Declaratory Judgments—Gift Tax

ACTION: Final regulations.

SUMMARY: This document contains final
regulations under section 7477 of the
Internal Revenue Code (Code) regarding
petitions filed with the United States
Tax Court for declaratory judgments
with respect to the valuation of gifts.
Changes to the applicable law were
made by section 506(c)(1) of the
Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. These final
regulations primarily affect individuals
who are donors of gifts. The final
regulations provide rules for
determining whether a donor may
petition the Tax Court for a
determination regarding the value of a
gift, including guidance regarding the
definition of ‘‘exhaustion of
administrative remedies.’’
DATES: Effective date: These regulations
are effective September 9, 2009.
Applicability date: For the date of
applicability, see § 301.7477–1(f).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Deborah S. Ryan or George Masnik (202)
622–3090 (not a toll free number).
Background
Section 7477, enacted in conjunction
with other provisions as part of the
Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (TRA) (Pub.
L. 105–34, 111 Stat. 855), provides a
declaratory judgment procedure
pursuant to which taxpayers may
contest in the United States Tax Court
an IRS determination regarding the
value of a gift. Prior law did not provide
a judicial remedy in situations where
the proposed IRS adjustment would not
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:13 Sep 08, 2009
Jkt 217001
result in a gift tax deficiency or a tax
overpayment. The new procedure
applies, for example, where an increase
in gift tax determined under section
2502 is offset by the taxpayer’s
applicable credit amount under section
2505(a), so that no additional tax is
assessed as a result of a valuation
increase. Because there is no tax
deficiency, in the absence of section
7477, the taxpayer would be unable to
challenge the IRS determination, even
though, upon the expiration of the
statute of limitations, that determination
would become binding for purposes of
calculating the cumulative gift tax on all
future gifts of that taxpayer, as well as
the taxpayer’s estate tax liability. See
H.R. Conf. Rep. No. 105–220, at 407–408
(1997).
On June 9, 2008, proposed regulations
under section 7477 were published in
the Federal Register (REG–143716–04,
73 FR 32503, 2008–25 IRB 1170). The
IRS received no written or oral
comments responding to the notice of
proposed rulemaking. No public hearing
was requested or held.
The final regulations include a few
clarifications. In particular, under
section 7477, in order to be eligible for
the declaratory judgment procedure, the
Tax Court must determine that the
donor exhausted all administrative
remedies. In general, the proposed
regulations provide that the IRS will
consider a donor to have exhausted all
administrative remedies if an Appeals
conference is requested timely and the
donor (or an authorized representative)
‘‘participates fully’’ in the Appeals
process. The final regulations contain a
separate subsection specifying that full
participation requires timely submission
of requested information and disclosure
of all relevant information regarding the
controversy. In addition, a provision has
been added specifying that, if Appeals
does not grant the donor’s request for a
conference, the donor will be treated as
having exhausted all administrative
remedies if, after filing a Tax Court
petition for a declaratory judgment, the
donor (or authorized representative)
participates fully in the Appeals office
consideration when offered by the IRS
while the case is in docketed status.
Special Analyses
It has been determined that this
Treasury decision is not a significant
regulatory action as defined in
Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a
regulatory assessment is not required. It
also has been determined that section
553(b) of the Administrative Procedure
Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply
to these regulations and, because these
regulations do not impose on small
PO 00000
Frm 00045
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
46347
entities a collection of information
requirement, the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) does not apply.
Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Code,
the notice of proposed rulemaking
preceding this regulation was submitted
to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the
Small Business Administration for
comment on its impact on small
business.
Drafting Information
The principal authors of these final
regulations are Deborah Ryan and Juli
Ro Kim, Office of the Associate Chief
Counsel (Passthroughs and Special
Industries), IRS. Other personnel from
the IRS and the Treasury Department
participated in their development.

Adoption of Amendments to the
Regulations
Accordingly, 26 CFR part 301 is
amended as follows:
■
PART 301—PROCEDURE AND
ADMINISTRATION
Paragraph 1. The authority citation
for part 301 continues to read in part as
follows:
■
Authority: 26 U.S.C. 7805 * * *
Par. 2. Section 301.7477–1 is revised
to read as follows:
■
§ 301.7477–1 Declaratory judgments
relating to the value of certain gifts for gift
tax purposes.
(a) In general. If the adjustment(s)
proposed by the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) will not result in any
deficiency in or refund of the donor’s
gift tax liability for the calendar year,
and if the requirements contained in
paragraph (d) of this section are
satisfied, then the declaratory judgment
procedure under section 7477 is
available to the donor for determining
the amount of one or more of the
donor’s gifts during that calendar year
for Federal gift tax purposes.
(b) Declaratory judgment procedure—
(1) In general. If a donor does not
resolve a dispute with the IRS
concerning the value of a transfer for gift
tax purposes at the Examination level,
the donor will be sent a notice of
preliminary determination of value
(Letter 950–G or such other document as
may be utilized by the IRS for this
purpose from time to time, but referred
to in this section as Letter 950–G),
inviting the donor to file a formal
