It is published weekly and may be obtained from the Superin- tendent of Documents on a subscription basis. Bulletin contents are consolidated 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. Proce- dures relating solely to matters of internal management are not published; however, statements internal prac- tices and procedures that affect the rights and duties of taxpayers are published. Revenue rulings represent the conclusions of the Ser- vice 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 unwar- ranted 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 Regu- lations, but they may be used as precedents. Unpub- lished 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 proce- dures, the effect of subsequent legislation, regulations, court decisions, rulings, and procedures must be con- sidered, 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 provi- sions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. ## Part II .- Treaties and Tax Legislation. This part is divided into two subparts as follows: Sub- part 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 Adminis- trative Rulings are issued by the Department of the Treasury's Office of the Assistant Secretary (Enforce- ment). ## Part IV .- Items of General Interest. This part includes notices of proposed rulemakings, disbarment and suspension lists, and announcements. The first 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 first Bulletin of the succeeding semiannual period, respectively. The contents of this publication are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely. A citation of the Internal Revenue Bulletin as the source would be appropriate.

Rulings and Decisions Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ## Section 401. - Qualified Pension, Profit-Sharing, and Stock Bonus Plans 26 CFR 1.401(1)-1: Permitted disparity in employer-provided contributions or benefits. Covered compensation tables; 2002. The covered compensation tables for the year 2002 under section 401 of the Code are provided for use in determin- ing contributions to defined benefit plans and permitted disparity. ### Rev. Rul. 2001-55 This revenue ruling provides tables of covered compensation under § 401(I)(5)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and the Income Tax Regulations, thereunder, for the 2002 plan year. Section 401(I)(5)(E)(i) defines cov- ered compensation with respect to an employee, as the average of the contri- bution and benefit bases in effect under section 230 of the Social Security Act (the "Act") for each year in the 35-year period ending with the year in which the employee attains social security retire- ment age. Section 401(I)(5)(E)(ii) of the Code states that the determination for any year preceding the year in which the employee attains social security retire- ment age shall be made by assuming that there is no increase in covered compensation after the determination year and before the employee attains social security retirement age. Section 1.401(I)-1(c)(34) of the regulations defines the taxable wage base as the contribution and benefit base under section 230 of the Act. Section 1.401(I)-1(c)(7)(i) defines covered compensation for an employee as the average (without indexing) of the taxable wage bases in effect for each calendar year during the 35-year period ending with the last day of the calendar year in which the employee attains (or will attain) social security retirement age. A 35-year period is used for all individuals regardless of the year of birth of the individual. In deter- mining an employee's covered compensation for a plan year, the taxable wage base for all calendar years beginning after the first day of the plan year is assumed to be the same as the taxable wage base in effect as of the beginning of the plan year. An employee's cov- ered compensation for a plan year beginning after the 35-year period applicable under § 1.401(I)-1(c)(7)(i) is the employee's covered compensation for a plan year during which the 35- year period ends. An employee's cov- ered compensation for a plan year beginning before the 35-year period applicable under § 1.401(I)-1(c)(7)(i) is the taxable wage base in effect as of the beginning of the plan year. Section 1.401(I)-1(c)(7)(ii) provides that, for purposes of determining the amount of an employee's covered compensation under § 1.401(I)- 1(c)(7)(i), a plan may use tables, pro- vided by the Commissioner, that are developed by rounding the actual amounts of covered compensation for different years of birth. For purposes of determining covered compensation for the 2002 year the taxable wage base is $84,900.

For further information regarding this revenue ruling, please contact the Employee Plans' taxpayer assistance telephone service at 1-877-829-5500, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday (a toll-free number). Mr. New- man's number is (202) 283-9888 (not a toll free number). ## Section 995 .- Taxation of DISC Income to Share- holders 2001 base period T-bill rate. The "base period T-bill rate" for the period ending September 30, 2001, is pub- lished as required by section 995(f) of the Code. ## Rev. Rul. 2001-56 Section 995(f)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a share- holder of a DISC shall pay interest each taxable year in an amount equal to the product of the shareholder's DISC- related deferred tax liability for the year and the "base period T-bill rate." Under section 995(f)(4), the base period T-bill rate is the annual rate of interest deter- mined by the Secretary to be equivalent to the average of the 1-year constant maturity Treasury yields, as published by the Board of Governors of the Fed- eral Reserve System, for the 1-year period ending on September 30 of the calendar year ending with (or of the most recent calendar year ending be- fore) the close of the taxable year of the shareholder. The base period T-bill rate for the period ending September 30, 2001, is 4.41 percent. Pursuant to section 6222 of the Code, interest must be compounded daily. The table below provides factors for com- pounding the base period T-bill rate daily for any number of days in the shareholder's taxable year (including a 52-53 week accounting period) for the 2001 base period T-bill rate. To com- pute the amount of the interest charge for the shareholder's taxable year, multiply the amount of the share- holder's DISC-related deferred tax liability (as defined in section 995(f)(2)) for that year by the base period T-bill rate factor corresponding to the number of days in the shareholder's taxable year for which the interest charge is being computed. Generally, one would use the factor for 365 days. One would use a different factor only if the shareholder's taxable year for which the interest charge being determined is a short taxable year, if the shareholder uses the 52-53 week taxable year, or if the shareholder's taxable year is a leap year. For the base period T-bill rates for the periods ending in prior years, see Rev.

The relief provided to taxpayers in this notice will apply retroactively to September 11, 2001. This notice also postpones the dead- lines for certain acts performed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The postponement of these deadlines is not retroactive to September 11, 2001. Thus, the IRS deadlines are postponed only if the last day for performing the act (e.g., making a tax assessment) would otherwise be on or after Novem- ber 2, 2001. Taxpayers who believe they are entitled to relief under this notice should mark "September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack" in red ink on the top of their returns and other documents submitted to the IRS and petitions submitted to the United States Tax Court. Taxpayers should not put this notation on enve- lopes. Doing so may result in a delay in the delivery or processing of the return or document. Taxpayers that do not qualify for relief under Notice 2001-61 or this notice may still qualify for extensions and relief from penalties for reasonable cause. Reasonable cause relief may also be available to taxpayers who did re- ceive relief under Notice 2001-61 or this notice but who nevertheless could not meet their tax obligations within the relief period. A request for relief from penalties for reasonable cause should beattached to the return with an expla- nation of the reasons supporting relief. If penalties are assessed, Form 843, Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement, may be completed as a request for reasonable cause relief from penalties. ## A. MISSING TAXPAYERS Individuals missing as a result of the Terrorist Attack are affected taxpayers as defined in Notice 2001-61 under the term "victims of the crash." Thus, the relief granted by Notice 2001-61 and this notice applies to individuals miss- ing as a result of the Terrorist Attack. ## B. POSTPONEMENT OF DEAD- LINES FOR SECTION 1031 EX- CHANGES As explained below, a 120-day postponement of time is granted to affected taxpayers for the acts listed in Rev. Proc. 2001-53, 2001-47 I.R.B 506 (November 19, 2001), if the last day to perform the act would otherwise fall within the period beginning on Septem- ber 11, 2001, and ending on November 30, 2001. One of the acts listed in Rev. Proc. 2001-53 is an exchange of prop- erty under section 1031. This notice provides three types of postponements relating to section 1031 exchanges. (1) If the taxpayer (transferor) is an affected taxpayer under Notice 2001- 61, then the last day of the identification period or the exchange period set forth in section 1.1031(k)-1(b)(2) of the regulations, relating to deferred like- kind exchanges, or the last day of any period set forth in section 4.02(3) through (6) of Rev. Proc. 2000-37, 2000-40 I.R.B. 308 (October 2, 2000), relating to a qualified ex- change accommodation arrangement, is postponed by 120 days if the follow- ing requirements are met: (a) The relinquished property was transferred on or before September 11, 2001, or, in a transaction governed by Rev. Proc. 2000-37, property was transferred to the exchange accommo- dation titleholder on or before Septem- ber 11, 2001; and (b) Absent application of this notice, the identification period or the exchange period, or any time period set forth in section 4.02(3) through (6) of Rev. Proc. 2000-37, would end on or after September 11, 2001, and on or before November 30, 2001. (2) If a taxpayer (transferor) is not an affected taxpayer under Notice 2001- 61, then the last day of the identification period or the exchange period set forth in section 1.1031(k)-1(b)(2), or the last day of any period set forth in section 4.02(3) through (6) of Rev. Proc. 2000- 37, is postponed by 120 days if the following requirements are met: (a) The relinquished property was transferred on or before September 11, 2001, or, in a transaction governed by Rev. Proc. 2000-37, property was transferred to the exchange accommo- dation titleholder on or before Septem- ber 11, 2001; and (b) Absent application of this notice, the identification period or the exchange period, or any time period set forth in section 4.02(3) through (6) of Rev. Proc. 2000-37, would end on or after September 11, 2001, and on or before November 30, 2001, and (c) It is difficult to meet a deadline set forth in section 1.1031(k)-1(b), or a deadline in section 4.02(3) through (6) of Rev. Proc. 2000-37, due to the Ter- rorist Attack for the following or similar reasons: (I) The relinquished property or the replacement property is or was located in a covered disaster area (as defined in Notice 2001-61); or (II) The principal place of business of any party to the transaction other than the transferor (e.g., a qualified interme- diary, exchange accommodation title- holder, transferee, settlement attorney, lender, financial institution or a title insurance company) is located in a covered disaster area (as defined in Notice 2001-61); or <!-- PageFooter="November 19, 2001" --> <!-- PageFooter="2001-47 I.R.B." --> <!-- PageBreak --> (III) Any party to the transaction other than the transferor (or an em- ployee of such a party who is or was involved in the section 1031 transac- tion) was killed, injured, or is missing as a result of the Terrorist Attack; or (IV) A document prepared in connec- tion with the exchange (e.g., the agree- ment between the transferor and the qualified intermediary or the deed to the relinquished property or replacement property) or land records were de- stroyed, damaged, or lost as a result of the Terrorist Attack; or (V) A lender decided not to fund a real estate closing due to the Terrorist Attack or refused to fund a loan to the taxpayer because terrorism insurance was not available; or (VI) A title insurance company was not able to provide the required title insurance policy necessary to settle or close a real estate transaction due to the Terrorist Attack. (3) If a postponement is not otherwise granted under paragraphs (1) and (2), a postponement to September 24, 2001, similar to the postponement provided in Notice 2001-63, 2001-40 I.R.B. 308 (October 1, 2001), is granted if the following requirements are met: (a) The relinquished property was transferred on or before September 11, 2001, or, in a transaction governed by Rev. Proc. 2000-37, property was transferred to the exchange accommo- dation titleholder on or before Septem- ber 11, 2001; and (b) Absent application of this notice, the identification period or the exchange period, or any time period set forth in section 4.02(3) through (6) of Rev. Proc. 2000-37, would end on or after September 11, 2001, and on or before September 17, 2001. C. ADDITIONAL GRANT OF RE- LIEF (1) This notice expands the relief provided by paragraph (2) of the Grant of Relief section of Notice 2001-61. The additional relief is for tax returns on an extension (not on a postponement under section 7508A) that expires on or after December 1, 2001, and on or before January 31, 2002. For these returns, the last date for filing the return is postponed until February 15, 2002, under section 7508A. This additional relief is available only to taxpayers that have difficulty in meeting their federal tax obligations because their records, computers, or other essential supporting services were lost or damaged, or essen- tial personnel were injured or killed, or are missing as a result of the Terrorist Attack. (2) Under paragraph (4) of the Grant of Relief section of Notice 2001-61, the IRS granted to all affected taxpay- ers a 120-day postponement of time to perform the acts described in section 301.7508A-1(c)(1), if the last day to perform the act fell within the period beginning on September 11, 2001, and ending on November 30, 2001. One of these acts is the filing of any Tax Court petition. Under this notice, the relief provided by paragraph (4) is expanded as follows. If the last date for filing any Tax Court petition would other- wise be on or after December 1, 2001, and on or before December 31, 2001, the last date for filing the petition is postponed by 60 days under section 7508A. (3) In addition to the acts specifically identified in section 301.7508A-1(c)(1), a 120-day postponement is granted for each act listed in Rev. Proc. 2001-53, for affected taxpayers if the last day to perform the act would otherwise fall within the period beginning on Septem- ber 11, 2001, and ending on November 30, 2001. This postponement does not, however, apply to the acts required by section 148(f)(3) and section 1.148- 3(g), section 1.148-5(c), section 148(f)(4)(C)(xvi) and section 1.148- 7(k)(1), or section 149(e). Postpone- ments of these acts for issuers of tax exempt bonds were provided in An- nouncement 2001-101, 2001-43 I.R.B. 374 (October 22, 2001). For purposes of tax-exempt bonds, the term "affected taxpayer" shall include any affected issuer as described in Announcement 2001-101. This postponement also does not apply to the deadline for Form 5500 and Form 5500-EZ filings. The De- partment of Labor's Pension and Wel- fare Benefits Administration Press Release No. 01-36 (released September 14, 2001) grants relief extending the deadline for filing Form 5500 and Form 5500-EZ. ## D. PARTNERS, S CORPORATION SHAREHOLDERS, AND BENEFICI- ARIES OF TRUSTS AND ESTATES Partners, S corporation shareholders, and beneficiaries of trusts and estates use the information reported to them on Schedule K-1 by their partnerships, corporations, trusts, or estates to prepare their own income tax returns. If the income tax return of the partnership, S corporation, trust or estate was post- poned or extended under this notice or Notice 2001-61, the partner, S corpora- tion shareholder, or beneficiary of a trust or estate may not receive the Schedule K-1 prior to the due date or extended due date of the partner's, shareholder's, or beneficiary's income tax return. The income tax return of the partner, shareholder, or beneficiary is not postponed or extended by Notice 2001-61 or this notice solely because the entity (the partnership, S corpora- tion, trust, or estate) is an affected taxpayer. Partners, shareholders, and benefici- aries of trusts and estates may request extensions of time to file their income tax returns. See I.R.C. § 6081. If the Schedule K-1 is not received by the extended due date, the partner, share- holder, or beneficiary should prepare and file the income tax return on a timely basis by making a reasonable estimate in good faith of items of in- come, gain, loss, deduction, and credit attributable to the taxpayer's interest in the entity. Later, when the Schedule K-1 is received, the taxpayer should prepare an amended return reflecting the items reported on the Schedule K-1. If the taxpayer's original return under- estimated items of income or gain, or overstated items of deduction, loss, or credit, and a late payment penalty at- tributable to these items is assessed, the taxpayer should request an abatement of the penalty for reasonable cause. If the original return was prepared in good faith based on reasonable estimates of the tax items attributable to the entity, the IRS will waive or abate penalties for late payment. <!-- PageFooter="2001-47 I.R.B." --> <!-- PageFooter="November 19, 2001" --> <!-- PageBreak --> ## E. RELIEF FROM PENALTY FOR FAILING TO FILE PARTNERSHIP RETURN BY MAGNETIC MEDIA Any partnership that is an affected taxpayer, as defined in Notice 2001-61 and this notice, and that is required to file a partnership return by magnetic media (electronically) under section 6011(e) will not be assessed a penalty under section 6721 for failing to file the partnership return electronically if the partnership elects to file a paper return. This relief is for partnership returns that have an original due date or extended due date (not a postponed due date under section 7508A) on or after Sep- tember 11, 2001, and on or before November 30, 2001. Taxpayers who qualify should write "September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack" in red ink on the top of their paper Form 1065. The IRS will abate any penalty that is improperly assessed. ## F. ACTS PERFORMED BY THE GOVERNMENT (1) If the last date otherwise pre- scribed by law for making a tax assess- ment is on or after November 2, 2001, and the taxpayer received a 120-day postponement of time to file a Tax Court petition under paragraph (4) of the Grant of Relief section of Notice 2001-61, then the last date otherwise prescribed by law for making an as- sessment is correspondingly postponed by 120 days. This additional time for making an assessment is needed for the following reason. Under section 6503, the period of limitations on assessment is suspended when a statutory notice of deficiency is mailed. The section 6503 suspension period (generally 150 days) includes the period (generally 90 days) after the issuance of a statutory notice of deficiency during which the taxpayer is permitted to file a Tax Court petition and the IRS is prohibited from making an assessment. See I.R.C. §§ 6213(a) and 6213(c). Under Notice 2001-61, affected taxpayers are entitled to an additional 120 days to file a Tax Court petition in response to the notice of deficiency. In some cases, the period of limitations on assessment could expire prior to the expiration of the expanded period during which an affected tax- payer may file a Tax Court petition. (2) Similar to paragraph (1), if the last date otherwise prescribed by law for making a tax assessment is on or after November 2, 2001, and the taxpayer receives a 60-day postponement of time to file a Tax Court petition under para- graph (2) of the Additional Grant of Relief section of this notice, the last date otherwise prescribed by law for making a tax assessment is correspond- ingly postponed by 60 days. (3) Documents maintained by the IRS (including the Office of Chief Counsel) in New York City were destroyed or lost in the Terrorist Attack, or remain in buildings that are inaccessible. The destruction or loss of these documents (or the IRS's lack of access to them) will materially interfere with the IRS's ability to timely administer the Internal Revenue Code with respect to certain taxpayers. The taxpayers to whom these records relate are "affected tax- payers" for the limited purpose of this paragraph. In these cases, a 120-day postponement is granted for the follow- ing government acts if the last date for performance of the act is on or after November 2, 2001, and on or before November 30, 2001: making an as- sessment of any tax; issuing a statutory notice of deficiency; allowing a credit or refund of any tax; collecting by the Secretary, by levy or otherwise, the amount of any liability in respect of any tax; bringing suit by the United States, or any office on its behalf, in respect of any tax liability; returning property under section 6343; and the discharge of an executor from personal liability for a decedent's taxes under section 6905. The IRS will notify, as soon as practicable, any affected taxpayers, as defined under this paragraph, of the government act or acts that will be postponed. ## G.

DRAFTING INFORMATION This notice was drafted by the Office of Associate Chief Counsel, Procedure and Administration (Administrative Provisions and Judicial Practice Divi- sion). For further information regarding this notice you may call the toll-free disaster hotline at (866) 562-5227 or (202) 622-4940 (not a toll-free call). 26 CFR 301.7508-1: Time for performing certain acts postponed by reason of service in a combat zone or a Presidentially declared disaster. (Also Part I, 7508A; 301.7508A-1.) # Rev. Proc. 2001-53 ## SECTION 1. PURPOSE .01 This revenue procedure provides a list of time-sensitive acts, the per- formance of which may be postponed under sections 7508 and 7508A of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). Section 7508 of the Code postpones specified acts for individuals serving in the Armed Forces of the United States or serving in support of such Armed Forces in a combat zone. Section 7508A of the Code permits a post- ponement of specified acts for tax- payers affected by a Presidentially declared disaster. The list of acts in this revenue procedure supplements the list of postponed acts in section 7508(a)(1) of the Code and § 301.7508A-1(b) of the Regulations on Procedure and Administration. .02 This revenue procedure does not, by itself, provide any postponements under sections 7508 or 7508A. In order for taxpayers to be entitled to a post- ponement of any act listed in this reve- <!-- PageFooter="November 19, 2001" --> <!-- PageFooter="2001-47 I.R.B." --> <!-- PageBreak --> nue procedure, the IRS generally will publish a Notice or other guidance providing relief with respect to a spe- cific combat zone or Presidentially declared disaster. .03 This revenue procedure will be updated as needed when the IRS deter- mines that additional acts should be included in the list of postponed acts or that certain acts should be removed from the list. Also, taxpayers may recommend that additional acts be considered for postponement under sections 7508 and 7508A. See section 17 of this revenue procedure. ## SECTION 2. BACKGROUND .01 Section 7508(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code permits a postponement of certain time-sensitive acts for indi- viduals serving in the Armed Forces or in support of such Armed Forces in an area designated by the President as a combat zone under section 112. Among these acts are the filing of returns, the payment of tax, the filing of a Tax Court petition, and the filing of a refund claim. In the event of service in a combat zone, the acts specified in section 7508(a)(1) of the Code are automatically postponed. In addition, if the Service publishes a Notice or other guidance providing additional relief under section 7508, some or all of the acts listed in this revenue procedure may be postponed. Likewise, acts not listed in this revenue procedure may be included in published guidance. .02 Section 7508A of the Code pro- vides that certain acts performed by taxpayers and the government may be postponed if the taxpayer is affected by a Presidentially declared disaster. A "Presidentially declared disaster" is defined in section 1033(h)(3) of the Code. Section 301.7508A-1(d)(1) of the Regulations on Procedure and Administration defines seven types of affected taxpayers, including any indi- vidual whose principal residence (for purposes of 1033(h)(4)) is located in a "covered disaster area" and any busi- ness entity or sole proprietor whose principal place of business is located in a "covered disaster area." Postpone- ments under section 7508A are not available simply because a disaster has occurred. Generally, the IRS will publish a Notice or other guidance authorizing the postponement. Such guidance will describe the acts post- poned, the duration of the postpone- ment, and the location of the covered disaster area. See, for example, Notice 2001-30, 2001-14 I.R.B. 989 and Notice 97-62, 1997-2 C.B. 320, 1997- 49 I.R.B. 8. When a notice or other guidance for a particular disaster is published, the guidance generally will refer to this revenue procedure and may provide for a postponement of all the acts listed in the regulations and this revenue procedure. Alternatively, the guidance may provide that only certain acts listed in this revenue procedure are postponed based on the time when the disaster occurred, its severity, and other factors. ## SECTION 3. SCOPE This revenue procedure applies to individuals serving in the Armed Forces in a combat zone, or in support of such Armed Forces, and to affected taxpay- ers within the meaning of § 301.7508A- 1(d)(1) of the Regulations on Procedure and Administration. # SECTION 4. APPLICATION .01 The tables below list sections of the Internal Revenue Code and Treas- ury Regulations requiring the timely performance of specified acts that may be postponed under sections 7508 and 7508A. .02 In order to avoid unnecessary duplication, the following tables do not include acts specified in sections 7508 or 7508A or the regulations thereunder. Thus, for example, no mention is made in the following tables of the filing of tax returns or the payment of taxes (or an installment thereof) because these acts are already covered by sections 7508 and 7508A and the regulations thereunder. Also, the following tables do not refer to the making of accounting method elections or any other elections required to be made on tax returns or attachments thereto. Reference to these elections is not necessary because postponement of the filing of a tax return automatically postpones the making of any election required to be made on the return or an attachment thereto. .03 The following tables refer only to postponement of acts performed by taxpayers. Additional guidance will be published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin if a decision is made that acts performed by the government may be postponed under section 7508 or section 7508A. <!-- PageFooter="2001-47 I.R.B." --> <!-- PageFooter="November 19, 2001" --> <!-- PageBreak --> ## SECTION 5.

Reg. § 1.444- 3T(b)(1) A section 444 election must be made by filing Form 8716, Election to Have a Tax Year Other Than a Required Tax Year, with the Service Center. Generally, Form 8716 must be filed by the earlier of (a) the 15th day of the fifth month following the month that includes the first day of the taxable year for which the election will first be effective, or (b) the due date (without regard to extensions) of the income tax return resulting from the section 444 election. 6.

This filing requirement is also in Rev. Proc. 97-27, 1997-1 C.B. 680. (But see Rev. Proc. 99-49, 1999-2 C.B. 725, for automatic changes in method of accounting that can be made with the return.) <!-- PageFooter="November 19, 2001" --> <!-- PageFooter="2001-47 I.R.B." --> <!-- PageBreak --> ### SECTION 5.

Proc. 83-77 provides an automatic 90-day extension. 8. Sec. 461(h)(3) A taxpayer may elect the recurring item exception method of accounting under which certain items that are recurring in nature (for example, rebates, prizes, and provision of services under warranty contracts) are treated as incurred during a taxable year if, (among other requirements) for each such item, economic performance occurs within 81/2-months after the close of the taxable year. 9.

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 law 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 the 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 previously 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. # Abbreviations The following abbreviations in current use and formerly used will appear in material published in the Bulletin.
