code, if the plan was in ef-
fect on the date the change became effec-
tive 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 retroac-
tive annuity starting date are hereby des-
ignated as disqualifying provisions under
§ 1.401(b)–1(b)(3). This will allow plan
sponsors to adopt retroactive annuity start-
ing date amendments in the 2005 plan year.

SECTION 2. BACKGROUND
.01 Section 226 of the Taxpayer Relief
Act of 1997, Pub. L. 105–34, 111 Stat. 821
(1997), added § 1397E to the Internal Rev-
enue Code to provide a credit to holders of
Bonds under certain circumstances so that
the Bonds generally can be issued without
discount or interest. Ninety-five percent of
Bond proceeds are to be used for qualified
purposes, as defined by § 1397E(d)(5),
with respect to a qualified zone academy,
as defined by § 1397E(d)(4).

each of the years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001,
2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005. This amount
is to be allocated among the States by
the Secretary on the basis of their respec-
tive 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 carry-
forwards 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.

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 Inter-
nal Revenue Service will issue a ruling or
determination letter with the revised clas-
sification as to foundation status. Grantors
and contributors may thereafter rely upon
such ruling or determination letter as pro-
vided in section 1.509(a)–7 of the Income
Tax Regulations. It is not the practice of
the Service to announce such revised clas-
sification of foundation status in the Inter-
nal Revenue Bulletin.
2004–52 I.R.B.1040December 27, 2004

Definition of Terms
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 ef-
fect:
Amplifieddescribes a situation where
no change is being made in a prior pub-
lished position, but the prior position is be-
ingextendedtoapplytoavariationofthe
fact situation set forth therein. Thus, if
an earlier ruling held that a principle ap-
plied to A, and the new ruling holds that the
same principle also applies to B, the earlier
ruling is amplified. (Compare withmodi-
fied,below).
Clarifiedis used in those instances
where the language in a prior ruling is be-
ing 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.
Distinguisheddescribes a situation
where a ruling mentions a previously pub-
lished ruling and points out an essential
difference between them.
Modifiedis 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
withamplifiedandclarified, above).
Obsoleteddescribes a previously pub-
lished ruling that is not considered deter-
minative with respect to future transac-
tions. This term is most commonly used in
a ruling that lists previously published rul-
ings 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.
Revokeddescribes situations where the
position in the previously published ruling
is not correct and the correct position is
beingstatedinanewruling.
Supersededdescribes a situation where
the new ruling does nothing more than re-
state the substance and situation of a previ-
ously published ruling (or rulings). Thus,
the term is used to republish under the
1986 Code and regulations the same po-
sition published under the 1939 Code and
regulations. The term is also used when
it is desired to republish in a single rul-
ing a series of situations, names, etc., that
were previously published over a period of
time in separate rulings. If the new rul-
ing does more than restate the substance
of a prior ruling, a combination of terms
is used. For example,modifiedandsu-
persededdescribes 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 pub-
lished ruling is first modified and then, as
modified, is superseded.
Supplementedis 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 rul-
ing has been supplemented several times, a
new ruling may be published that includes
the list in the original ruling and the ad-
ditions, and supersedes all prior rulings in
the series.
Suspendedis used in rare situations
to show that the previous published rul-
ings 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.
