Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 109 / Thursday, June 7, 2007 / Proposed Rules jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSALS (f) Allocation of income and loss by a corporation that is a member of the expanded affiliated group for only a portion of the year—(1) In general. A corporation that becomes or ceases to be a member of an EAG during its taxable year must allocate its taxable income or loss, QPAI, and W–2 wages between the portion of the taxable year that it is a member of the EAG and the portion of the taxable year that it is not a member of the EAG. This allocation of items is made by using the pro rata allocation method described in this paragraph (f)(1). Under the pro rata allocation method, an equal portion of a corporation’s taxable income or loss, QPAI, and W–2 wages for the taxable year is assigned to each day of the corporation’s taxable year. Those items assigned to those days that the corporation was a member of the EAG are then aggregated. * * * * * (g) * * * (3) Example. The following example illustrates the application of paragraphs (f) and (g) of this section: Example. (i) Facts. Corporations X and Y, calendar year corporations, are members of the same EAG for the entire 2010 taxable year. Corporation Z, also a calendar year corporation, is a member of the EAG of which X and Y are members for the first half of 2010 and not a member of any EAG for the second half of 2010. During the 2010 taxable year, neither X, Y, nor Z join in the filing of a consolidated Federal income tax return. Assume that X, Y, and Z each have W–2 wages in excess of the section 199(b) wage limitation for all relevant periods. In 2010, X has taxable income of $2,000 and QPAI of $600, Y has a taxable loss of $400 and QPAI of ($200), and Z has taxable income of $1,400 and QPAI of $2,400. (ii) Analysis. Pursuant to the pro rata allocation method, $700 of Z’s 2010 taxable income and $1,200 of Z’s 2010 QPAI are allocated to the first half of the 2010 taxable year (the period in which Z is a member of the EAG) and $700 of Z’s 2010 taxable income and $1,200 of Z’s 2010 QPAI are allocated to the second half of the 2010 taxable year (the period in which Z is not a member of any EAG). Accordingly, in 2010, the EAG has taxable income of $2,300 (X’s $2,000 + Y’s ($400) + Z’s $700) and QPAI of $1,600 (X’s $600 + Y’s ($200) + Z’s $1,200). The EAG’s section 199 deduction for 2010 is therefore $144 (9% of the lesser of the EAG’s $2,300 of taxable income or $1,600 of QPAI). Pursuant to § 1.199–7(c)(1), this $144 deduction is allocated to X, Y, and Z in proportion to their respective QPAI. Accordingly, X is allocated $48 of the EAG’s section 199 deduction, Y is allocated $0 of the EAG’s section 199 deduction, and Z is allocated $96 of the deduction. For the second half of 2010, Z has taxable income of $700 and QPAI of $1,200. Therefore, for the second half of 2010, Z has a section 199 deduction of $63 (9% of the lesser of its $700 VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:58 Jun 06, 2007 Jkt 211001 31483 taxable income or $1,200 QPAI for the second half of 2010). Accordingly, X’s 2010 section 199 deduction is $48, Y’s 2010 section 199 deduction is $0, and Z’s 2010 section 199 deduction is $159, the sum of the $96 section 199 deduction of the EAG allocated to Z for the first half of 2010 and Z’s $63 section 199 deduction for the second half of 2010. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Par. 4. Section 1.199–8 is amended by: 1. Adding two sentences at the end of paragraph (a). 2. Adding new paragraphs (i)(8) and (i)(9). The revisions and additions read as follows: Unified Rule for Loss on Subsidiary Stock; Correction § 1.199–8 Other rules. (a) * * * For purposes of §§ 1.199–1 through 1.199–9, use of terms such as payment, paid, incurred, or paid or incurred is not intended to provide any specific rule based upon the use of one term versus another. In general, the use of the term payment, paid, incurred, or paid or incurred is intended to convey the appropriate standard under the taxpayer’s method of accounting. * * * * * (i) * * * (8) Qualified film produced by the taxpayer. Section 1.199–3(k) is proposed to be applicable to taxable years beginning on or after the date the final regulations are published in the Federal Register. Until the date the final regulations are published in the Federal Register, taxpayers may rely on § 1.199– 3(k) of these proposed regulations for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2004. However, for taxable years beginning before June 1, 2006, a taxpayer may rely on § 1.199–3(k) of the proposed regulations only if the taxpayer does not apply Notice 2005–14 (2005–1 CB 498) (see § 601.601(d)(2)(ii)(b) of this chapter) or REG–105847–05 (2005–2 CB 987) (see § 601.601(d)(2)(ii)(b) of this chapter) to the taxable year.

ACTION: Correction to notice of proposed rulemaking. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to a notice of proposed rulemaking that were published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, January 23, 2007 (72 FR 2964). These regulations apply to corporations filing consolidated returns. The regulations implement aspects of the repeal of the General Utilities doctrine by redetermining members’ bases in subsidiary stock and requiring certain reductions in subsidiary stock basis on a transfer of the stock. The regulations promote the clear reflection of income by redetermining members’ bases in subsidiary’s stock and reducing the subsidiary’s attributes to prevent the duplication of loss, and they also, provide guidance limiting the application of section 362(e)(2) with respect to transactions between members of a consolidated group.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The proposed regulations provide guidance on what portion of a trust is includible in the deceased grantor’s gross estate under section 2036 if the grantor retained the right to use property in the trust or the right to receive from that trust an annuity, unitrust, or other income payment for the grantor’s life, for any period not ascertainable without reference to the grantor’s death, or for any period that does not in fact end before the grantor’s death. In addition, the proposed regulations provide guidance on the possible application of section 2039 to trusts in which the decedent has retained the use of property held in the trust or has retained an annuity, PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 31487 unitrust, or other income interest that is includible in the decedent’s gross estate under section 2036. These trusts include without limitation certain charitable trusts (collectively CRTs) such as charitable remainder annuity trusts (CRATs) within the meaning of section 664(d)(1), charitable remainder unitrusts (CRUTs) within the meaning of section 664(d)(2) or (d)(3), and charitable remainder trusts that do not qualify under section 664, as well as other trusts established by a grantor (collectively GRTs) such as grantor retained annuity trusts (GRATs), grantor retained unitrusts (GRUTs), and various forms of grantor retained income trusts (GRITs), such as qualified personal residence trusts (QPRTs) and personal residence trusts (PRTs). A CRT is within the scope of these proposed regulations whether or not the CRT meets the qualifications of sections 664(d)(1), (2), or (3) and a GRT is within the scope of these proposed regulations whether or not the grantor’s retained interest is a ‘‘qualified interest’’ as defined in section 2702(b). This guidance does not apply to trusts or other contractual arrangements arising by reason of a decedent’s employment and generally does not apply to annuities purchased by the decedent, as these types of interests fall within the ambit of section 2039. Under section 2036(a), a decedent’s gross estate includes the value of any interest in property transferred by the decedent in which the decedent retained for the decedent’s life, for any period not ascertainable without reference to the decedent’s death, or for any period that does not in fact end before the decedent’s death, either the possession or enjoyment of the property or a right to the income from the property, or the right (either alone or with another) to designate the persons who may possess or enjoy the property or its income. Section 20.2036–1(a) provides generally that, if the decedent retained or reserved an interest with respect to all of the property transferred by the decedent, the amount to be included in the gross estate under section 2036 is the value of the entire property on the date of death. If the decedent retained a right with respect to only part of the property transferred, the amount to be included in the decedent’s gross estate under section 2036 is the corresponding proportionate amount of the corpus. Rev. Rul. 76–273, 1976–2 CB 268, and Rev. Rul. 82–105, 1982–1 CB 133 (See § 601.601(d)(2)), generally provide that the portion of the corpus of a CRUT and CRAT includible in the decedent’s gross estate under section E:\FR\FM\07JNP1.SGM 07JNP1

Unified Rule for Loss on Subsidiary Stock; Correction

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.

ACTION: Correction to notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to a notice of proposed 
rulemaking that were published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, 
January 23, 2007 (72 FR 2964). These regulations apply to corporations 
filing consolidated returns. The regulations implement aspects of the 
repeal of the General Utilities doctrine by redetermining members' 
bases in subsidiary stock and requiring certain reductions in 
subsidiary stock basis on a transfer of the stock. The regulations 
promote the clear reflection of income by redetermining members' bases 
in subsidiary's stock and reducing the subsidiary's attributes to 
prevent the duplication of loss, and they also, provide guidance 
limiting the application of section 362(e)(2) with respect to 
transactions between members of a consolidated group.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Theresa Abell (202) 622-7700 or Phoebe 
Bennett (202) 622-7770 (not toll-free numbers).
