Passenger Vessels Accessibility Guidelines, 49248-49249 [2013-19595]

Download as PDF 49248 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 156 / Tuesday, August 13, 2013 / Proposed Rules ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS-1 request for a reconsideration is not a qualifying election under § 1.6015–2 or 1.6015–3, or a request under § 1.6015– 4, for purposes of § 1.6015–1(h)(5). Any reconsideration of a final administrative determination by the IRS, and any notice or letter issued to the requesting spouse as a result of the reconsideration (such as Letter 4277C, Letter 5186C, Letter 5187C, or Letter 5188C), is not the IRS’s final determination for purposes of section 6015(e) and is not subject to review by the Tax Court under section 6015(e) or § 1.6015–7. (3) Examples. The following examples illustrate the rules of this paragraph (c): Example 1. In January 2008, W became a limited partner in partnership P, and in February 2009, she started her own business from which she earned $100,000 of gross income for the taxable year 2009. H and W filed a joint Federal income tax return for 2009, on which they claimed $20,000 in losses from the investment in P, and they omitted W’s self-employment tax. In March 2011, the IRS commenced an examination under the provisions of the Code for TEFRA partnership proceedings and sent H and W a notice of the proceeding under section 6223(a)(1). In September 2011, the IRS opened an examination of H and W’s 2009 joint return regarding the omitted selfemployment tax. In 2012, H decides to pursue relief under section 6015. H may file a request for relief as to liability for selfemployment tax because he has received a notification of an examination informing him of potential liability. A request for relief regarding the TEFRA partnership proceeding, however, is premature under paragraph (b)(6) of this section. H must wait until the IRS sends him a notice of computational adjustment or assesses any liability resulting from the TEFRA partnership proceeding before he may file a request for relief from that liability. An assessment of tax in the TEFRA partnership proceeding would be separate from an assessment for the selfemployment tax. Therefore, a subsequent request from H for relief from any liability resulting from the TEFRA partnership proceeding will not be precluded under this paragraph (c) by a previous request that H filed for relief from self-employment tax liability. Example 2. On October 21, 2009, H filed a Form 8857 requesting relief under §§ 1.6015–2, 1.6015–3, and 1.6015–4 for an assessed deficiency relating to his joint income tax return for tax year 2004. On August 11, 2010, the IRS issued a final administrative determination denying H relief from the liability for tax year 2004. Under section 6015(e), H had until November 9, 2010, to file a petition to the Tax Court to challenge the denial of relief. H did not timely file a petition. On October 3, 2011, H submitted information with respect to his claim for relief for tax year 2004 that he did not previously provide. The IRS considered the new information pursuant to its established reconsideration process in IRM 25.15.17 (Rev. 03/08/2013) and informed H on January 25, 2012, via Letter 4277C that he VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:30 Aug 12, 2013 Jkt 229001 was still not entitled to relief under any subsection of section 6015. Letter 4277C is not a final administrative determination and did not confer any new rights for H to file a petition to the Tax Court to challenge the final administrative determination issued on August 11, 2010, or the denial of relief from the IRS’s reconsideration. Par 6. Section 1.6015–9 is revised to read as follows: ■ § 1.6015–9 Effective/applicability date. (a) In general. Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, §§ 1.6015– 0 through 1.6015–9 are applicable for all elections under § 1.6015–2 or 1.6015–3 or any requests for relief under § 1.6015–4 filed on or after July 18, 2002. (b) Except for the rules for determining the timeliness of an election under § 1.6015–2 or 1.6015–3, or a request for equitable relief under § 1.6015–4 in paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) of § 1.6015–5, § 1.6015–5 is applicable to any election under § 1.6015–2 or 1.6015–3, or to any request for equitable relief under § 1.6015–4, filed on or after the date of publication of the Treasury decision adopting these rules as final regulations in the Federal Register. The rules for determining the timeliness of an election under § 1.6015–2 or 1.6015–3, or a request for equitable relief under § 1.6015–4 in paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) of § 1.6015–5 are applicable to any election under § 1.6015–2 or 1.6015–3, or to any request for equitable relief under § 1.6015–4, filed on or after July 25, 2011 (the date that Notice 2011–70, 2011–32 IRB 135, was issued to the public).
