Charitable contributions; patents.Under section 170(a) of the
Code, a taxpayer’s contribution to a qualified charity of: (1) a li-
cense to use a patent is not deductible if the taxpayer retains any
substantial right in the patent; (2) a patent subject to a condi-
tional reversion is not deductible unless the likelihood of the re-
version is so remote as to be negligible; and (3) a patent subject
to a license or transfer restriction generally is deductible, but the
restriction reduces the amount of the charitable contribution for
section 170 purposes.

Provide America’s taxpayers top quality service by helping them

the tax law with integrity and fairness to all.
Introduction
The Internal Revenue Bulletin is the authoritative instrument of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue for announcing official rul-
ings and procedures of the Internal Revenue Service and for pub-
lishing Treasury Decisions, Executive Orders, Tax Conventions,
legislation, court decisions, and other items of general inter-
est. It is published weekly and may be obtained from the Super-
intendent 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 sub-
stantive 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 pub-
lished rulings apply retroactively unless otherwise indicated. Pro-
cedures relating solely to matters of internal management are
not published; however, statements of internal practices and pro-
cedures that affect the rights and duties of taxpayers are pub-
lished.
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 taxpay-
ers or technical advice to Service field offices, identifying de-
tails 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 Unpublished rulings will not be re-
lied on, used, or cited as precedents by Service personnel in the
disposition of other cases. In applying published rulings and pro-
cedures, the effect of subsequent legislation, regulations, court
decisions, rulings, and procedures must be considered, and Ser-
vice personnel and others concerned are cautioned against reach-
ing 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 provisions of
the Internal 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, Legisla-
tion and Related Committee Reports.
Part III.—Administrative, Procedural, and Miscellaneous.
To the extent practicable, pertinent cross references to these sub-
jects are contained in the other Parts and Subparts. Also in-
cluded in this part are Bank Secrecy Act Administrative Rulings.
Bank Secrecy Act Administrative Rulings are issued by the De-
partment of the Treasury’s Office of the Assistant Secretary (En-
forcement).
Part IV.—Items of General Interest.
This part includes notices of proposed rulemakings, disbar-
ment 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 pe-
riod, 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.

Part I. Rulings and Decisions Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
Section 139.—Disaster Relief
Payments
Taxpayers are informed of the areas declared
by the President to qualify as major disaster or
emergency areas during 2002 under the Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. See Rev.
Rul. 2003–29, on this page.
Section 165.—Losses
26 CFR 1.165–11: Election in respect of losses
attributable to a disaster.
(Also § 139, 1033; 1.1033(1)–1.)
Election in respect of losses attribut-
able to a disaster.This ruling lists the ar-
eas declared by the President to qualify as
major disaster or emergency areas during
2002 under the Disaster Relief and Emer-
gency Assistance Act.
Rev. Rul. 2003–29
Under § 165(i) of the Internal Revenue
Code, if a taxpayer suffers a loss attribut-
able to a disaster occurring in an area sub-
sequently determined by the President of the
United States to warrant assistance by the
Federal Government under the Disaster Re-
lief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42
U.S.C. §§ 5121–5204c (1988 & Supp. V
1993) (the Act), the taxpayer may elect to
claim a deduction for that loss on the tax-
payer’s federal income tax return for the
taxable year immediately preceding the tax-
able year in which the disaster occurred. For
purposes of § 165(i), a disaster includes an
event declared a major disaster or an emer-
gency under the Act.
Section 1.165–11(e) of the Income Tax
Regulations provides that the election to de-
duct a disaster loss for the preceding year
must be made by filing a return, an
amended return, or a claim for refund on
or before the later of (1) the due date of the
taxpayer’s income tax return (determined
without regard to any extension of time to
file the return) for the taxable year in which
the disaster actually occurred, or (2) the due
date of the taxpayer’s income tax return (de-
termined with regard to any extension of
time to file the return) for the taxable year
immediately preceding the taxable year in
which the disaster actually occurred.
The provisions of § 165(i) apply only to
losses that are otherwise deductible under
§ 165(a). An individual taxpayer may de-
duct losses if they are incurred in a trade
or business, if they are incurred in a trans-
action entered into for profit, or if they are
casualty losses under § 165(c)(3).
A determination by the President that an
area warrants assistance by the Federal Gov-
ernment under the Act is also relevant to
§ 139(a) (regarding the exclusion from gross
income of certain qualified disaster relief
payments) and § 1033(h) (regarding the de-
ferral of gain realized upon the involun-
tary conversion of certain property).
The President has determined that, dur-
ing 2002, the areas listed below have been
adversely affected by disasters of suffi-
cient severity and magnitude to warrant as-
sistance by the Federal Government under
the Act.
A cumulative list of the areas warrant-
ing assistance each year under the Act (be-
ginning in 1998) is available at the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
Internet site atwww.fema.gov.Accord-
ingly, the Internal Revenue Service re-

Section 170.—Charitable,
etc., Contributions and Gifts
26 CFR 1.170–1: Charitable, etc., contributions
and gifts; allowance of deduction.
(Also§§170; 1.170A–7.)
Charitable contributions; patents.Un-
der section 170(a) of the Code, a taxpay-
er’s contribution to a qualified charity of:
(1) a license to use a patent is not deduct-
ible if the taxpayer retains any substantial
right in the patent; (2) a patent subject to
a conditional reversion is not deductible un-
less the likelihood of the reversion is so re-
mote as to be negligible; and (3) a patent
subject to a license or transfer restriction
generally is deductible, but the restriction
reduces the amount of the charitable con-
tribution for section 170 purposes.
Rev. Rul. 2003–28
ISSUES
(1) Is a taxpayer’s contribution to a
qualified charity of a license to use a patent
deductible under§170(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code if the taxpayer retains any
substantial right in the patent?
(2) Is a taxpayer’s contribution to a
qualified charity of a patent subject to a
conditional reversion deductible under
§170(a)?
(3) Is a taxpayer’s contribution to a
qualified charity of a patent subject to a li-
cense or transfer restriction deductible un-
der§170(a)?
FACTS
Situation 1. Xcontributes to University,
an organization described in§170(c)
(qualified charity), a license to use a
patent, but retains the right to license the
patent to others.
Situation 2. Ycontributes a patent to
University subject to the condition that
A, a faculty member of University and
an expert in the technology covered by
the patent, continue to be a faculty mem-
ber of University during the remaining
life of the patent. IfAceases to be a
member of University’s faculty before
the patent expires, the patent will revert
toY. The patent will expire 15 years
after the dateYcontributes it to Univer-
sity. On the date of the contribution, the
likelihood thatAwill cease to be a
member of the faculty before the patent
expires is not so remote as to be
negligible.
Situation 3. Zcontributes to University
all ofZ’s interests in a patent. The trans-
fer agreement provides that University
may not sell or license the patent for a
period of 3 years after the transfer. This
restriction does not result in any benefit
toZ, and under no circumstances can the
patent revert toZ.
LAW AND ANALYSIS
Issue (1)
Section 170(a) provides, subject to cer-
tain limitations, a deduction for any chari-
table contribution, as defined in§170(c),
payment of which is made within the tax-
able year.
Section 170(f)(3) denies a charitable con-
tribution deduction for certain contribu-
tions of partial interests in property. Section
170(f)(3)(A) denies a charitable contribu-
tion deduction for a contribution of less than
the taxpayer’s entire interest in property un-
less the value of the interest contributed
would be allowable as a deduction under
§170(f)(2) if the donor were to transfer the
interest in trust.
Section 170(f)(2) allows a charitable con-
tribution deduction, in the case of prop-
erty that the donor transfers in trust, if the
trust is a charitable remainder annuity trust,
a charitable remainder unitrust, or a pooled
income fund. Further,§170(f)(2) allows a
deduction for the value of an interest in
property (other than a remainder interest)
that the donor transfers in trust if the in-
terest is in the form of a guaranteed annu-
ity or the trust instrument specifies that the
interest is a fixed percentage, distributed
yearly, of the fair market value of the trust
property (to be determined yearly) and the
grantor is treated as the owner of such in-
terest for purposes of applying§671.
By its terms,§170(f)(3)(A) does not ap-
ply to, and therefore does not disallow a de-
duction for, a contribution of an interest that,
even though partial, is the taxpayer’s en-
tire interest in the property. If, however, the
property in which such partial interest ex-
ists was divided in order to create such in-
terest, and thus avoid§170(f)(3)(A), a
deduction is not allowed. Section 1.170A–
7(a)(2)(i) of the Income Tax Regulations.
Sections 170(f)(3)(B)(ii) and 1.170A–
7(b)(1) allow a deduction under§170 for
a contribution not in trust of a partial in-
terest that is less than the donor’s entire in-
terest in property if the partial interest is an
undivided portion of the donor’s entire in-
terest. An undivided portion of a donor’s
entire interest in property consists of a frac-
tion or percentage of each and every sub-
stantial interest or right owned by the donor
in such property and must extend over the
entire term of the donor’s interest in such
property and in other property into which
such property is converted. A charitable con-
tribution in perpetuity of an interest in prop-
erty not in trust does not constitute a
contribution of an undivided portion of the
March 17, 20035942003–11 I.R.B.

donor’s entire interest if the donor trans-
fers some specific rights and retains other
substantial rights.
In enacting§170(f)(3), Congress was
concerned with situations in which taxpay-
ers might obtain a double benefit by tak-
ing a deduction for the present value of a
contributed interest while also excluding
from income subsequent receipts from the
donated interest. In addition, Congress was
concerned with situations in which, be-
cause the charity does not obtain all or an
undivided portion of significant rights in the
property, the amount of a charitable con-
tribution deduction might not correspond to
the value of the benefit ultimately received
by the charity. The legislative solution was
to guard against the possibility that such
problems might arise by denying a deduc-
tion in situations involving partial inter-
ests, unless the contribution is cast in certain
prescribed forms.SeeH.R. Rep. No. 91–
413 at 57–58 (1969), 1969–3 C.B. 200,
237–239; S. Rep. No. 91–552 at 87 (1969),
1969–3 C.B. 423, 479. The scope of
§170(f)(3) thus extends beyond situations
in which there is actual or probable ma-
nipulation of the non-charitable interest to
the detriment of the charitable interest, or
situations in which the donor has merely as-
signed the right to future income. Rev. Rul.
88–37, 1988–1 C.B. 97.
Section 170(f)(3)(A) and§1.170A–
7(a)(1) treat a contribution of the right to
use property that the donor owns, such as
a contribution of a rent-free lease, as a con-
tribution of less than the taxpayer’s entire
interest in the property. Similarly, if a tax-
payer contributes an interest in motion pic-
ture films, but retains the right to make
reproductions of such films and exploit the
reproductions commercially,§1.170A–
7(b)(1)(i) treats the contribution as one of
less than the taxpayer’s entire interest in the
property. In both cases, the taxpayer has not
contributed an undivided portion of its en-
tire interest in the property. Accordingly, nei-
ther contribution is deductible under
§170(a).
InSituation 1,Xcontributes a license to
use a patent, but retains a substantial right,
i.e., the right to license the patent to oth-
ers. The license granted to University is
similar to the rent-free lease described in
§1.170A–7(a)(1) and the partial interest in
motion picture films described in§1.170A–
7(b)(1)(i), in that it constitutes neitherX’s
entire interest in the patent, nor a fraction
or percentage of each and every substan-
tial interest or right thatXowns in the
patent. As a result, the contribution inSitu-
ation 1constitutes a transfer of a partial in-
terest, and no deduction under§170(a) is
allowable. The result would be the same if
Xhad retained any other substantial right
in the patent. For example, no deduction
would be allowable ifXhad contributed the
patent (or license to use the patent) solely
for use in a particular geographic area while
retaining the right to use the patent (or li-
cense) in other geographic areas.
Issue (2)
Section 1.170A–1(e) provides that if, as
of the date of a gift, a transfer of prop-
erty for charitable purposes is dependent
upon the performance of some act or the
happening of a precedent event in order for
it to become effective, no deduction is al-
lowable unless the possibility that the chari-
table transfer will not become effective is
so remote as to be negligible. Similarly, un-
der§1.170A–7(a)(3), if, as of the date of
a gift, a transfer of property for charitable
purposes may be defeated by the perfor-
mance of some act or the happening of
some event, no deduction is allowable un-
less the possibility that such act or event
will occur is so remote as to be negligible.
InSituation 2,Y’s contribution of the
patent is contingent uponAcontinuing as
a member of University’s faculty for an ad-
ditional 15 years, the remaining life of the
patent. On the date of the contribution, the
possibility thatAwill cease to be a mem-
ber of the faculty before the expiration of
the patent is not so remote as to be negli-
gible. Therefore, no deduction is allow-
able under§170(a).
Issue (3)
Section 1.170A–1(c)(1) provides that if
a charitable contribution is made in prop-
erty other than money, the amount of the
contribution is the fair market value of the
property at the time of the contribution, re-
duced as provided in§170(e).
Section 1.170A–1(c)(2) provides that the
fair market value is the price at which the
property would change hands between a
willing buyer and a willing seller, neither
being under any compulsion to buy or sell
and both having reasonable knowledge of
relevant facts.
Rev. Rul. 85–99, 1985–2 C.B. 83, pro-
vides that when a donor places a restric-
tion on the marketability or use of property,
the amount of the charitable contribution is
the fair market value of the property at the
time of the contribution determined in light
of the restriction.See also Cooley v. Com-
missioner, 33 T.C. 223, 225 (1959),aff’d
per curiam, 283 F.2d 945 (2d Cir. 1960).
InSituation 3,Ztransfers to Univer-
sity all ofZ’s interests in the patent with
the restriction that University cannot trans-
fer or license the patent for a period of 3
years after the transfer. Unlike the condi-
tional reversion inSituation 2, the restric-
tion on transfer or license is not a condition
that can defeat the transfer. Thus,Z’s con-
tribution is deductible under§170(a), as-
suming all other applicable requirements of
§170 are satisfied, and subject to the per-
centage limitations of§170.SeePublica-
tion 526,Charitable Contributions
(describing other requirements for, and limi-
tations on, the deductibility of charitable
contributions). Under§1.170A–1(c), how-
ever, the restriction reduces what would oth-
erwise be the fair market value of the
patent, and therefore reduces the amount of
Z’s charitable contribution. IfZhad re-
ceived a benefit in exchange for the con-
tribution, the value of the benefit would
further reduce the amount ofZ’s chari-
table contribution.See§1.170A–1(h); Rev.
Rul. 67–246, 1967–2 C.B. 104.See also
Singer Co. v. United States, 449 F.2d 413,
423–424 (Ct. Cl. 1971).
HOLDINGS
Under the facts of this revenue ruling:
(1) A taxpayer’s contribution to a quali-
fied charity of a license to use a patent is
not deductible under§170(a) if the tax-
payer retains any substantial right in the
patent.
(2) A taxpayer’s contribution to a quali-
fied charity of a patent subject to a condi-
tional reversion is not deductible under
§170(a), unless the likelihood of the re-
version is so remote as to be negligible.
(3) A taxpayer’s contribution to a quali-
fied charity of a patent subject to a li-
cense or transfer restriction is deductible
under§170(a), assuming all other appli-
cable requirements of§170 are satisfied,
and subject to the percentage limitations of
§170, but the restriction reduces what
would otherwise be the fair market value
of the patent at the time of the contribu-
2003–11 I.R.B.595March 17, 2003

tion, and therefore reduces the amount of
the charitable contribution for§170 pur-
poses.

butions.Y’spro ratashare ofX’s income
forX’s 2001 taxable year is $1,000 (com-
prised entirely of nonseparately computed
income of $10 per share), whichYprop-

Yholds five shares ofXstock for the ben-
efit ofAfrom January 1 to December 31,
2001. On December 31, 2001, Y distrib-
utes the five shares ofXstock toA, sub-
ject toA’s right to requireXto repurchase
the shares under a fair valuation formula in

LAW
Section 501(a) provides that an organi-
zation described in§401(a) is exempt from
tax under subtitle A of the Code. Section
401(a) provides that a trust created or or-
ganized in the United States and forming
a part of a stock bonus, pension, or profit-
sharing plan of an employer for the exclu-
sive benefit of its employees or their
beneficiaries constitutes a qualified trust if
the requirements of that section are satis-
fied.
Section 4975(e)(7) provides that an
ESOP is a defined contribution plan (i)
which is either a stock bonus plan which
is qualified or a stock bonus and money
purchase plan both of which are qualified
under§401(a), and which are designed to
invest primarily in employer securities and
(ii) which is otherwise defined in regula-
tions prescribed by the Secretary. A plan is
not treated as an ESOP unless it meets the
requirements of§409(h),§409(o), and if
applicable,§409(n),§409(p), and§664(g),
and, if the employer has a registration-
type class of securities (as defined in
§409(e)(4)), it meets the requirements of
section 409(e).
Section 511(a)(1) imposes a tax on the
unrelated business taxable income (as de-
fined in§512(a)) of organizations described
in§511(a)(2), which includes organiza-
tions described in§401(a). Section
512(e)(1) provides that if an organization
described in§1361(c)(6) holds stock in an
S corporation, the interest is treated as an
interest in an unrelated trade or business
and, notwithstanding any other provisions
of Part III of Subchapter F, all items of in-
come, loss, or deduction taken into ac-
count under§1366(a) and any gain or loss
on the disposition of the stock in the S cor-
poration are taken into account in comput-
ing the unrelated business taxable income
of the organization. Section 512(e)(3) pro-
vides that§512(e) does not apply to em-
ployer securities (within the meaning of
§409(l)) held by an ESOP described in
§4975(e)(7).
Section 1366(a)(1) provides that, in de-
termining the tax of a shareholder for the
shareholder’s taxable year in which the tax-
able year of the S corporation ends, there
is taken into account the shareholder’spro
ratashare of the corporation’s (i) items of
income (including tax-exempt income), loss,
deduction, or credit the separate treatment
of which could affect the liability for tax
of any shareholder and (ii) nonseparately
computed income or loss.
Under§1367(a)(1), the basis of each
shareholder’s stock in an S corporation is
increased for any period by the sum of the
following items determined with respect to
that shareholder for such period: (i) items
of income described in§1366(a)(1)(A), (ii)
any nonseparately computed income de-
termined under§1366(a)(1)(B), and (iii) the
excess of the deductions for depletion over
the basis of the property subject to deple-
tion.
Under§1367(a)(2), the basis of each
shareholder’s stock in an S corporation is
decreased for any period (but not below
zero) by the sum of the following items de-
termined with respect to that shareholder for
the period: (i) distributions by the corpo-
ration which were not includible in the in-
come of the shareholder by reason of
§1368, (ii) the items of loss and deduc-
tion described in§1366(a)(1)(A), (iii) any
nonseparately computed loss determined un-
der§1366(a)(1)(B), (iv) any expense of the
corporation not deductible in computing its
taxable income and not properly charge-
able to capital account, and (v) the amount
of the shareholder’s deduction for deple-
tion for any oil and gas property held by
the S corporation to the extent such de-
duction does not exceed the proportion-
ate share of the adjusted basis of such
property allocated to such shareholder un-
der§613A(c)(11)(B).
Section 402(a) provides that any amount
distributed by an employees’trust described
in§401(a) that is exempt from tax under
§501(a) is taxable to the distributee in the
taxable year of the distributee in which dis-
tributed, under§72 (relating to annuities).
Section 402(e)(4)(B) provides that, for
purposes of§402(a) and§72, in the case
of any lump-sum distribution that includes
securities of the employer corporation, there
is excluded from gross income the net un-
realized appreciation (NUA) attributable to
that part of the distribution that consists of
securities of the employer corporation.
Section 402(e)(4)(C) provides that NUA
and the resulting adjustments to basis are
determined in accordance with regulations
prescribed by the Secretary.
Section 1.402(a)–1(b)(2) of the Income
Tax Regulations provides that the amount
of NUA in securities of the employer cor-
poration that are distributed by the trust is
2003–11 I.R.B.597March 17, 2003

the excess of the market value of the se-
curities at the time of distribution over the
cost or other basis of the securities to the
trust.
ANALYSIS
Stock of an S corporation held by an
ESOP is subject to the same basis adjust-
ments under§1367(a) as stock held by any
other S corporation shareholder. Accord-
ingly,Ymust increase its basis inXstock
under§1367(a)(1) for the items of in-
come described in§1366(a)(1). Specifi-
cally,Y’spro ratashare ofX’s
nonseparately computed income forX’s
2001 taxable year increases the basis of
each share ofXstock held byYby $10.
Therefore, the basis of each of the five
shares ofXstock held byYfor the ben-
efit ofAis increased by $10 from $100 to
$110.
Under§402(e)(4) and§1.402(a)–
1(b)(2), the amount of NUA in theXstock
is $30, the excess of the market value of
the stock at the time of distribution ($580)
overY’s adjusted basis in the stock ($550).
UnlessArolls the distributed stock over into
an eligible retirement plan in accordance
with the rules of§402(c),Awill have $550
of ordinary income as a result of the dis-
tribution.

SECTION 1. PURPOSE
Treasury and the Service have deter-
mined that it is consistent with the pur-
poses of, and policies underlying, employee
stock ownership plans (ESOPs) to enable
an ESOP to direct certain rollovers of dis-
tributions of S corporation stock to an in-
dividual retirement plan (IRA) in
accordance with a distributee’s election
without terminating the corporation’s S elec-
tion. Accordingly, if the requirements of this
revenue procedure are satisfied, the Ser-
vice will not treat a corporation’s S elec-
tion as terminated when an ESOP distributes
stock of that corporation to a participant’s
IRA in a direct rollover.
SECTION 2. BACKGROUND
In1996,Congressamended
§1361(b)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue
Code to make ESOPs (as defined in
§4975(e)(7)), along with other plans quali-
fied under§401(a), eligible S corpora-
tion shareholders. A fundamental purpose
of an ESOP, including an ESOP that holds
stock in an S corporation, is to provide par-
ticipants with equity ownership in the em-
ployer corporation through participation in
the ESOP, including through distributions
of employer securities to participants.See
S. Rep. 94–938 at 180, 1976–3 C.B. 218

porate finance designed to build benefi-
cial equity ownership of shares in the
employer corporation in its employees”).
Section 409(h) generally requires that an
ESOP provide for distributions in the form
of employer securities. An ESOP meets the
requirements of§409(h)(1)(A) if a par-
ticipant who is entitled to a distribution has
the right to demand that his benefits be dis-
tributed in the form of employer securi-
ties. Section 409(h)(2)(B) provides that an
ESOP maintained by an S corporation is
permitted to provide for distributions only
in cash or for distributions of employer se-
curities subject to a repurchase require-
ment which meets the requirements of
§409(h)(1)(B).
Under§401(a)(31) and A–1of
§1.401(a)(31)–1 of the Income Tax Regu-
lations, a qualified plan, including an ESOP,
is required to permit the distributee of any
eligible rollover distribution (as defined in
§402(c)(4)) to have the distribution paid in
a direct rollover (as defined in A–3of
§1.401(a)(31)–1) to an eligible retirement
plan (as defined in§402(c)(8)(B)) speci-
fied by the distributee. Therefore, an ESOP
that holds S corporation stock and per-
mits distributions in the form of employer
securities is required to permit partici-
pants to elect to have any distribution of S
corporation stock that is an eligible roll-
over distribution be paid in a direct roll-
over to an eligible retirement plan specified
by the distributee, including an IRA. An
IRA trustee or custodian, however, is not
a permissible S corporation shareholder.See
§§1361(b) and 1361(c)(6).
Under§409(h)(2)(B), an ESOP that pro-
vides for distributions in the form of se-
curities of an employer that is an S
corporation is permitted to provide that the
S corporation stock included in the distri-
bution is subject to a repurchase require-
ment. Thus, an ESOP is permitted to
provide that any stock in an S corpora-
tion that is distributed is subject to imme-
diate repurchase by the S corporation on a
direct rollover of the stock from the ESOP
to an IRA.
SECTION 3. SCOPE
This revenue procedure sets forth cer-
tain requirements related to an ESOP’s dis-
tribution of S corporation stock to a
participant where the participant elects to
have the S corporation stock distributed to
an IRA in a direct rollover. If these re-
quirements are satisfied, the Service will ac-
cept the position that the distribution does
not affect the S corporation’s election to be
taxed as an S corporation.
SECTION 4. APPLICATION
The Service will accept the position that
an S corporation’s election is not affected
as a result of an ESOP’s distribution of S
corporation stock where the participant di-
rects that such stock be distributed to an
IRA in a direct rollover, provided that:
.01 The terms of the ESOP require that
the S corporation repurchase its stock im-
mediately upon the ESOP’s distribution of
the stock to an IRA;
.02 The S corporation actually repur-
chases the S corporation stock contempo-
raneously with, and effective on the same
day as, the distribution; and
.03 No income (including tax-exempt in-
come), loss, deduction, or credit attribut-
able to the distributed S corporation stock
under§1366 is allocated to the partici-
pant’s IRA.

SECTION 1. PURPOSE
This revenue procedure provides that cer-
tain losses are not taken into account in de-
termining whether a transaction is a
reportable transaction for purposes of the
2003–11 I.R.B.599March 17, 2003

disclosure rules under§1.6011–4(b)(5) of
the Income Tax Regulations.
SECTION 2. BACKGROUND
.01 Section 1.6011–4 requires a tax-
payer who participates in a reportable trans-
action to disclose the transaction in
accordance with the procedures provided in
§1.6011–4. Under§1.6011–4(b), there are
six categories of reportable transactions. One
category of reportable transaction is a loss
transaction. A loss transaction is defined in
§1.6011–4(b)(5).
.02 Section 1.6011–4(b)(8)(i) provides
that a transaction will not be considered a
reportable transaction, or will be excluded
from any individual category of report-
able transaction, if the Commissioner makes
a determination by published guidance that
the transaction is not subject to the report-
ing requirements of§1.6011–4.
SECTION 3. SCOPE
This revenue procedure applies to tax-
payers that may be required to disclose re-
portable transactions under§1.6011–4
and/or material advisors that may be re-
quired to maintain lists under§301.6112–1.
SECTION 4. APPLICATION
.01In general.Losses from the sale or
exchange of an asset with a qualifying ba-
sis under section 4.02 or losses described
in section 4.03 of this revenue procedure
are not taken into account in determining
whether a transaction is a reportable trans-
action.
.02Sale or exchange of an asset with a
qualifying basis.
(1)General rule.A loss under§165 of
the Internal Revenue Code from the sale or
exchange of an asset is not taken into ac-
count in determining whether a transac-
tion is a loss transaction under§1.6011–
4(b)(5) if—
(a) the basis of the asset (for purposes
of determining the loss) is a qualifying ba-
sis;
(b) the asset is not an interest in a
passthrough entity (within the meaning of
§1260(c)(2));
(c) the loss from the sale or exchange
of the asset is not treated as ordinary un-
der§988;
(d) the asset has not been separated from
any portion of the income it generates; and
(e) the asset is not, and has never been,
part of a straddle within the meaning of
§1092(c), excluding a mixed straddle un-
der§1.1092(b)–4T.
(2)Qualifying basis. For purposes of
section 4 of this revenue procedure, a tax-
payer’s basis in an asset (less adjustments
for any allowable depreciation, amortiza-
tion, or casualty loss) is a qualifying ba-
sis if—
(a) the basis of the asset is equal to, and
is determined solely by reference to, the
amount (including any option premium)
paid in cash by the taxpayer for the asset
and for any improvements to the asset;
(b) the basis of the asset is determined
under§358 by reason of a transaction un-
der§355 or§368, and the taxpayer’s ba-
sis in the property exchanged in the
transaction was described in this section
4.02(2);
(c) the basis of the asset is determined
under§1014;
(d) the basis of the asset is determined
under§1015, and the donor’s basis in the
asset was described in this section 4.02(2);
or
(e) the basis of the asset is determined
under§1031(d), the taxpayer’s basis in the
property that was exchanged for the asset
in the§1031 transaction was described in
this section 4.02(2), and any debt instru-
ment issued or assumed by the taxpayer in
connection with the§1031 transaction is
treated as a payment in cash under sec-
tion 4.02(3) of this revenue procedure.
(3)Debt instruments. Except as pro-
vided below, an amount paid in cash will
not be disregarded for purposes of sec-
tion 4.02(2) of this revenue procedure
merely because the taxpayer issued a debt
instrument to obtain the cash. However, if
the taxpayer has issued a debt instrument
to the person (or a related party as de-
scribed in§267(b) or§707(b)) who sold
or transferred the asset to the taxpayer, as-
sumed a debt instrument (or took an as-
set subject to a debt instrument) issued by
the person (or a related party as described
in§267(b) or§707(b)) who sold or trans-
ferred the asset to the taxpayer, or issued
a debt instrument in exchange for improve-
ments to an asset, the taxpayer will be
treated as having paid cash for the asset or
the improvement only if the debt instru-
ment is secured by the asset and all amounts
due under the debt instrument have been
paid in cash no later than the time of the
sale or exchange of the asset (except in the
case of stock or securities traded on an es-
tablished securities market, the settlement
date) for which the loss is claimed.
.03Other losses. The following losses
under§165 are not taken into account in
determining whether a transaction is a loss
transaction under§1.6011–4(b)(5):
(1) A loss from fire, storm, ship-
wreck, or other casualty, or from theft, un-
der§165(c)(3);
(2) A loss from a compulsory or in-
voluntary conversion as described in
§§1231(a)(3)(A)(ii) and 1231(a)(4)(B);
(3) A loss arising from any mark-
to-market treatment of an item under
§§475, 1256, 1296(a), 1.446–4(e), 1.988–
5(a)(6), or 1.1275–6(d)(2), provided that the
taxpayer computes its loss by using a quali-
fying basis (as defined in section 4.02(2)
of this revenue procedure) or a basis re-
sulting from previously marking the item
to market, or computes its loss by mak-
ing appropriate adjustments for previously
determined mark-to-market gain or loss as
provided, for example, in§475(a) or
§1256(a)(2);
(4) A loss arising from a hedging
transaction described in§1221(b), if the
taxpayer properly identifies the transac-
tion as a hedging transaction, or from a
mixed straddle account under§1.1092(b)–
4T;
(5) A loss attributable to basis in-
creases under§860C(d)(1) during the pe-
riod of the taxpayer’s ownership;
(6) A loss attributable to the aban-
donment of depreciable tangible property
that was used by the taxpayer in a trade or
business and that has a qualifying basis un-
der section 4.02(2) of this revenue proce-
dure;
(7) A loss arising from the bulk sale
of inventory if the basis of the inventory is
determined under§263A; or
(8) A loss that is equal to, and is de-
termined solely by reference to, a pay-
ment of cash by the taxpayer (for example,
a cash payment by a guarantor that re-
sults in a loss or a cash payment that is
treated as a loss from the sale of a capital
asset under§1234A or§1234B).
SECTION 5. EFFECTIVE DATE
This revenue procedure is effective for
transactions entered into on or after Feb-
ruary 28, 2003. However, if a taxpayer ap-
plies§1.6011–4 retroactively, as provided

Part IV. Items of General Interest
Form 5310,Application for
Determination for
Terminating Plan,Revised
November 2002
Announcement 2003–13
Form 5310,Application for Determina-
tion for Terminating Plan, which is used to
request determination letters for terminat-
ing qualified employee benefit plans, has
been revised. Among the changes to Form
5310 is the inclusion of questions relat-
ing to the nondiscrimination requirements
of§401(a)(4) and the minimum cover-
age requirements of§410(b). Because of
this change, Schedule Q (Form 5300),Elec-
tive Determination Requests, is not re-
quired to be filed with the revised Form
5310. Form 5310 applicants may still
choose to file Schedule Q to broaden the
scope of the determination letter to ad-
dress certain other nondiscrimination re-
quirements. Form 6088,Distributable
Benefits From Employee Pension Benefit
Plans(Rev. 6/97), is required to be filed
with Form 5310 for most defined benefit
plans and in certain other cases.
The revised Form 5310 and instruc-
tions may be ordered from IRS distribu-
tion centers by calling 1–800–TAX FORM.
In addition, the form and instructions may
be downloaded fromhttp://www.irs.gov/
forms_pubs/forms.html. Form 5310 may be
filed as downloaded from the web site;i.e.,
the requirement to provide a duplicate front
page (or pink copy) has been eliminated.
Applicants may continue to file the prior
(June 1997) revision of Form 5310 through
September 30, 2003. Applicants who file the
prior revision of Form 5310 should in-
clude the June 1998 revision of Schedule
Q, if available, or the current (August 2001)
revision of Schedule Q. An application for
a determination letter for a terminating plan
must either show that the plan satisfies the
nondiscriminatory contributions or ben-
efits requirements of§401(a)(4) and the
minimum coverage requirements of§410(b)
or establish that the plan meets the prior fa-
vorable letter conditions in section 12.04 of
Rev. Proc. 2003–6, 2003–1 I.R.B. 191. The
prior revision of Form 5310, when used
with the current revision of Schedule Q, will
not direct the applicant to this require-
ment. Therefore, applicants who file the
prior revision of Form 5310 with the cur-
rent revision of Schedule Q are reminded
to include the appropriate additional dem-
onstrations or statements with respect to
§§401(a)(4) and 410(b).

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
effect:
Amplifieddescribes a situation where
no change is being made in a prior pub-
lished position, but the prior position is
being extended to apply to a variation of
the fact situation set forth therein. 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
withmodified, below).
Clarifiedis used in those instances
where the language in a prior ruling is
being made clear because the language
has caused, or may cause, some confu-
sion. It is not used where a position in a
prior ruling is being changed.
Distinguisheddescribes a situation
where a ruling mentions a previously
published ruling and points out an essen-
tial 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 pub-
lished position. (Compare withamplified
andclarified, 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
rulings that are obsoleted because of
changes in law or regulations. A ruling
may also be obsoleted because the sub-
stance has been included in regulations
subsequently adopted.
Revokeddescribes situations where the
position in the previously published rul-
ing is not correct and the correct position
is being stated in the new ruling.
Supersededdescribes 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
andsupersededdescribes a situation
where the substance of a previously pub-
lished 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 super-
seded.
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
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 rul-
ings in the series.
Suspendedis used in rare situations to
show that the previous 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.
