EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS Announcement 2024-22, page 1673. Revocation of IRC 501(c)(3) Organizations for failure to meet the code section requirements. Contributions made to the organizations by individual donors are no longer deduct- ible under IRC 170(b)(1)(A). Announcement 2024-23, page 1674. The Internal Revenue Service has revoked its determina- tion that Functional Health Inc qualifies as an organization described in sections 501(c )(3) and 170(c )(2) of the Inter- nal Revenue Code of 1986. The revocation is effective Jan- uary 31, 2018. If a suite for declaratory judgment has been timely filed, contributions from individuals and organizations described in section 170(c )(2) that are otherwise allow- able will continue to be deductible. Protection under section 7428(c ) would begin on January 1, 2018 and would end on the date the court first determines the organization is not described in section 170(c )(2) as more particularly set for in section 7428(c )(1). For individual contributions, the max- imum deduction protected is $1,000, with a husband and wife treated as one contributor. This benefit is not extended to any individual, in whole or in part, for the acts or omis- sions of the organization that were the basis for revocation. INCOME TAX Announcement 2024-24, page 1675.

REG-124850-08, page 1624. U.S. persons must report information about, and pay income taxes with respect to, certain transactions with for- eign trusts. U.S. persons also must report information to the IRS when they receive large gifts, bequests, devises, or inheritances (foreign gifts) from foreign persons. The pro- posed regulations describe the transactions and the foreign gifts that must be reported to the IRS, as well as identify the U.S. persons who must report them and pay any cor- responding income taxes. U.S. persons who fail to timely report this information to the IRS are subject to significant penalties, and the proposed regulations provide guidance regarding these penalties. Additionally, U.S. persons are treated as the owners of certain foreign trusts that have U.S. beneficiaries. The proposed regulations explain which foreign trusts have U.S. beneficiaries and identify the U.S. persons who are treated as the owners of these foreign trusts. REG-124850-08.

Introduction The Internal Revenue Bulletin is the authoritative instrument of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for announcing offi- cial rulings and procedures of the Internal Revenue Service and for publishing Treasury Decisions, Executive Orders, Tax Conventions, legislation, court decisions, and other items of general interest. It is published weekly. 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 published rulings apply retroactively unless other- wise indicated. Procedures relating solely to matters of inter- nal management are not published; however, statements of internal practices and procedures that affect the rights and duties of taxpayers are published. 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 rul- ings to taxpayers or technical advice to Service field offices, identifying details 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 relied on, used, or cited as precedents by Service personnel in the disposition of other cases. In applying published rulings and procedures, the effect of subsequent legislation, regulations, court decisions, rulings, and procedures must be considered, 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 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, 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 Administrative Rulings are issued by the Department of the Treasury’s Office of the Assistant Secretary (Enforcement). Part IV.—Items of General Interest. This part includes notices of proposed rulemakings, disbar- ment and suspension lists, and announcements. The last 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 last Bulletin of each semiannual period. 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. June 10, 2024 Bulletin No. 2024–24 Part I Section 6621.— Determination of Rate of Interes 26 CFR 301.6621-1: Interest rate. Rev. Rul. 2024-11 Section 6621 of the Internal Reve- nue Code establishes the interest rates on overpayments and underpayments of tax. Under section 6621(a)(1), the over- payment rate is the sum of the federal short-term rate plus 3 percentage points (2 percentage points in the case of a corpo- ration), except the rate for the portion of a corporate overpayment of tax exceeding $10,000 for a taxable period is the sum of the federal short-term rate plus 0.5 of a percentage point. Under section 6621(a) (2), the underpayment rate is the sum of the federal short-term rate plus 3 percent- age points. Section 6621(c) provides that for pur- poses of interest payable under section 6601 on any large corporate underpay- ment, the underpayment rate under section 6621(a)(2) is determined by substituting “5 percentage points” for “3 percentage points.” See section 6621(c) and section 301.6621-3 of the Regulations on Proce- dure and Administration for the definition of a large corporate underpayment and for the rules for determining the appli- cable date. Section 6621(c) and section 301.6621-3 are generally effective for periods after December 31, 1990. Section 6621(b)(1) provides that the Secretary will determine the federal short- term rate for the first month in each cal- endar quarter. Section 6621(b)(2)(A) provides that the federal short-term rate determined under section 6621(b)(1) for any month applies during the first calen- dar quarter beginning after that month. Section 6621(b)(3) provides that the fed- eral short-term rate for any month is the federal short-term rate determined during that month by the Secretary in accordance with section 1274(d), rounded to the near- est full percent (or, if a multiple of 1/2 of 1 percent, the rate is increased to the next highest full percent). Notice 88-59, 1988-1 C.B. 546, announced that in determining the quar- terly interest rates to be used for overpay- ments and underpayments of tax under section 6621, the Internal Revenue Ser- vice will use the federal short-term rate based on daily compounding because that rate is most consistent with section 6621 which, pursuant to section 6622, is subject to daily compounding. The federal short-term rate deter- mined in accordance with section 1274(d) during April 2024 is the rate published in Revenue Ruling 2024-9, 2024-19 IRB 964, to take effect begin- ning May 1, 2024. The federal short-term rate, rounded to the nearest full percent, based on daily compounding determined during the month of April 2024 is 5 per- cent. Accordingly, an overpayment rate of 8 percent (7 percent in the case of a corporation) and an underpayment rate of 8 percent are established for the calen- dar quarter beginning July 1, 2024. The overpayment rate for the portion of a cor- porate overpayment exceeding $10,000 for the calendar quarter beginning July 1, 2024, is 5.5 percent. The underpayment rate for large corporate underpayments for the calendar quarter beginning July 1, 2024, is 10 percent. These rates apply to amounts bearing interest during that cal- endar quarter. Sections 6654(a)(1) and 6655(a) (1) provide that the underpayment rate established under section 6621 applies in determining the addition to tax under sections 6654 and 6655 for failure to pay estimated tax for any taxable year. Thus, the 8 percent rate also applies to estimated tax underpayments for the third calendar quarter beginning July 1, 2024. In addi- tion, pursuant to section 6603(d)(4), the rate of interest on section 6603 deposits is 5 percent for the third calendar quarter in 2024. Interest factors for daily compound interest for annual rates of 5.5 percent, 7 percent, 8 percent and 10 percent are pub- lished in Tables 64, 67, 69 and 73 of Rev. Proc. 95-17, 1995-1 C.B. 618, 621, 623, and 627. Annual interest rates to be compounded daily pursuant to section 6622 that apply for prior periods are set forth in the tables accompanying this revenue ruling.

Except as specifically pro- vided in this notice, Round 2 will be con- ducted in the same manner and under the same procedures as provided under Notice 2023-18 and Notice 2023-44. 3 .02 For purposes of Round 2, Appen- dices A, B, and C of this notice supersede Appendices A, B, and C of Notice 2023- 44. .03 As stated in section 1.03 of Notice 2023-18, the Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) anticipate provid- ing at least two allocation rounds under the § 48C(e) program. During Round 1, the Treasury Department and IRS allo- cated approximately $4 billion of § 48C credits, with approximately $1.5 billion in § 48C credits allocated to projects located in § 48C(e) Energy Communities Cen- sus Tracts (as defined in section 5.06 of Notice 2023-18). For Round 2, the Trea- sury Department and the IRS anticipate allocating approximately $6 billion of § 48C credits, with approximately $2.5 billion in § 48C credits to be allocated to projects located in § 48C(e) Energy Communities Census Tracts. Although the Treasury Department and the IRS intend to allocate a total of $10 billion of § 48C credits over the duration of the § 48C(e) program, with not less than $4 billion of § 48C credits allocated to projects located in § 48C(e) Energy Communities Cen- sus Tracts, depending upon applications received, the Treasury Department and the IRS may not allocate in Round 2 all of the approximately $2.5 billion of § 48C credits that must be allocated to § 48C(e) Energy Communities Census Tracts. The Treasury Department and the IRS will evaluate if any § 48C credits remain unal- located at the close of Round 2 and deter- mine if another allocation round is needed. .04 To be considered for an allocation of § 48C credits in Round 2, taxpayers must first submit concept papers to the IRS through the Qualified Advanced Energy Project Credit Program Applicant Portal (48C Portal), accessible at https:// eco.energy.gov/48C/, maintained by the Department of Energy (DOE). Following submission of a concept paper, DOE will provide a letter encouraging or discourag- ing the taxpayer’s submission of a joint application for DOE recommendation and for IRS § 48C(e) certification (§ 48C(e) application). DOE begins the acceptance period for a taxpayer’s § 48C(e) applica- tion on the date of the letter of encourage- ment or discouragement. To be considered for the § 48C(e) program, a taxpayer’s § 48C(e) application must be submitted no later than 50 calendar days after DOE begins the acceptance period for the tax- payer’s § 48C(e) application. The IRS will make all Round 2 allocation decisions no later than January 15, 2025. SECTION 2. BACKGROUND .01 For purposes of the § 38 general business credit, § 46 provides that the amount of the investment credit for any taxable year is the sum of the credits listed in § 46. That list includes the § 48C credit, which was originally enacted by § 1302(b) of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Public Law 111-5, Division B, Title I, Subtitle D, 123 Stat. 115, 345 (February 17, 2009), to provide an allocated credit for quali- fied investments in qualifying advanced energy projects. .02 In addition to certain amendments made by the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014, Public Law 113-295, 128 Stat. 4010 (December 19, 2014), § 48C was amended most recently by § 13501 of Pub- lic Law 117-169, 136 Stat. 1818 (August 16, 2022), commonly known as the Infla- tion Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA). Sec- tion 13501(a) of the IRA added § 48C(e) to the Code to extend the § 48C credit and to provide an additional credit allocation of $10 billion. Section 13501(b) of the IRA modified the definition of a “quali- fying advanced energy project” contained in § 48C(c)(1)(A). Section 13501(c) and (d) of the IRA made conforming amend- ments to § 48C(c)(2)(A) and (f). The amendments made by § 13501 of the IRA became effective on January 1, 2023. See § 13501(e) of the IRA. .03 Notice 2023-18 established the § 48C(e) program and provided initial pro- gram guidance. Section 3 of Notice 2023- 18 provided certain definitions for pur- poses of the § 48C(e) program, section 4 of Notice 2023-18 described how the prevail- ing wage and apprenticeship requirements under § 48C(e)(5) and (6) impact the rate of § 48C credits allocated under the § 48C(e) program, section 5 of Notice 2023-18 pro- vided a general description of the § 48C(e) program, and section 6 of Notice 2023-18 provided initial information regarding the procedures for concept papers and § 48C(e) applications. 1 Unless otherwise specified, all “section” or “§” references are to sections of the Code. 2 The term “§ 48C(e) Energy Communities Census Tracts” is defined in section 5.06 of Notice 2023-18 and such tracts are listed in Appendix C of this notice. 3 Prior Notices and other relevant information about the § 48C(e) program can be found at https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/businesses/advanced-energy-project-credit. June 10, 2024 1480 Bulletin No. 2024–24 .04 Section 5 of Notice 2023-18 states that the IRS will consider a project under the § 48C(e) program only if DOE pro- vides a recommendation and ranking to the IRS. As stated in section 5 of Notice 2023-18, DOE will provide a recom- mendation only if it determines that the project has a reasonable expectation of commercial viability and merits a recom- mendation based on the criteria provided in additional § 48C(e) program guidance later provided in Notice 2023-44. .05 Section 4 of Notice 2023-44 states that eligible property that is part of a § 48C eligible project placed in service prior to being awarded an allocation of § 48C credits under the § 48(C)(e) program is not eligible to receive such an allocation. SECTION 3. ROUND 2 OF SECTION 48C(e) PROGRAM .01 In General. For each project for which a taxpayer seeks an allocation of § 48C credits in Round 2, the taxpayer must use the 48C Portal to submit to the IRS (1) a concept paper for DOE consid- eration and (2) a joint application for DOE recommendation and for IRS § 48C(e) certification (§ 48C(e) application). If a § 48C(e) application does not (1) propose a qualifying advanced energy project (as described in Appendix A) or (2) include all of the information required in Appen- dix B, DOE may decline to consider the § 48C(e) application or request that the applicant resubmit its § 48C(e) applica- tion with the missing information. If DOE does not provide a recommendation to the IRS on the § 48C(e) application, the IRS will not consider the § 48C(e) application. Failure to receive an allocation in Round 1 does not preclude an applicant from applying in Round 2. .02 Taxpayer submissions. Taxpay- ers must submit their concept papers and § 48C(e) applications through the 48C Portal. See Appendix B for additional information regarding the application pro- cess. .03 Program Timeline. Generally, Round 2 will proceed as follows: (1) A taxpayer submits a concept paper through the 48C Portal. The 48C Portal will open to accept concept paper submis- sions no later than Tuesday, May 28, 2024. Taxpayers must submit concept papers prior to 5:00 PM Eastern Time, within 30 calendar days after the 48C Portal opens. (2) DOE reviews the concept paper and sends the taxpayer a letter encouraging or discouraging the submission of a § 48C(e) application. After receiving a letter of encouragement or discouragement from DOE, the taxpayer determines whether to submit a § 48C(e) application. Any taxpayer who submits a concept paper through the 48C Portal is eligible to sub- mit a § 48C(e) application, regardless of DOE’s response to the taxpayer’s concept paper. (3) Taxpayers submit § 48C(e) applica- tions through the 48C Portal. See Appen- dix B for additional information. (4) DOE reviews each § 48C(e) appli- cation for compliance with eligibility and other threshold requirements. (5) If the § 48C(e) application complies with all eligibility and threshold require- ments, DOE conducts a technical review of the application based on the technical review criteria described in Appendix B. (6) DOE provides a recommendation to the IRS regarding the acceptance or rejection of each § 48C(e) application and a ranking of all § 48C(e) applications. (7) The IRS makes a decision regard- ing the acceptance or rejection of each § 48C(e) application based on DOE’s recommendation and ranking. The IRS notifies each taxpayer who submitted a § 48C(e) application of the outcome by sending a letter allocating § 48C credits in the case of an acceptance (Allocation Let- ter) or a letter denying the requested allo- cation in the case of a rejection (Denial Letter). The IRS will make all Round 2 allocation decisions no later than January 15, 2025. In the case of an acceptance, the amount of § 48C credits allocated to a project will be based on the taxpayer’s qualified investment in the qualifying advanced energy project and whether the taxpayer intends to apply for and receive an allocation of § 48C credits calculated at the 30 percent credit rate (see section 5.07 of Notice 2023-18). In the case of a denial, a taxpayer may request a debrief- ing with DOE regarding DOE’s review of the taxpayer’s § 48C(e) application. The Denial Letter will include instructions for requesting a DOE debriefing. (8) To be eligible to receive a § 48C credit allocated under the § 48C(e) pro- gram with respect to a taxpayer’s quali- fied investment in a qualifying advanced energy project (§ 48C Facility), the ear- liest that the taxpayer may place in ser- vice the § 48C Facility is after receiving the Allocation Letter with respect to that § 48C Facility. See section 4 of Notice 2023-44. (9) Within 2 years of receiving an Allocation Letter, a taxpayer must notify DOE that the certification requirements have been met by submitting the required information through the 48C Portal. See Appendix B for additional information. (10) DOE reviews information pro- vided by the taxpayer evidencing that the requirements for certification have been met. (11) DOE notifies the taxpayer and the IRS if the taxpayer satisfies the certifica- tion requirements. (12) The IRS certifies a taxpayer’s § 48C Facility by sending a letter (Certifi- cation Letter). (13) Within 2 years of receiving the Certification Letter, the taxpayer notifies DOE that the § 48C Facility has been placed in service by submitting such information through the 48C Portal. See Appendix B for additional information. If the taxpayer has not placed the § 48C Facility in service within the required 2-year period or has not notified DOE that the § 48C Facility has been placed in service within the required 2-year period, then the § 48C credit allocated to the tax- payer’s § 48C Facility is forfeited. (14) DOE notifies the taxpayer and the IRS that it has received the taxpay- er’s notification that the § 48C Facility has been placed in service or notification that the taxpayer will not place the § 48C Facility in service within the required 2-year period. See section 5.09 of Notice 2023-18. (15) If the taxpayer has placed the § 48C Facility in service within the required 2-year period and has notified DOE, then the taxpayer claims the § 48C credit on its Federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the § 48C Facil- ity was placed in service. (16) If the taxpayer chooses to with- draw a submission at any phase of the § 48C(e) program (whether at the con- cept paper phase, the § 48C(e) application phase, the post-Allocation Letter phase, Bulletin No. 2024–24 1481 June 10, 2024 or the post-Certification Letter phase), the taxpayer must provide a formal with- drawal notification through the 48C Por- tal. SECTION 4. SECTION 48C ADDITIONAL RULES .01 Section 48C Energy Communi- ties. A § 48C Facility is determined to be located in a § 48C(e) Energy Commu- nity Census Tract at the time that DOE provides recommendations to the IRS. A § 48C Facility is treated as located within a § 48C(e) Energy Community Census Tract if the § 48C Facility satisfies the Footprint Test as provided in section 6.03 of Notice 2023-44. A taxpayer can deter- mine whether its project is located within a § 48C(e) Energy Communities Census Tract by referring to the list of Section 48C(e) Energy Communities Census Tracts provided by Appendix C. Addition- ally, a map of § 48C(e) Energy Commu- nities Census Tracts has been provided by the DOE and is available at www.energy. gov/infrastructure/48C. .02 Selection Criteria for all projects seeking an allocation from the § 48C(e) program. Section 48C(d)(3) lists the selection criteria used to determine which qualifying advanced energy projects merit a DOE recommendation. Section 7 of Notice 2023-44 provides additional detail regarding these criteria, including how the criteria are used to evaluate concept papers and § 48C(e) applications. SECTION 5.

Examples of these fuels, chem- icals, and products include low-emissions ammonia, renewable biofuels, including sustainable aviation fuel, fuels designed to replace petroleum fuel in on-road and off- road applications. Equipment for the pro- duction of low-emissions chemicals, basic organic chemicals, polymers, and resins are also included, as long as their intended use is demonstrated through engineering specifications or offtake agreements. (vi) Examples of ineligible property include those designed to produce fuels and chemicals derived solely from fos- sil resources produced through conven- tional petroleum and natural gas refining. Additionally, facilities that manufacture or produce fuels, chemicals, or other industrial feedstocks, such as renewable biofuels, hydrogen, and low-emission ammonia, are also ineligible. These facil- ities are considered deployment facilities. For exceptions pertaining to deployment facilities that produce low carbon chem- icals and are eligible in Round 2 refer to Section 1.1(i), Other advanced energy property designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as may be determined by the Secretary. Furthermore, it is important to note that a qualifying advanced energy project must exclude any portion of a project that involves the manufacturing or recycling of equipment used in the refin- ing or blending of any fuel other than fuels described in this category. f. Property designed to produce energy conservation technologies (including residential, commercial, and industrial applications). (i) Examples of eligible energy con- servation property include technologies and grid-interactive devices eligible for residential or commercial efficiency improvements for purposes of the § 25C credit or the § 179D tax deduction, as well as equipment that directly reduces net energy use in industrial applications, such as ultra-efficient heat pumps, insulation, ultra-efficient hot water systems, sensors, controls, and similar advanced efficiency technologies. (ii) Examples of ineligible energy conservation property include those that reduce electricity usage by increasing the facility’s natural gas or other fossil fuel usage and/or lead to increased sys- tem-level emissions. g. Light-, medium-, or heavy-duty electric or fuel cell vehicles, as well as technologies, components, or materials for such vehicles, and associated charging or refueling infrastructure.

Examples of ineligi- ble charging infrastructure property also include electrical components upstream of the charging station’s service connection to the grid and components of charging or refueling stations, such as signage, that are not directly involved in the transfer of fuel or power to the vehicle. Bulletin No. 2024–24 1485 June 10, 2024 h. Hybrid vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of not less than 14,000 pounds, as well as technologies, components, or materials for such vehicles. (i) Examples of eligible property include traction batteries, converters, power electronics, and assembled hybrid vehicles of not less than 14,000 pounds themselves, but components and materials must be designed for large hybrid vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of not less than 14,000 pounds, as demonstrated through engineering specifications and/or offtake agreements. i. Other advanced energy property designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as may be determined by the Secretary. (i) Examples of eligible advanced energy property include specialized com- ponents and equipment for nuclear power reactors or their fuels (e.g., including components and equipment for fabrication of fuels, and manufacturing of equipment for conversion, enrichment, and deconver- sion), and equipment used to reduce the emissions of industrial facilities, such as heat and process emissions. Property may be determined to be designed to reduce GHG emissions either through published guidance or in the letter notifying an applicant that the IRS has accepted the applicant’s application for § 48C(e) certi- fication with respect to the property. (ii) Examples of eligible advanced energy properties in this category include energy-intensive materials that have a substantially lower carbon intensity when compared to an appropriate industry-spe- cific benchmark. These materials must not be derived from primary feedstocks such as palm fatty acid distillates or fossil fuels including coal, natural gas, and petro- leum. Eligible projects include but are not limited to projects that expand, re-equip, or establish facilities for manufacturing or recycling of low carbon cement, concrete or components such as supplementary cementitious materials, low carbon iron and steel, low carbon aluminum, low car- bon chemicals, low carbon pulp or paper, and low carbon glass. The proposed proj- ects should reduce carbon intensity on a life cycle basis by at least 30% compared to an appropriate industry-specific bench- mark. Existing facilities are only eligible if they re-equip or expand their produc- tion lines to produce these materials or increase capacity respectively; otherwise, they do not qualify under this category. (iii) Advanced energy property that is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by enabling the production of other greenhouse gas emission-reducing advanced energy property may be eligi- ble under this category. For such “other advanced energy property,” which is not designed to directly reduce GHG emis- sions, the applicant must demonstrate that the advanced energy property is highly specialized equipment necessary to strengthen U.S. resilience of critical domestic energy supply chains and the reduction of GHG emissions is a neces- sary ultimate outcome from the produc- tion of the advanced energy property. This can be demonstrated through the appli- cant’s proposed business plan, including offtake agreements and any additional market analysis or other technical spe- cialization, to show the advanced energy property that is produced or recycled by the applicant’s industrial or manufacturing facility will primarily contribute toward reduction of GHG emissions. An example of such “other advanced energy property” that may be eligible is diamond wire saws necessary in the solar technology supply chain, so long as the applicant demon- strates the project’s output will be used primarily for the purpose of manufactur- ing property designed to produce energy from the sun. (iv) Examples of ineligible properties include projects that re-equip, expand, or establish facilities that would be used for enrichment, conversion, or deconversion of uranium. Similarly, projects that pro- duce uranium or procure equipment that would be used in the enrichment, conver- sion, or deconversion of uranium are not eligible under this category. 1.2 Industrial Decarbonization Projects An advanced energy project qualifies under this category if it involves retrofit- ting an industrial or manufacturing facil- ity, particularly in energy-intensive sectors such as cement, iron and steel, aluminum, and chemicals. The retrofit must include the installation of equipment specifically designed to reduce greenhouse gas emis- sions by at least 20 percent. It’s important to note that this category is exclusively focused on projects that upgrade the exist- ing facilities to lower greenhouse gas emissions through the installation of one or more specified technologies below. Note: Investments aimed at expanding a facility such as those intended to increase manufacturing capacity are not considered eligible costs to be included as part of qualified investment under this category. Therefore, any such ineligible costs must be excluded from the qualified investment requested for projects within this category. However, these type projects may qualify under the section 1.1 Clean Energy Manu- facturing and Recycling project category. In Round 1, this project category was referred to as “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Projects” (as described and defined in Appendix A of Notice 2023- 44). The updated project category name “Industrial Decarbonization Projects” in Round 2 is a change in terminology only; eligibility under this project category remains unchanged between Round 1 and Round 2, although additional clarifica- tions are provided below. a. Low- or zero-carbon process heat systems. Examples of eligible equipment include electric heat pumps, combined heat and power (CHP) systems, thermal storage technologies, and other heating systems based on electricity, clean hydro- gen, biomass, or waste heat recovery. b. Carbon capture, transport, utilization, and storage systems. (i) Examples of eligible equipment include carbon capture equipment neces- sary to compress, treat, process, liquefy, pump, or perform some other physical action to capture carbon oxides, and spe- cialized equipment and materials needed for the transport and storage of carbon oxides, including carbon dioxide pipe- lines, monitoring equipment, and injec- tion equipment and well components such as packers, casing strings, CO 2 -resistant cement, steel tubulars, well heads, valves, June 10, 2024 1486 Bulletin No. 2024–24 and sensors suitable for use in Under- ground Injection Control Class VI wells. Additional examples include equipment to convert carbon oxides through miner- alization, thermochemical, electrochem- ical, photochemical, plasma-assisted, or other catalytic process approaches to carbon-based products such as synthetic fuels, chemicals, solid carbon products, and inorganic materials. (ii) Examples of ineligible property include scrubbers for conventional air pollutants, except those that are required to remove pollutants upstream of carbon capture equipment to enhance the perfor- mance of the capture equipment; energy generation equipment, except as related to energy recovery at carbon capture sys- tems; and refining equipment. c. Energy efficiency and reduction in waste from industrial processes. Examples of eligible equipment include technologies that reduce direct fuel use, electricity use, or waste in indus- trial applications, such as industrial heat pumps, CHP systems, insulation, sensors, controls, advanced recycling approaches, smart energy management, and similar advanced efficiency technologies. d. Any other industrial technology designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as determined by the Secretary. (i) Examples of other eligible indus- trial technologies include electrification of direct fuel use processes, adoption of renewable or low-emissions fuels and feedstocks, and other equipment replace- ment or process redesigns that reduce process- or fuel-related emissions or oth- erwise contribute to reducing GHG emis- sions by at least 20 percent. (ii) Projects in this category may qual- ify by installing equipment designed to achieve a minimum of a 20 percent reduc- tion in GHG emissions in one or more of the following ways: (A) Achieve a direct (Scope 1) GHG emissions reduction of 20 percent facili- ty-wide; (B) Achieve an indirect fuel- or ener- gy-related (Scope 2) GHG emissions reduction of 20 percent facility-wide; or (C) Achieve a direct or indirect fuel- or energy-related GHG emissions reduction of 20 percent at a facility subunit, such as a particular process step or fuel combus- tion unit. (iii) While facilities may be eligible under this project category by achieving a 20 percent reduction threshold within a particular element of their process or emissions profile, overall combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions impacts for the full qualifying facility will be taken into account when evaluating each project for the purposes of application scoring. Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions are further defined in section 2.2 of Appendix B, Glossary of Terms. Instructions for calculating and demonstrating an emissions reduction of 20 percent is provided in section 2.6.1 of Appendix B, Data Sheet. 1.3 Critical Material Projects A qualifying advanced energy project in this category re-equips, expands, or establishes an industrial facility for the processing, refining, or recycling of crit- ical materials (as defined in § 7002(a) of the Energy Act of 2020 (30 U.S.C. § 1606(a)). For purposes of this Round 2, critical materials consist of: a. The currently effective final list of critical minerals as determined by the U.S. Geological Survey (see 2022 Final List of Critical Minerals for the list pub- lished in 2022 available at: https://www. energy.gov/cmm/what-are-critical-materi- als-and-critical-minerals); and b. Any additional critical materials as determined by the Secretary of Energy and for which a final determination is posted on the DOE’s critical materials page on or before July 31, 2023, available at: http://www.energy.gov/criticalmateri- als. A proposed determination was posted at this web address prior to the publication of this notice. Note: DOE reserves the right to extend the deadline for concept paper submissions based on any changes included in the final determination. Examples of eligible projects in this project category include the processing of raw ore, brines, mine tailings, end-of-life products, waste streams, and other source materials into critical materials. Note: These examples have been updated with additional clarifying language since the publication of Notice 2023-18. Examples of ineligible projects under this project category include the subse- quent physical or chemical transforma- tion of critical materials into derivative products, including metals manufac- turing such as aluminum extrusion and chemical manufacturing such as anode and cathode materials production. How- ever, projects involving such derivative products may be eligible under the Clean Energy Manufacturing and Recycling Projects category. Note: These examples have been updated with additional clar- ifying language since the publication of Notice 2023-18.

Disadvantaged Community A disadvantaged community is overburdened or underserved and may be either (1) a group of individuals living in geographic proximity (e.g., such as a census tract identified using the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool), or (2) a geographically dispersed set of individuals, where either type of group experiences common conditions. Scope 1 Emissions Direct greenhouse gas emissions that occur from sources at the facility associated with the proposed project (e.g., emissions from fuel combustion or chemical processes). Scope 2 Emissions Indirect greenhouse gas emissions that are associated with the use of energy or fuel at the facility, but do not occur at the facility (e.g., emissions from a power plant that generates electricity for the facility). Scope 3 Emissions Indirect greenhouse gas emissions that are associated with the facility’s activities and products but are not covered in Scope 1 or 2, including emissions from the products them- selves in their ultimate use, transportation, or other aspects of the value chain upstream or downstream from the facility. Specified Advanced Energy Prop- erty A specific category of property listed in 48C(c)(1)(A) and described in further detail in section 1.1 of Appendix A, Clean Energy Manufacturing and Recycling Projects. Clean Energy Manufacturing and Recycling Projects under § 48C(e) must either produce or recy- cle one or more specified advanced energy properties. For example, solar glass would be considered a specified advanced energy property covered under section 1.1(a) of Appendix A. Facility Product The equipment, materials, or other products produced in the facility associated with the proposed project and typically sold or leased after production. Facilities may have more than one facility product. Under the Clean Energy Manufacturing and Recycling Project category, the specified advanced energy property of a clean energy manufacturing project is likely to be the facility’s primary product/output. In contrast, the specified advanced energy property of a clean energy recycling project is an input to the proposed facility, while the facility product/output is typically one or more materials extracted in the recy- cling process. In a Critical Materials Recycling Project the qualified critical material is the input to the proposed facility while facility product/output is the project’s specified advanced energy property. Facility products from Industrial Decarbonization Projects do not need to be specified advanced energy property. Registered Apprenticeship Pro- gram A Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) is an apprenticeship that has been validated by the Department of Labor or State Apprenticeship Agency. Collective Bargaining Agreement A legally enforceable, written contract between a union representing a group of employees and an employer in a workplace. Project Labor Agreement A Project Labor Agreement (PLA) is a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement negoti- ated between one or more construction unions and one or more construction employers (contractors/project owners) that establish the terms and conditions of employment for a specific construction project. Community Benefits Agreement Community Benefits Agreements are contracts between employers/developers/contractors/ project owners and community organizations (including but not limited to unions). These agreements, which can be in the manufacturing sector, the construction sector, or other industries, may include provisions related to affordable housing, pollution reduction, or other community priorities. Community Benefits Agreements are unique to each com- munity and their terms will reflect the varied interest of their signatories. Some Commu- nity Benefits Agreements are Collective Bargaining Agreements between the contractor/ employer and one or more unions setting terms and conditions of employment—others are not. If a Community Benefits Agreement is not a Collective Bargaining Agreement, it cannot set out terms related to wages, rates of pay, hours of employment, or conditions of work. Bulletin No. 2024–24 1489 June 10, 2024 2.3 DOE Review Process 2.3.1 Program Process A two-stage technical evaluation pro- cess will be used for submissions: • Stage 1: Concept Paper. • Stage 2: § 48C(e) Application. In Stage 1, concept paper submission application materials will be available for applicants to download from the 48C portal and concept paper submissions will be accepted in the 48C portal beginning no later than May 28, 2024. DOE will only consider concept papers that are submitted by 5:00 PM Eastern Time, 30 days after the 48C portal opens. Section 48C(e) applications for Round 2 allocations will not be considered by DOE unless a Round 2 concept paper submis- sion is received from an applicant by the specified deadline. Potential applicants will not be able to begin concept papers or submit concept papers for Round 2 after the deadline. In Stage 2, following DOE’s review of concept papers and transmission of letters encouraging or discouraging the applicant to continue in the process, the 48C portal will reopen to receive § 48C(e) application submissions for subsequent evaluation by DOE. The date on which DOE will begin accepting § 48C(e) applications and the deadline by which they must be submitted will be conveyed to applicants through the 48C portal at a later date. In each stage, DOE will review the submitted materials for compliance and eligibility, and perform a thorough, con- sistent, and objective examination based on technical review criteria and other fac- tors, as described below. After Stage 2 evaluations of § 48C(e) applications are complete, DOE will transmit allocation recommendations to the IRS for final consideration. The IRS will notify applicants of final allocation decisions for Round 2 no later than Jan- uary 15, 2025. In conducting its review, DOE may utilize assistance and advice from quali- fied personnel from other federal agencies and/or contractors. DOE will obtain con- flict of interest/non-disclosure acknowl- edgements from and administer required trainings in advance for all reviewers to assure that application information will be kept confidential and shall be used only for reviewing purposes, in accordance with applicable requirements. Reviewers will be required to report all personal and organizational conflicts of interest. DOE reserves the right to request clari- fications and/or supplemental information from some or all applicants submitting applications through written submissions. DOE may determine whether to rec- ommend or not recommend an application to the IRS at any time after the § 48C(e) application has been received, without further exchanges or discussions with the applicant. 2.3.2 Program Key Dates Table 2: Program Key Dates Guidance Issue Date04/30/2024 DOE 48C Portal Opens for registration and con- cept paper submission May 2024, and no later than 05/28/2024 Informational WebinarNo later than 05/31/2024 Submission Deadline for Concept Papers30 calendar days after the 48C Portal Opens for registration and concept paper submissions at 11:59 PM Eastern 48C Portal Opens for full application submissionSummer 2024 Submission Deadline for § 48C(e) ApplicationsSummer / Fall 2024; 50 calendar days after the 48C Portal Opens to accept full application submissions at 11:59 PM Eastern IRS Allocation Decision NotificationsNo later than 01/15/2025 2.3.3 Program Priorities There are three qualifying advanced energy project categories (defined in Appendix A): Clean Energy Manufac- turing and Recycling Projects, Industrial Decarbonization Projects, and Critical Material Projects. Note that in Round 1, the Industrial Decarbonization Project category was referred to as “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Projects”; the updated project category name in Round 2 is a change in terminology only, and it is designed to avoid confusion with the sec- ond technical review criterion (detailed below). It is the applicant’s responsibility to determine the most applicable qualify- ing advanced energy project category, according to the guidance in Section 2.8.2, Determining an Application’s Project Category. For all three project categories, eligible applications will be evaluated by DOE against the four tech- nical review criteria reflecting overall program objectives: • Criterion 1: Commercial Viability • Criterion 2: Greenhouse Gas Emis- sions Impacts June 10, 2024 1490 Bulletin No. 2024–24 • Criterion 3: Strengthening U.S. Sup- ply Chains and Domestic Manufac- turing for a Net-Zero Economy • Criterion 4: Workforce and Commu- nity Engagement A taxpayer with a qualified investment in any of the projects described as eligible in Appendix A of this guidance may apply for a § 48C(e) allocation. In determining whether to recommend a project for an allocation, DOE will consider whether the proposed project is located in § 48C(e) Energy Communities Census Tracts, as defined in section 5.06 of Notice 2023-18. In Round 2, DOE anticipates recommend- ing approximately $2.5 billion in § 48C credits to projects located in these com- munities. DOE has identified the following prior- ity areas for Round 2. Guidance for future rounds under § 48C(e) may include differ- ent priority areas. When evaluating Clean Energy Man- ufacturing and Recycling Projects, DOE will take into consideration whether the project addresses the following energy supply chain and manufacturing priority areas. These priority areas have been iden- tified based on analytical criteria includ- ing an assessment of current and antici- pated supply chain gaps in areas eligible under § 48C(e): Round 2 Priority Areas (in alphabeti- cal order): • Clean Hydrogen: Manufacturing of electrolyzers, fuel cells, and associ- ated components (including gas dif- fusion layers, bipolar plates, power electronics, membrane electrode assemblies and stacks, and cata- lysts). • Electric Grid: Manufacturing of dis- tribution and large power transform- ers and associated subcomponents, materials (including grain-oriented electrical steel, amorphous steel), power electronics, HVDC cables, HV circuit breakers, and other grid components and equipment (includ- ing MVDC/HVDC converter station components and switchgears). • Electric Heat Pumps: Manufacturing of air-source or geothermal (ground- source) heat pump components and systems, particularly heat pumps for industrial or networked applications and/or those utilizing low-GWP refrig- erants (such as natural refrigerants). • Electric Vehicles**: Manufacturing of power electronics (including semi- conductors, modules, and circuits for EV motor traction drives, on-board EV chargers, DC/DC converters, and EV charging stations), permanent magnets, and specific battery compo- nents (separators, electrolyte salts and solvents, cathode and anode active materials and precursors). Manufac- turing of capital equipment for bat- tery manufacturing. Manufacturing of sub-components and components specific to medium- and/or heavy- duty (MDV/HDV) electric vehicles and final assembly of MDV/HDV electric vehicles. • Energy-intensive materials that have a substantially lower carbon inten- sity when compared to an appropriate industry-specific benchmark: Manu- facturing or recycling of low carbon cement, concrete or components such as supplementary cementitious mate- rials, low carbon iron and steel, and low carbon aluminum • Nuclear Energy: Manufacturing of specialized components and equip- ment for nuclear power reactors or their fuels (including fabrication of fuels, and manufacturing of equip- ment for conversion, enrichment, and deconversion), for both existing reac- tors and new reactor deployments. • Solar Energy**: Polysilicon, wafer production facilities, ingot and wafer production tools, and solar rolled glass production facilities. • Sustainable Aviation Fuels: Manu- facturing of equipment needed for low-carbon aviation fuel production (including feedstock handling equip- ment and pre-treatment reactors). • Wind Energy**: Component produc- tion facilities and specialized steel production, particularly for offshore wind, such as monopile-grade steel and towers; recycling of wind com- ponents, particularly blades; offshore wind electrical balance of system component manufacturing, including submarine cables (AC and DC), large power transformers, and HVDC con- verter stations and converter station components. Federal Register : Section 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit ** The production of some products under this section may be eligible for tax credits under § 45X and receiving an allo- cation under § 48C(e) may preclude an applicant from receiving tax credits under that program. Applicants are encouraged to evaluate which program may be most beneficial to their project before submit- ting a concept paper for consideration under § 48C(e). When evaluating Critical Material Manufacturing and Recycling Projects, DOE will take into consideration whether the project processes, refines, or recycles critical materials as determined by the Secretary of Energy, as described in sec- tion 1.3(b) of Appendix A. When evaluating Industrial Decarbon- ization Projects, DOE will give priority to projects that deeply reduce emissions to levels significantly below a reason- able domestic industry average (on a sec- tor-specific basis) and the 20% reduction eligibility requirement stated in section 1.2 of Appendix A, Industrial Decarbon- ization Projects. DOE will give priority to Industrial Decarbonization Projects that advance the commercial viability and uptake of replicable decarbonization efforts in major industrial applications (e.g., cement, iron and steel, aluminum, chemicals, and other energy-intensive manufacturing sectors), including inno- vative solutions, and to projects that align with one or more cross-cutting indus- trial decarbonization techniques, such as energy efficiency, electrification, low-car- bon fuels, feedstocks, and energy sources (LCFFES), material efficiency or substi- tution, and carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS). 2.4 Stage 1, Concept Paper Guidance The first stage of DOE review requires applicants to submit concept papers describing the proposed project. This sec- tion describes the information applicants must include in concept papers and the format of the submission. Concept papers will undergo a multi-step evaluation by DOE. Applicants who applied in Round 1 and were not selected for an allocation are eligible to submit a concept paper in Round 2. Bulletin No. 2024–24 1491 June 10, 2024 2.4.1 Concept Paper Submission Requirements This section outlines the format of the concept paper submission. See Appen- dix A for a description of the eligibility requirements for the § 48C credit under this notice. See Section 2.7, Technical Review Criteria, for a description of the technical review criteria that will be used to evaluate submitted concept papers. The purpose of the concept paper stage is to save applicants the considerable time and expense of preparing § 48C(e) applications for proposed projects that are unlikely to be selected for recommenda- tion. The concept paper must conform to the following requirements: • Concept paper must be written in English. • Use Times New Roman typeface, a black font, and a font size of 11 points or larger (except in figures and tables). A symbol font may be used to insert Greek letters or special char- acters; the font size requirement still applies. • The control number must be promi- nently displayed on the upper right corner of the header of every page. Page numbers must be included in the footer of every page. • Each must be submitted in Adobe PDF format unless stated otherwise. Each concept paper should be limited to unique property within a distinct qual- ifying advanced energy project that does not overlap with a qualifying advanced energy project in any other application submitted by the same applicant: • For applicants applying under the Clean Energy Manufacturing and Recycling Project category, or the Critical Materials Project category, the applicant may submit more than one application involving the same facility. However, the quali- fied investment for each project at the same facility may not overlap in Round 2. • For applicants applying under the Industrial Decarbonization Project category, the applicant may submit only one application at the same facil- ity in Round 2. If projects involve more than one qual- ifying advanced energy project listed in Appendix A, then applicants must choose a primary specified advanced energy property for their project. The entire concept paper submission includes two components: a template (there are unique forms for Clean Energy Manufacturing and Recycling Projects/Critical Materials Projects and Industrial Decarbonization Projects) and a data sheet. Note: The maximum file size that can be uploaded to the 48C portal is 25 MB. Files in excess of 25 MB cannot be uploaded, and hence cannot be submitted for review. If a file exceeds 25 MB but is still within the maximum page limit, it must be broken into parts and denoted to that effect in the naming convention of the file. For example: “[ControlNum- ber]-ConceptPaper_Part_1.pdf”, “[Con- trolNumber]-ConceptPaper_Part_2.pdf. The full list of required files for con- cept paper submission is illustrated in the following table. Table 3: Files Required for Concept Paper Submission ComponentFile FormatMaximum Pages File Name Concept Paper Template (either the Clean Energy Manufacturing and Recycling Projects/Critical Materials Projects Template or the Industrial Decarbonization Projects Template) PDF5[ControlNumber]- ConceptPaper.pdf Concept Paper Data SheetMS ExcelN/A[ControlNumber]-CP- DataSheet.xlsx For all files, “[ControlNumber]” should be replaced by the application’s control number. For example, for a control number of 1234, the file would be named, “1234-ConceptPaper.pdf”. 2.4.2 Concept Paper Template At the Concept Paper stage, applicants may be asked to respond to the following questions in their submission. Additional questions may be added to this list when Concept Paper submissions open. In addi- tion, applicants will be asked to submit an Excel data sheet. 2.4.2.1 Clean Energy Manufacturing and Recycling and Critical Materials Projects Concept Paper Template • Project Overview and Schedule o Describe your company and project team, including key personnel and any subcontractors on the project. o Describe whether the proj- ect will establish, re-equip, or expand a facility; whether the facility will support the man- ufacturing, processing, refin- ing, or recycling of specified advanced energy property; and the extent to which innovative equipment and/or processes will be employed. o Describe the status of the proj- ect and provide any additional June 10, 2024 1492 Bulletin No. 2024–24 details that are helpful to under- stand the project schedule. o List local, state, and/or federal permits that are required for this project and specify which of these permits you already possess.

As part of this review, DOE will determine whether the proposed project meets the definition of a qualifying advanced energy project, as described in Appendix A. If a concept paper fails to meet com- pliance or eligibility requirements or fails to provide sufficient information for eval- uation, DOE reserves the right to request clarifications and/or missing information from some or all applicants through writ- ten submissions provided to DOE in a timely manner. Concept papers that fail to meet the compliance or eligibility require- ments or do not provide sufficient infor- mation for evaluation will be considered non-responsive and will receive a discour- agement letter. 2.4.3.2 Technical Review After the concept paper compliance and eligibility review, DOE will perform a technical review process based on four technical review criteria: • Criterion 1: Commercial Viability. • Criterion 2: Greenhouse Gas Emis- sions Impacts. • Criterion 3: Strengthening U.S. Sup- ply Chains and Domestic Manufac- turing for a Net-Zero Economy. • Criterion 4: Workforce and Commu- nity Engagement. See complete details of the technical review criteria in Section 2.7, Technical June 10, 2024 1494 Bulletin No. 2024–24 Review Criteria. All technical review cri- teria will be used in a thorough, consis- tent, and objective examination to develop scores for ranking applications and deter- mining merit of each proposed project. The review of the Commercial Viability criterion will additionally inform eligi- bility by determining whether the project has a reasonable expectation of commer- cial viability, as described in § 48C(d)(3) (A). The information requested for each criterion will vary based on the qualify- ing advanced energy project category, as detailed in Section 2.7, Technical Review Criteria. 2.4.3.3 Final Outcome for Concept Papers Following the compliance, eligibility, and technical reviews, DOE may also consider program policy factors when determining the final portfolio of recom- mendations (see Section 2.9, DOE Rec- ommendation Process). After this review, DOE will issue a letter to applicants either encouraging them to submit a § 48C(e) application or discouraging them from submitting a § 48C(e) application. An applicant that receives a dis- couragement letter may still submit a § 48C(e) application in accordance with the § 48C(e) program and additional guidance. Receiving a discouragement letter in response to a submitted concept paper does not disqualify a taxpayer from submitting a § 48C(e) application but represents DOE’s feedback that the proj- ect, as proposed, is unlikely to receive a recommendation based on the informa- tion provided in the concept paper. DOE expects to transmit encouragement and discouragement letters to applicants in the summer of 2024. Following the encouragement and dis- couragement notifications, DOE will pub- lish a summary of general feedback based on the concept paper review process. 2.5 Stage 2, 48C(e) Application Guidance The second evaluation stage will con- sist of a review of § 48C(e) applications submitted after the concept paper stage. Sections 2.6, Additional Application Materials, 2.8, Submission and Regis- tration Information and Requirements, and 2.9, DOE Recommendation Process describe the information about the sub- mission process and additional instruc- tions for applicants. Applicants may not submit a § 48C(e) application unless they submitted a concept paper by the specified deadline. The deadline for § 48C(e) applications will be communicated to applicants in the encouragement and discouragement let- ters and posted on the 48C portal. 2.5.1 Application Submission Requirements This section outlines the format of the § 48C(e) application submission.

As part of this review, DOE will determine whether the proposed project meets the definition of a qualifying advanced energy project, as described in Appendix A. If a § 48C(e) application fails to meet compliance or eligibility requirements or fails to provide sufficient information for evaluation, DOE reserves the right to request clarifications and/or missing information from some or all applicants through written submissions provided to DOE in a timely manner. Section 48C(e) applications that fail to meet the compli- ance and eligibility requirements or do not provide sufficient information for evalu- ation will be considered non-responsive, and DOE will recommend a denial of allocation without proceeding to technical review. 2.5.3.2 Technical Review After the § 48C(e) application compli- ance and eligibility review, DOE will per- form a technical review process based on four technical review criteria: • Criterion 1: Commercial Viability • Criterion 2: Greenhouse Gas Emis- sions Impacts • Criterion 3: Strengthening U.S. Sup- ply Chains and Domestic Manufac- turing for a Net-Zero Economy • Criterion 4: Workforce and Commu- nity Engagement See complete details of the technical review criteria for § 48C(e) applications in Section 2.7, Technical Review Criteria of this appendix. All technical review cri- teria will be used in a thorough, consis- 3 https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-01/2022.12.22%20Interim%20Determination%20on%20Low%20Carbon%20Materials%20under%20IRA%2060503%20and%20 60506_508.pdf June 10, 2024 1502 Bulletin No. 2024–24 tent, and objective examination to develop scores for ranking applications and deter- mining merit of each proposed project. The review of the Commercial Viability criterion will additionally inform eligi- bility by determining whether the project has a reasonable expectation of commer- cial viability, as required by § 48C(d)(3) (A). The information requested for each criterion will vary based on the qualify- ing advanced energy project category, as detailed in Section 2.7, Technical Review Criteria. 2.5.3.3 Due Diligence Review To ensure the § 48C(e) program sup- ports strengthening and securing U.S. sup- ply chains and domestic manufacturing to the greatest extent possible, DOE may conduct a due diligence review to deter- mine if an applicant has a connection with an entity that could put these goals at risk. 2.5.3.4 Final Recommendation for § 48C(e) Applications Following the compliance, eligibility, and technical reviews, DOE may also consider program policy factors and the results of the due diligence review when determining the final portfolio of recom- mendations (see Section 2.9.1, Program Policy Factors). 2.6 Additional Application Materials 2.6.1 Data Sheet To capture and process informa- tion submitted in the concept paper and § 48C(e) application, applicants are required to fill out and submit the supple- mentary Concept Paper Data Sheet and 48C Application Data Sheet, respectively. The above sections on content and form of concept papers and § 48C(e) applications indicate which categories of information will be captured in the data sheet. This section provides explanations and exam- ples on select terms for which the appli- cant may benefit from additional informa- tion. This list is not exhaustive, and there will be unique questions for each project category within the Data Sheet template for the concept paper and § 48C(e) appli- cation stages. Refer to the Data Sheet for specific information requested relevant to your project. Applicants should substantiate in their narrative any data which is inputted into either Data Sheet. It is essential that appli- cants conform to this process in order to ensure a competitive review of all appli- cations. 2.6.1.1 Levelized Cost The 48C Application Data Sheet for Clean Energy Manufacturing and Recy- cling projects requires applicants to iden- tify their levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and/or emissions abatement (LCEA). The 48C Application Data Sheet will provide stock information, such as inflation rates, taxes and insurance, and depreciation. LCOE should be expressed in nominal terms and should not include any fed- eral, state, or other financial incentives. Further, plant and related cost values and prices of commodity fuels or feedstocks used in the calculation should reflect cur- rent national wholesale averages where possible. The following information should be provided as documentation: • Brief description of the methodology used as the basis for the calculation. This methodology should be a com- monly accepted industry standard. • Identification and brief rationale for the source of key values used in the calculation, including capital or first costs, operating and maintenance costs, prices of commodity fuels or feedstocks, and carbon emissions associated with the operation of the end-use energy product. • Justification for any use of a resource-related parameter (e.g., capacity factor) different than the national averages provided. • In the case of LCEA, identification and brief rationale for the key values associated with the baseline energy mix, including the cost of generation and carbon emissions. • Explanation of any factors impact- ing the levelized cost that could not be quantified and included in the calculation, and their potential direc- tional effect on the resulting cost (i.e., increase or decrease). • Explanation of any relationship between the cost of the manufactured property and the performance of the end use energy product. • If possible, an “unimproved” level- ized cost calculation that does not reflect the input of the manufactured property (e.g., relies on the competi- tive standard of the day), based on the same financial and resource assump- tions used in the “improved” calcula- tion. If the applicant chooses to provide an LCOE or LCEA value for the closest comparable end use energy product from a published study, the following informa- tion should be provided as documentation: • Explanation of why a value either could not be calculated or was not appropriate to calculate for the end- use energy product. • Brief description of the methodology used in the cited study. • Identification of key assumptions used in the study, including the year basis for which the cost is reported (if the cost is reported in real terms; e.g., $2011), the year of costs and prices of fuel commodities, the year to which the end cost value is referenced (e.g., could be a future year), the extent of technology improvement assumed for the comparable end use energy prod- uct, the regional extent of the base- line assumed (e.g., global, the United States, or a region of United States), the carbon emissions associated with the baseline energy mix and the end- use energy product, the key finan- cial assumptions (e.g., interest rates, taxes, and incentives included), and the resource-related parameters (e.g., capacity factors). • Explanation of how the above assumptions differ from those pro- vided above for guiding the calcu- lation of the cost of abatement, and the potential directional effect of these differences on the study’s cost value (i.e., if the aforementioned assumptions required for cost of abatement calculation had been used, explain whether the study’s cost value likely have increased or decreased).

For questions regarding other non-tax aspects of the § 48C(e) program unrelated to the 48C portal, see Section 2.11, Ques- tions/Comments and Informational Webi- nar. June 10, 2024 1508 Bulletin No. 2024–24 2.8.4 Application Forms and Format of Submissions Applicants must log in to the 48C por- tal to download all required forms and submit concept papers and § 48C(e) appli- cations to be considered for a § 48C(e) credit allocation. The applicant will have the opportunity to re-submit revised appli- cation materials for any reason as long as the revision is submitted by the specified deadline. 2.8.5 Electronic Authorization of Applications Submission of § 48C(e) application materials through electronic systems used by DOE, including the 48C portal or its successor, will constitute the authorized representative’s approval and electronic signature. 2.8.6 Markings of Confidential Information If elements of a § 48C(e) application contain information the taxpayer consid- ers to be trade secrets, confidential, priv- ileged, or otherwise exempt from disclo- sure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA, 5 U.S.C. § 552), the taxpayer may assert a claim of exemption at the time of application by placing the follow- ing text on the first page of the § 48C(e) application, and specifying the page or pages of the § 48C(e) application to be restricted: “Pages [list applicable pages] of this document may contain trade secrets, confidential, proprietary, or privileged information that is exempt from pub- lic disclosure. Such information shall be used or disclosed only for evalua- tion purposes. The Government may use or disclose any information that is not appropriately marked or otherwise restricted, regardless of source. [End of Notice]” The header and footer of every page that contains confidential, proprietary, or priv- ileged information must be marked as fol- lows: “Contains Trade Secrets, Confiden- tial, Proprietary, or Privileged Information Exempt from Public Disclosure.” In addi- tion, each line or paragraph containing proprietary, privileged, or trade secret information must be clearly marked with double brackets or highlighting. 2.9 DOE Recommendation Process The final outcome of each stage of the DOE review process is to develop a recommendation and ranking (DOE rec- ommendation) of projects. DOE will pro- vide a recommendation and ranking for a project only if it determines that the appli- cation meets all requirements described in this guidance, and that the project is eligible, has a reasonable expectation of commercial viability, merits a recommen- dation, and supports program policy fac- tors when considering the full portfolio of recommended projects. 2.9.1 Program Policy Factors In addition to the criteria described in Section 2.7, Technical Review Criteria DOE may also consider the following pro- gram policy factors when determining the DOE recommendation. • The degree to which the proposed project contributes to a portfolio that optimizes the use of available credit amounts to address existing or antici- pated gaps, vulnerabilities, or oppor- tunities and to expand domestic man- ufacturing capacity in priority supply chains in a timely manner. • The degree to which the proposed project contributes to a portfolio that efficiently uses available credit amounts to enable significant addi- tional reductions in industrial GHG emissions, such as projects with low levelized cost of abatement of GHG emissions and those that are close to the margins of being cost effective but would not be without support of the 48C program. • The degree to which the proposed project contributes to a portfolio that enhances American industrial and manufacturing competitiveness in a global net-zero economy. • The degree to which the proposed project exhibits technological and product diversity when compared to other projects recommended for allo- cation. • The degree to which the proposed project contributes to portfolio diver- sity within a project category and across project categories. • The degree to which the proposed project contributes to a portfolio that supports a diversity of organizational sizes, including small- and medi- um-sized manufacturers. • The degree to which the proposed project is likely to contribute to a long-term, place-based, coordinated, and collaborative regional economic development strategy. • The degree to which the project will contribute to follow-on supply chain investments in the region. • The degree to which the proposed project, or group of projects, repre- sent a desired geographic distribu- tion, when compared to other projects recommended for allocation. • The degree to which the proposed project will accelerate transforma- tional technological advances in areas that industry by itself is not likely to undertake because of financial uncer- tainty. • The degree to which the proposed project contributes to a portfolio of recommended projects with at least 40% of credits allocated to projects in energy communities, as described in § 48C(e)(2). • The degree to which the proposed project, and other projects recom- mended for allocation, contributes to the total portfolio meeting the goals reflected in the Workforce and Com- munity Engagement technical review criterion. • The degree to which the proposed project has broad public support from the communities most directly impacted by the project. • The degree to which the project con- tributes to a portfolio that meets the goals reflected in the Workforce and Community Engagement technical review criterion by producing addi- tional benefits to communities, par- ticularly disadvantaged communities, such as reducing co-pollutants and other environmental (e.g., air and water) burdens. Bulletin No. 2024–24 1509 June 10, 2024 2.9.2 DOE Recommendations 2.9.2.1 Concept Paper Recommendations For the concept paper stage, the DOE recommendation will include all projects that are encouraged to submit a § 48C(e) application. Projects that are not included in the DOE recommendation will receive a letter of discouragement. An applicant that receives a letter of discouragement in response to a submitted concept paper may still submit a § 48C(e) application in accordance with this guidance. Receiving such a letter does not disqualify an appli- cant from submitting a § 48C(e) applica- tion but represents DOE’s feedback that the project is unlikely to receive a recom- mendation based on the information pro- vided in the concept paper. 2.9.2.2 Section 48C(e) Application Recommendations For the § 48C(e) application stage, the DOE recommendation will include the portfolio of projects that help to achieve the goals of the program. This recommen- dation will be based on a combination of the numeric score from the technical review process, as well as the application of the above program policy factors. 2.10 Post Allocation 2.10.1 Requirements for Certification As described in this notice, applica- tions receiving allocation letters must provide evidence that they have met the requirements for certification, such as all permits necessary to commence construc- tion and any other documents that sup- port metrics on production capacity, job creation, GHG emissions reduction, and overall commercial viability of the proj- ect. Applicants will upload documents providing this evidence to the 48C portal not later than 2 years from the date the IRS notified the applicant that they have received an allocation. DOE’s recommendation is based in part on commitments and other claims stated by the applicant in the § 48C(e) application. The evidence provided by the applicant for certification must therefore also include documents demonstrating that any commitments or other claims in the § 48C(e) application have been met. These documents could include Com- munity Benefits Agreements, collective bargaining agreements, contracts, offtake agreements, or any other commitments or arrangements claimed in the § 48C(e) applications that may have had an impact on the evaluation of the application. Doc- uments already provided as appendices in the § 48C(e) application do not need to be submitted again for certification. Addi- tional documents may be required, which will be shared at or after the time of allo- cation. 2.10.2 Request for Debriefing Upon receiving a denial letter from the IRS, applicants can request a debriefing with DOE on its review of the § 48C(e) application. The denial letter will include instructions for requesting a debriefing. Upon request, DOE will offer a debriefing to an applicant that sub- mitted a § 48C(e) application (after submitting a concept paper and being encouraged to submit such § 48C(e) application) and subsequently, was not allocated a credit in Round 2 of the § 48C(e) program. Debriefings will not be available to applicants that receive a letter of discouragement. Debrief- ings will be held by DOE after the application period ends. Requests for a debriefing must be received by DOE no later than 30 business days from the date of the Denial Letter issued to the applicant. The sole purpose of the debriefing is to provide DOE’s impres- sion of the strengths and weaknesses of the rejected § 48C(e) application to enable applicants to improve § 48C(e) applications for future rounds of the § 48C(e) program or § 48C credit allo- cation programs. 2.11 Questions/Comments and Informational Webinar 2.11.1 Questions and Comments Any questions or comments regarding the non-tax aspects of this notice can be submitted to the Department of Energy at 48CQuestions@hq.doe.gov. DOE may post questions and answers related to this notice in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section at https://www.energy. gov/infrastructure/48C. Any questions or comments received under this notice are subject to public release pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act. DOE is under no obligation to respond to, or acknowledge receipt of, any questions or comments submitted under this notice and any responses provided do not constitute legal advice provided by either DOE or the IRS. Questions related to the 48C portal should be directed to 48CQuestions@ hq.doe.gov. This includes questions about account registration or using the portal. Questions regarding application materi- als, eligibility, the DOE review process, or other programmatic questions not about the portal should not be sent to this email address. 2.11.2 Informational Webinar DOE will conduct one or more infor- mational webinars during the application process. They will be held before the due date for the § 48C(e) application. Attendance is not mandatory and will not positively or negatively impact the review of any applicant submissions. As the webinar will be open to all applicants who wish to participate, applicants should refrain from asking questions or commu- nicating information that would reveal confidential and/or proprietary informa- tion specific to their project. The informational webinar will be held no later than May 31, 2024. Additional information including a link for registra- tion can be found at https://www.energy. gov/infrastructure/48C .

1611 June 10, 2024 Credit for Carbon Oxide Sequestration 2024 Section 45Q Inflation Adjustment Factor Notice 2024-39 SECTION 1. PURPOSE This notice publishes the inflation adjustment factor for the credit for car- bon oxide sequestration under § 45Q of the Internal Revenue Code (§ 45Q credit) for calendar year 2024. The inflation adjustment factor is used to determine the amount of the credit allowable under § 45Q for taxpayers that make an elec- tion under § 45Q(b)(3) to have the dollar amounts applicable under § 45Q(a)(1) or (2) apply. SECTION 2. BACKGROUND Section 45Q was added to the Code by § 115 of the Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008, enacted as Division B of Pub. L. 110-343, 122 Stat. 3765, 3829 (October 3, 2008), to provide a credit for the sequestration of carbon dioxide. Section 45Q was amended by § 1131 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Tax Act of 2009, enacted as Division B of Pub. L. 111-5, 123 Stat 115 (February 17, 2009), § 41119 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (BBA), Pub. L. No. 115-123 (February 9, 2018), § 121 of the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, enacted as Division EE of the Consoli- dated Appropriations Act, 2021, Pub. L. 116-260, 134 Stat. 3051 (December 27, 2020), and § 13104 of Pub. L. 117-169, 136 Stat. 1818 (August 16, 2022), com- monly known as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Section 45Q(a)(1) allows a credit of $20 per metric ton of qualified carbon oxide (i) captured by the taxpayer using carbon capture equipment which is origi- nally placed in service at a qualified facil- ity before the date of the enactment of the BBA, (ii) disposed of by the taxpayer in secure geological storage, and (iii) not used by the taxpayer as a tertiary injectant in a qualified enhanced oil or natural gas recovery project. Section 45Q(a)(2) allows a credit of $10 per metric ton of qualified carbon oxide (i) captured by the taxpayer using carbon capture equipment which is orig- inally placed in service at a qualified facility before the date of the enactment of the BBA, and (ii) either (I) used by the taxpayer as a tertiary injectant in a quali- fied enhanced oil or natural gas recovery project and disposed of by the taxpayer in secure geological storage or (II) utilized by the taxpayer in a manner described in § 45Q(f)(5). Section 45Q(b)(3) provides that, for purposes of determining the carbon oxide sequestration credit under this section, a tax- payer may elect to have the dollar amounts applicable under § 45Q(a)(1) or (2) apply in lieu of the dollar amounts applicable under § 45Q(a)(3) or (4) for each metric ton of qualified carbon oxide which is captured by the taxpayer using carbon capture equip- ment which is originally placed in service at a qualified facility on or after the date of the enactment of the BBA. Under § 45Q(f)(7), for taxable years beginning in a calendar year after 2009, the dollar amounts contained in § 45Q(a) (1) and (2) must be adjusted for inflation by multiplying such dollar amount by the inflation adjustment factor for such calen- dar year determined under § 43(b)(3)(B), determined by substituting “2008” for “1990.” Section 43(b)(3)(B) defines the term “inflation adjustment factor” as, with respect to any calendar year, a fraction the numerator of which is the GNP implicit price deflator for the preceding calendar year and the denominator of which is the GNP implicit price deflator for 1990. For purposes of § 45Q(f)(7), for the 2023 cal- endar year, the inflation adjustment factor is a fraction the numerator of which is the GNP implicit price deflator for 2023 (122.179) and the denominator of which is the GNP implicit price deflator for 2008 (88.046). Section 45Q(g), as amended by § 13104(f) of the IRA, provides that in the case of any carbon capture equip- ment placed in service before the date of the enactment of the BBA, the credit under § 45Q shall apply with respect to qualified carbon oxide captured using such equipment before the earlier of January 1, 2023, and the end of the cal- endar year in which the Secretary of the Treasury or her delegate, in consultation with the Administrator of the Environ- mental Protection Agency, certifies that, during the period beginning after Octo- ber 3, 2008, a total of 75,000,000 metric tons of qualified carbon oxide have been taken into account in accordance with (i) § 45Q(a), as in effect on the day before the date of the enactment of BBA, and (ii) § 45Q(a)(1) and (2). Notice 2022- 38 provided that 2022 was the final cal- endar year for which a taxpayer may claim a § 45Q credit under § 45Q(a)(1) and (2) for qualified carbon oxide that is captured by carbon capture equipment originally placed in service at a quali- fied facility before the date of enactment of the BBA. Therefore, the inflation adjustment amounts in section 3 of this notice only apply if a taxpayer elects under § 45Q(b)(3) to apply the dollar amounts applicable under § 45Q(a)(1) or (2) in lieu of the dollar amounts appli- cable under § 45Q(a)(3) or (4). Because amendments to § 45Q(g) made by sec- tion 13104(f) of the IRA eliminated the 75,000,000 metric ton threshold begin- ning January 1, 2023, this notice obso- letes Notice 2009-83, 2009-2 C.B. 588. Sections 1 through 5 of Notice 2009-83 were previously obsoleted by the final regulations for § 45Q, T.D. 9944, 86 FR 4728 (January 15, 2021). This notice also obsoletes Notice 2011-25, 2011-1 C.B. 604, which modified section 4 of Notice 2009-83. SECTION 3. INFLATION ADJUSTMENT FACTOR The inflation adjustment factor for calendar year 2024 is 1.3877. The § 45Q credit for calendar year 2024 is $27.75 per metric ton of qualified carbon oxide under § 45Q(a)(1) and $13.88 per metric ton of qualified carbon oxide under § 45Q(a)(2). SECTION 4. EFFECT ON OTHER DOCUMENTS Notice 2009-83 and Notice 2011-25 are obsoleted beginning January 1, 2023. June 10, 2024 1612 Bulletin No. 2024–24 SECTION 5. DRAFTING INFORMATION The principal author of this notice is Christopher Vlcek of the Office of Asso- ciate Chief Counsel (Passthroughs & Spe- cial Industries).

Update for Weighted Average Interest Rates, Yield Curves, and Segment Rates Notice 2024-40 This notice provides guidance on the corporate bond monthly yield curve, the corresponding spot segment rates used under § 417(e)(3), and the 24-month aver- age segment rates under § 430(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, this notice provides guidance as to the inter- est rate on 30-year Treasury securities under § 417(e)(3)(A)(ii)(II) as in effect for plan years beginning before 2008 and the 30-year Treasury weighted average rate under § 431(c)(6)(E)(ii)(I). YIELD CURVE AND SEGMENT RATES Section 430 specifies the minimum funding requirements that apply to sin- gle-employer plans (except for CSEC plans under § 414(y)) pursuant to § 412. Section 430(h)(2) specifies the interest rates that must be used to determine a plan’s target normal cost and funding target. Under this provision, present value is generally deter- mined using three 24-month average inter- est rates (“segment rates”), each of which applies to cash flows during specified peri- ods. To the extent provided under § 430(h) (2)(C)(iv), these segment rates are adjusted by the applicable percentage of the 25-year average segment rates for the period ending September 30 of the year preceding the cal- endar year in which the plan year begins. 1 However, an election may be made under § 430(h)(2)(D)(ii) to use the monthly yield curve in place of the segment rates. Section 1.430(h)(2)-1(d) provides rules for determining the monthly cor- porate bond yield curve, 2 and § 1.430(h) (2)-1(c) provides rules for determining the 24-month average corporate bond segment rates used to compute the target normal cost and the funding target. Con- sistent with the methodology specified in § 1.430(h)(2)-1(d), the monthly corporate bond yield curve derived from April 2024 data is in Table 2024-4 at the end of this notice. The spot first, second, and third segment rates for the month of April 2024 are, respectively, 5.24, 5.48, and 5.61. The 24-month average segment rates determined under § 430(h)(2)(C)(i) through (iii) must be adjusted pursuant to § 430(h) (2)(C)(iv) to be within the applicable mini- mum and maximum percentages of the cor- responding 25-year average segment rates. For this purpose, any 25-year average seg- ment rate that is less than 5% is deemed to be 5%. The 25-year average segment rates for plan years beginning in 2023 and 2024 were published in Notice 2022-40, 2022- 40 I.R.B. 266 and Notice 2023-66, 2023- 40 I.R.B. 992, respectively. The applicable minimum and maximum percentages are 95% and 105% for plan years beginning in 2023 and 2024. 24-MONTH AVERAGE CORPORATE BOND SEGMENT RATES The three 24-month average corporate bond segment rates applicable for May 2024 without adjustment for the 25-year average segment rate limits are as follows: 24-Month Average Segment Rates Without 25-Year Average Adjustment Applicable Month First Segment Second Segment Third Segment May 2024 4.84 5.24 5.22 The adjusted 24-month average seg- ment rates set forth in the chart below reflect § 430(h)(2)(C)(iv) of the Code. The 24-month averages applicable for May 2024, adjusted to be within the applicable minimum and maximum percentages of the corresponding 25-year average seg- ment rates in accordance with § 430(h)(2) (C)(iv) of the Code, are as follows: Adjusted 24-Month Average Segment Rates For Plan Years Beginning InApplicable MonthFirst SegmentSecond SegmentThird Segment 2023May 20244.845.245.74 2024May 20244.845.245.59 1 Pursuant to § 433(h)(3)(A), the third segment rate determined under § 430(h)(2)(C) is used to determine the current liability of a CSEC plan (which is used to calculate the minimum amount of the full funding limitation under § 433(c)(7)(C)). 2 For months before February 2024, the monthly corporate bond yield curve was determined in accordance with Notice 2007-81, 2007-44 I.R.B. 899. Section 1.430(h)(2)-1(d) generally adopts the methodology for determining the monthly corporate bond yield curve under Notice 2007-81 but includes two enhancements to take into account subsequent changes in the bond market. Those enhancements are described in the preamble to TD 9986 (89 FR 2127). Bulletin No. 2024–24 1613 June 10, 2024 30-YEAR TREASURY SECURITIES INTEREST RATES Section 431 specifies the minimum funding requirements that apply to multi- employer plans pursuant to § 412. Section 431(c)(6)(B) specifies a minimum amount for the full-funding limitation described in § 431(c)(6)(A), based on the plan’s current liability. Section 431(c)(6)(E)(ii)(I) pro- vides that the interest rate used to calculate current liability for this purpose must be no more than 5 percent above and no more than 10 percent below the weighted aver- age of the rates of interest on 30-year Trea- sury securities during the four-year period ending on the last day before the beginning of the plan year. Notice 88-73, 1988-2 C.B. 383, provides guidelines for determining the weighted average interest rate. The rate of interest on 30-year Treasury securities for April 2024 is 4.66 percent. The Service determined this rate as the average of the daily determinations of yield on the 30-year Treasury bond maturing in February 2054. For plan years beginning in May 2024, the weighted average of the rates of interest on 30-year Treasury securities and the permis- sible range of rates used to calculate current liability are as follows: Treasury Weighted Average Rates For Plan Years Beginning In30-Year Treasury Weighted AveragePermissible Range 90% to 105% May 20243.393.05 to 3.56 MINIMUM PRESENT VALUE SEGMENT RATES In general, the applicable interest rates under § 417(e)(3)(D) are segment rates computed without regard to a 24-month average. Notice 2007-81 provides guide- lines for determining the minimum pres- ent value segment rates. Pursuant to that notice, the minimum present value seg- ment rates determined for April 2024 are as follows: Minimum Present Value Segment Rates Month First Segment Second Segment Third Segment April 2024 5.24 5.48 5.61 DRAFTING INFORMATION The principal author of this notice is Tom Morgan of the Office of Associ- ate Chief Counsel (Employee Benefits, Exempt Organizations, and Employment Taxes). However, other personnel from the IRS participated in the development of this guidance.

PURPOSE This notice modifies section 3.04 of Notice 2023-38, 2023-22 I.R.B. 872, in three ways. First, this notice expands the list of Applicable Projects in “Table 2—Categorization of Applicable Project Components” (Table 2) to include hydro- power and pumped hydropower storage facilities. Second, this notice redesignates the “Utility scale photovoltaic system” Applicable Project as the “Ground-mount and rooftop photovoltaic system.” Third, this notice includes certain Manufactured Product Components with respect to pre- viously listed Applicable Projects. This notice also provides a new safe harbor that taxpayers may elect to use to classify Applicable Project Components and to calculate the Domestic Cost Percentage in an Applicable Project (New Elective Safe Harbor) to qualify for the domestic content bonus credit amounts under §§ 45, 45Y, 48, and 48E of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). 1 Taxpayers may elect to use the classifications and cost percentages in the New Elective Safe Harbor in lieu of the Domestic Manufactured Products and Components Cost and Total Manufactured Products Cost provisions of the Adjusted Percentage Rule in section 3.03(2)(b) and (c) of Notice 2023-38, which provisions require taxpayers to use the manufactur- er’s direct costs of producing Manufac- tured Products and Manufactured Product Components in an Applicable Project. Tax- payers who elect to use the New Elective Safe Harbor for any Applicable Project must use the classifications and cost per- centages provided under the New Elective Safe Harbor when applying the Adjusted Percentage Rule and may not use a differ- ent method or substitute any cost percent- ages into the provided table to determine any classifications and costs. Finally, this notice requests comments to inform any potential updates to Table 2 and the New Elective Safe Harbor. Although this notice does not address or modify provisions other than sections 3.03(2)(b) and (c) and 3.04 of Notice 2023-38, the Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intend to consider comments received on other sections of the notice in the context of forthcoming proposed regulations or any further guidance regarding the domes- tic content bonus requirements. Taxpayers may rely on Notice 2023-38, as modified by this notice, for the domestic content bonus credit requirements for any Appli- cable Project the construction of which begins before the date that is 90 days after the date of publication of the forthcom- ing proposed regulations on the domestic content bonus credit requirements in the Federal Register. Taxpayers may rely on the New Elective Safe Harbor provided in Table 1 of this notice for the domes- tic content bonus credit requirements for any Applicable Project the construction of which begins before the date that is 90 days after any future modification, update, or withdrawal of the New Elective Safe Harbor. SECTION 2. BACKGROUND Public Law 117-169, 136 Stat. 1818 (August 16, 2022), commonly known as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), amended §§ 45 and 48 to provide a domestic content bonus credit amount for certain qualified facilities or energy projects placed in service after December 31, 2022, and added new §§ 45Y and 48E, which include a domestic content bonus credit amount for certain investments in qualified facilities or energy storage tech- nologies placed in service after December 31, 2024. 2 .01 Notice 2023-38. On May 12, 2023, the Treasury Department and the IRS released Notice 2023-38, which states that the Treasury Department and the IRS intend to propose regulations to address the application of the rules that taxpayers must satisfy to qualify for the domestic content bonus credit amounts under §§ 45, 45Y, 48, and 48E, including related record- keeping and certification requirements. Notice 2023-38 also describes certain rules that the Treasury Department and the IRS intend to include in the forthcoming proposed regulations and describes a safe harbor regarding the classification of cer- tain components in representative types of qualified facilities, energy projects, or energy storage technologies. Section 2.01 of Notice 2023-38 pro- vides that an Applicable Project refers to: (i) a qualified facility under §§ 45 or 45Y; (ii) an energy project under § 48, which may include qualified property for which a valid irrevocable election under § 48(a) (5) has been made to treat such qualified property as energy property under § 48; or (iii) a qualified investment with respect to a qualified facility or energy storage tech- nology under § 48E. An Applicable Proj- ect is eligible for a domestic content bonus credit amount if the Applicable Project satisfies the Domestic Content Require- ment set forth in section 3 of Notice 2023- 38 and the taxpayer timely submits to the IRS the Domestic Content Certification Statement described in section 5 of Notice 2023-38. An Applicable Project satisfies the Domestic Content Requirement if both the Steel or Iron Requirement described in section 3.02, and the Manufactured Products Requirement described in sec- tion 3.03, of Notice 2023-38 are satisfied. To determine whether the Steel or Iron Requirement and the Manufactured Prod- ucts Requirement are met, a taxpayer must first determine if each Applicable Project Component (as defined in section 3.01(2) (a) of Notice 2023-38) qualifies as steel, iron, or a Manufactured Product. Section 3.04 of Notice 2023-38 provides a non-ex- clusive safe harbor in Table 2 that taxpay- 1 Unless otherwise specified, all “section” or “§” references are to sections of the Code or the Income Tax Regulations (26 CFR part 1). Unless otherwise specified, capitalized terms used throughout this notice are defined in Notice 2023-38. 2 See §§ 13101(g), 13701(a), 13102(l), and 13702(a) of the IRA, respectively, for the domestic content bonus credit amount requirements under §§ 45(b)(9), 45Y(g)(11), 48(a)(12), and 48E(a) (3)(B). June 10, 2024 1616 Bulletin No. 2024–24 ers may rely on for the classification of certain Applicable Project Components as steel, iron, or Manufactured Products. .02 Manufactured Products Require- ment and the Adjusted Percentage Rule. Section 3.03 of Notice 2023-38 provides that the Manufactured Products Require- ment is met if all Applicable Project Com- ponents that are Manufactured Products are produced in the United States or are deemed to be produced in the United States. Manufactured Products are pro- duced in the United States if all the man- ufacturing processes for the Manufactured Product take place in the United States and all the Manufactured Product Com- ponents are of U.S. origin. Manufactured Products are deemed to be produced in the United States if the Adjusted Percentage Rule in section 3.03(2) of Notice 2023-38 is satisfied. .03 Direct Costs in Adjusted Percent- age Rule. In determining if the Adjusted Percentage Rule is satisfied, the percent- age produced by dividing the Domestic Manufactured Products and Components Cost (as described in section 3.03(2) (b) of Notice 2023-38, and referred to as the numerator in this notice) by the Total Manufactured Products Cost (as described in section 3.03(2)(c) of Notice 2023-38, and referred to as the denominator in this notice) is the Domestic Cost Percentage of an Applicable Project, which must equal or exceed the adjusted percentage that applies to the Applicable Project to satisfy the Adjusted Percentage Rule. To deter- mine the costs to include in the numerator, section 3.03(2)(b) of Notice 2023-38 pro- vides that taxpayers must include direct costs (direct materials and direct labor costs as defined in § 1.263A-1(e)(2)(i)) that are paid or incurred within the mean- ing of section 461 by the manufacturer to produce U.S. Manufactured Products or by the manufacturer of Non-U.S. Manu- factured Products to produce or acquire U.S. Components. Section 3.03(2)(b) of Notice 2023-38 defines U.S. Components as Manufactured Product Components of Non-U.S. Manufactured Products that are Applicable Project Components if the Manufactured Product Components are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States. To determine the costs to include in the denominator, section 3.03(2)(c) of Notice 2023-38 provides that taxpayers must include direct costs (direct materials and direct labor costs as defined in § 1.263A-1(e)(2)(i)) that are paid or incurred within the meaning of section 461 by the manufacturer to produce U.S. Manufactured Products or Non-U.S. Man- ufactured Products. SECTION 3. MODIFICATION OF TABLE 2 IN SECTION 3.04 OF NOTICE 2023-38 .01 Safe Harbor in Table 2 for Clas- sifications of Certain Applicable Project Components. Table 2 in section 3.04 of Notice 2023-38 identifies certain Applica- ble Project Components and Manufactured Product Components that may be found in the identified Applicable Projects, which include utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems, land-based wind facilities, off- shore wind facilities, and battery energy storage technologies. The categorization of each item described in Table 2 as sub- ject to either the Steel or Iron Requirement or Manufactured Products Requirement is based on analysis from the Federal Tran- sit Administration (FTA), Department of Transportation, with assistance from the Department of Energy (DOE) and will be accepted by the IRS for those Applicable Project Components and Manufactured Product Components. .02 Modification of Table 2. Table 2 in section 3.04 of Notice 2023-38 is modified to add the following Applicable Project: Table 2 – Categorization of Applicable Project Components Applicable ProjectApplicable Project ComponentCategorization Hydropower Facility, or Steel or iron rebar for the reservoirs, upper and/or lowerSteel/Iron Pumped Hydropower Stor- age Facility Steel or iron rebar, plating, and piping in water conveyance (penstock piping) Steel/Iron Steel or iron rebar in powerhouse and foundation, spiral case, discharge Steel/Iron ring, and draft tube Steel or iron rebar in canalsSteel/Iron Powerhouse structure, gates, stoplogs, screens, and embedded structure Steel/Iron parts, foundation plates and anchors Turbine/Pump Runner (which includes the following Manufactured Manufactured Product Product Components, if applicable: spiral/scroll case, vanes, bottom ring, wicket gates, runner, draft tube, shaft, head cover, bearings, and flow control and isolation mechanisms) Motor/Generator (which includes the following Manufactured Product Manufactured Product Components, if applicable: stator, rotor, windings, poles, generator shaft, thrust bearing, brake ring/disc, guide bearings, ventilation and cooling system, and exciter) Generator Step-up Transformer (which includes the following Manu-Manufactured Product factured Product Components, if applicable: containment/main tank, cooling system, de-energized tap changer (DETC), load tap changer (LTC), bushings/insulators) Bulletin No. 2024–24 1617 June 10, 2024 Table 2 of Notice 2023-38 is further modified by replacing “Utility-scale pho- tovoltaic system” with “Ground-mount and rooftop photovoltaic system.” Tax- payers may treat any Applicable Project Components or Manufactured Product Components that are listed in Table 1 of this notice as also listed in Table 2 of Notice 2023-38. To the extent Table 2 of Notice 2023-38 and Table 1 of this notice are inconsistent regarding the classifica- tion of Applicable Project Components or Manufactured Product Components, Table 1 of this notice will control. SECTION 4. NEW ELECTIVE SAFE HARBOR .01 In General. The new safe harbor provided in this section applies to both the Steel or Iron Requirement and the Manufactured Products Requirement of the Domestic Content Requirement for an Applicable Project with respect to which a taxpayer elects to have this safe harbor apply. As described more fully in sections 2.03 and 2.04 of this notice, for purposes of the Adjusted Percentage Rule and cal- culating the Domestic Cost Percentage, Notice 2023-38 requires that costs that are included in the numerator and denom- inator are the direct materials and direct labor costs that are paid or incurred by the manufacturer of the Manufactured Product. Taxpayers are further required to calculate the direct costs of any U.S. Components that may have been incorpo- rated into Non-U.S. Manufactured Prod- ucts. The Treasury Department and the IRS are aware that obtaining a manufac- turer’s direct costs of manufacturing may require the taxpayer to gather cost data from multiple suppliers and manufactur- ers, including foreign manufacturers, and may present challenges for substantiation and verification. .02 New Elective Safe Harbor. The Treasury Department and the IRS, in consultation with the DOE, are providing a new elective safe harbor in Table 1 of section 4.04(1)-(3) of this notice (New Elective Safe Harbor) that provides for the classification of identified Applicable Project Components, and the associated cost percentages for each of the identified Manufactured Products and Manufactured Product Components (Assigned Cost Percentages). Although the New Elec- tive Safe Harbor is consistent with Table 2 of Notice 2023-38, as modified by this notice, which provides classifications of Applicable Project Components, the New Elective Safe Harbor also provides cost percentage information obtained from the DOE for purposes of calculating the Domestic Cost Percentage and satisfying the Adjusted Percentage Rule. To gener- ate the cost percentage information, the DOE utilized cost data from a variety of sources, including datasets of system characteristics, price indices, U.S. sur- vey data from the government (for exam- ple, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor) and private sector, public filings from corporations, and com- prehensive interviews of manufacturers, installers, developers, and owners of the representative technologies. The classifications and cost percentages provided in Table 1 of section 4.04(1)-(3) of this notice will be accepted by the IRS for the identified Manufactured Products and Manufactured Product Components for purposes of determining compliance with the Steel or Iron Requirement and calculating the Domestic Cost Percentage, provided all other requirements in Notice 2023-38 are met. A taxpayer electing to use the New Elective Safe Harbor with respect to an Applicable Project of the taxpayer must use the Applicable Project Components and Manufactured Product Components and the cost percentages listed in Table 1 of section 4.04(1)-(3) of this notice as the exclusive and exhaustive set of Applicable Project Components and Manufactured Product Components for purposes of determining compliance with the Domestic Content Requirement for the Applicable Project with respect to which the taxpayer makes this election. To be eligible for the safe harbor, Applicable Projects are not required to be constituted of the full list of Applicable Project Components provided in Table 1 of this notice, and each Applicable Proj- ect Component listed is not required to be constituted of the full list of Manufactured Product Components provided in Table 1 of this notice. Taxpayers may still elect to use the New Elective Safe Harbor even if entries in Table 1 of this notice are not used as inputs to their Applicable Projects or Manufactured Products, or if the Appli- cable Project contains additional inputs not listed in Table 1 of this notice. Any Applicable Project Component or Manufactured Product Component listed in Table 1 of this notice that is not uti- lized as an input to the Applicable Project must be treated by the electing taxpayer as having a zero value in calculating the Domestic Cost Percentage. An Applica- ble Project Component or Manufactured Product Component contained in a tax- payer’s Applicable Project but not listed in Table 1 of this notice will not disqualify the taxpayer from using the New Elec- tive Safe Harbor. However, such unlisted items may not count toward satisfying the Adjusted Percentage Rule. The absence of a Manufactured Product or Manufactured Product Component that is listed in Table 1 of this notice, or the presence of a Manu- factured Product or Manufactured Product Component that is not listed in Table 1 of this notice, in an Applicable Project does not affect the Assigned Cost Percentages listed in Table 1 for purposes of the New Elective Safe Harbor. .03 New Elective Safe Harbor Require- ments. (1) In general. Unless otherwise pro- vided in this notice, if a taxpayer elects to use the New Elective Safe Harbor, all other provisions of Notice 2023-38 apply in determining whether an Applicable Proj- ect meets the Domestic Content Require- ment. For example, the Applicable Proj- ects and Applicable Project Components described in Table 1 of section 4.04(1)-(3) of this notice must satisfy the Steel or Iron Requirement described in section 3.02 of Notice 2023-38 with respect to the Appli- cable Project Components that are speci- fied as subject to the Steel or Iron Require- ment in Table 1 of this notice. See section 4.08 for the New Elective Safe Harbor’s election and certification requirements. (2) No Partial Safe Harbor Reliance. Taxpayers that elect to use the New Elec- tive Safe Harbor must apply in its entirety the section of Table 1 of this notice that is specific to the Applicable Project for which the taxpayer makes such election. For example, if a taxpayer’s Applicable Project is a land-based wind facility, the taxpayer must use the classifications for Applicable Project Components and Manufactured Product Components in Table 1 of this notice with respect to land-based wind June 10, 2024 1618 Bulletin No. 2024–24 and must use the Assigned Cost Percent- ages for all the Manufactured Products and Manufactured Product Components (for example, Blades, Rotor Hub, Nacelle, and Power Converter) provided in Table 1 of this notice that are utilized in the taxpayer’s Applicable Project without substitution. (3) Determining Domestic Cost Per- centage. To determine the Domestic Cost Percentage using the New Elective Safe Harbor, a taxpayer must refer to the sec- tion of Table 1 of this notice that describes their Applicable Project and add up the Assigned Cost Percentages for each listed U.S. Manufactured Product (as defined in section 3.03(1) of Notice 2023-38) and U.S. Component (as described in section 3.03(2)(b) of Notice 2023-38) of their Applicable Project. This total value is the Domestic Cost Percentage for purposes of the New Elective Safe Harbor. Any Manu- factured Product or Manufactured Product Component listed in Table 1 of this notice that is not a part of the taxpayer’s Appli- cable Project must take a zero value for the Assigned Cost Percentage under the New Elective Safe Harbor for such Manu- factured Product or Manufactured Product Component, with all Assigned Cost Per- centages shown in Table 1 of this notice remaining unchanged. Any Manufactured Product or Manufactured Product Com- ponent not listed in Table 1 of this notice must be disregarded for purposes of deter- mining the Domestic Cost Percentage using the New Elective Safe Harbor. (4) Foreign- and Domestic-Sourced Manufactured Products and/or Manufac- tured Product Components. Taxpayers who source the same type of Manufac- tured Product or Manufactured Product Component (that is, they are listed in the same row of Table 1 of this notice) from both foreign and domestic sources (Mixed Source Item or MSI) in a particular Appli- cable Project described in Table 1 of this notice may use the New Elective Safe Harbor to determine a single Assigned Cost Percentage for each separate type of Mixed Source Item in the Applica- ble Project. For Mixed Source Items that have a nameplate capacity, the following weighted average formula may be used to determine the Assigned Cost Percentage attributable to each type of Mixed Source Item: DCP Domestic MSI × Nameplate Capacity Domestic MSI Nameplate Capacity MSI For purposes of this formula: (a) DCP Domestic MSI means the Assigned Cost Percentage derived from Table 1 of this notice of the Mixed Source Item. (b) Nameplate Capacity DomesticMSI means the nameplate capacity of the Mixed Source Item of the same type in the Applicable Project that is produced in the United States. (c) Nameplate Capacity MSI means the total nameplate capacity of the Mixed Source Items of the same type in the Applicable Project. For Mixed Source Items without name- plate capacities, the portion of cost per- centage provided in Table 1 of this notice that may count toward the Domestic Cost Percentage must be calculated by using the weighted average formula described above, modified by replacing the name- plate capacity of the Mixed Source Item with the nameplate capacities of the associated Applicable Project Compo- nents with which the Mixed Source Item is directly integrated. For this purpose, Mixed Source Items without nameplate capacities must apply: the total nameplate capacity of the associated PV module(s) for the Solar PV Table; the total name- plate capacity of the associated wind turbine for land-based wind; or the total nameplate capacity of the battery pack(s) for Battery Electric Storage Systems. If a type of Mixed Source Item without nameplate capacity has multiple units that are both foreign- and domestic-sourced associated and directly integrated with the same Applicable Project Component with nameplate capacity, then all such Mixed Source Items must be treated as foreign-sourced. (5) Production Costs. Table 1 of this notice contains a line item for “Produc- tion,” which, although listed under the column for Manufactured Product Com- ponents, is not a Manufactured Product Component. “Production” refers to the production cost of the relevant Manufac- tured Product and can be included in the total Domestic Cost Percentage only if all the Manufactured Product Components of a Manufactured Product are domestically produced. See Notice 2023-38, section 3.03(2). The Assigned Cost Percentage attributable to production costs for a par- ticular Manufactured Product may be used if such Manufactured Product contains Manufactured Product Components not listed in Table 1 of this notice or if entries in Table 1 of this notice are not a part of such Manufactured Product, so long as the remainder of the Manufactured Product Components in Table 1 that are a part of such Manufactured Product are mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States. (6) Solar Energy Property and Energy Storage Technology as Part of a Single Energy Project. Taxpayers who wish to claim the energy credit determined under § 48 with respect to an energy project that is comprised of a solar photovoltaic sys- tem (solar PV) and battery energy stor- age system (BESS) described in Table 1 of this notice may use the New Elective Safe Harbor and the BESS Multiplier as described below and in section 4.05 of this notice to determine a single Domestic Cost Percentage, for a single energy proj- ect, using a weighted average formula as follows: Domestic Cost Percentage = (DCP PV x Nameplate Capacity PVkW ) + (DCP BESS × Nameplate Capacity BESSkWh × BESS Multiplier) Nameplate Capacity PVkW + (Nameplate Capacity BESSkWh × BESS Multiplier) Bulletin No. 2024–24 1619 June 10, 2024 This formula may be applied only to Applicable Projects that are § 48 energy projects that are comprised of solar PV and BESS. The portion of an Applicable Proj- ect that relates to solar PV, for example, refers to the solar PV assets in such energy project. For purposes of this formula: (a) DCP PV means the total Assigned Cost Percentage derived from Table 1 of this notice associated with the U.S. Man- ufactured Products and U.S. Components of the solar PV portion of the Applicable Project. (b) Nameplate Capacity PVkW means the nameplate capacity of the solar PV por- tion of the Applicable Project, measured in kilowatts of direct current. (c) DCP BESS means the total Assigned Cost Percentage derived from Table 1 of this notice associated with the U.S. Manu- factured Products and U.S. Components of the BESS portion of the Applicable Project. (d) Nameplate Capacity BESSkWh means the nameplate capacity of the BESS por- tion of the Applicable Project, measured in kilowatt-hours of stored energy. (e) BESS Multiplier means the value used to convert BESS nameplate capacity into proportional equivalency to the nameplate capacity of solar PV for weighting costs. (7) Exclusive Safe Harbor. A taxpayer that elects to use the New Elective Safe Harbor with respect to an Applicable Proj- ect must consider the steel or iron products, Manufactured Products, and Manufactured Product Components that are identified in Table 1 of this notice as an exclusive and exhaustive set of steel or iron products, Manufactured Products, and Manufac- tured Product Components for purposes of determining compliance with the Domestic Content Requirement for that Applicable Project. The New Elective Safe Harbor may still be used in instances in which a taxpayer’s Applicable Project does not con- tain every item identified in Table 1 of this notice, or in which a taxpayer’s Applicable Project contains additional items not iden- tified in Table 1 of this notice, provided the taxpayer applies the rules for determining Domestic Cost Percentage described in section 4.03(3) of this notice. (8) Certification. Taxpayers must affir- matively elect to rely on the New Elective Safe Harbor in Table 1 of this notice and must notify the IRS of this election by pro- viding information on the Domestic Con- tent Certification Statement as described in section 4.08 of this notice. .04 Table 1—New Elective Safe Harbor.

Solar PV and BESS systems have nameplate capacities denominated in different units (that is, kW versus kWh). Because the New Elective Safe Harbor was produced using name- plate capacity, the DOE has advised that a multiplier for BESS nameplate capacity is appropriate to align the different solar energy property listed in Table 1 of this notice. Taxpayers may use the BESS Mul- tiplier only with respect to energy projects described in section 4.03(6) of this notice for which they make a valid election to use the New Elective Safe Harbor. PV MarketGround-mount (tracker) Ground-mount (fixed-tilt) Rooftop (MLPE) Rooftop (string inverter) Multiplier 0.570.750.690.99 7 Consistent with Notice 2023-38, the direct cost of producing a Manufactured Product counts toward the Domestic Cost Percentage only if all its Manufactured Product Components are domestically produced. 8 Flanges are typically made from single pieces of steel bar or pre-formed steel ingot; therefore the only component of a flange would be the steel material. 9 Includes transformers, capacitors, inductors, bus/cables, circuit protection not on PCB assemblies. June 10, 2024 1622 Bulletin No. 2024–24 .06 Definitions. (1) Land-based wind. The term “land- based wind” refers to an energy system using wind turbines to generate electricity on land.

The following examples illustrate the application of the New Elec- tive Safe Harbor in Table 1 of this notice: (1) Example 1. (a) In taxable year 2024, taxpayer purchases a 5-megawatt alternating current (MWac) land-based wind facility (Applicable Project A) from Contractor under an engineering, procurement, and construc- tion contract (EPC contract) and places Applicable Project A in service. Taxpayer makes a valid elec- tion to use the New Elective Safe Harbor to qualify for the domestic content bonus credit amount under § 45. Applicable Project A is comprised of four Applicable Project Components identified in Table 1 of this notice: wind turbine, wind tower flanges, tower, and steel rebar in foundation. For taxable year 2024, § 45(b)(9)(C) provides that, for purposes of the Adjusted Percentage Rule, the adjusted percentage is 40 percent for qualified facilities that are not offshore wind facilities. (b) Taxpayer identifies the tower and steel rebar in foundation as steel or iron products in accordance with Table 1 of this notice. The tower and steel rebar in foundation are manufactured in the United States and meet the Steel or Iron Requirement described in section 3.02 of Notice 2023-38. (c) Taxpayer identifies the wind turbine and the wind tower flanges as Manufactured Products in accordance with Table 1 of this notice. (d) The wind turbine is manufactured in the United States and has four Manufactured Product Components: blades, rotor hub, nacelle, and power converter. The blades and nacelles are manufac- tured in the United States and the rotor hub and power converter are not manufactured in the United States. The wind turbine is, therefore, a Non-U.S. Manufactured Product because some of its Manu- factured Product Components are not produced in the United States. (e) The wind tower flanges are not manufactured in the United States and therefore are Non-U.S. Man- ufactured Products. (f) Two Manufactured Product Components identified in Table 1 of this notice are U.S. Com- ponents, namely, the blades and nacelle of the wind turbine. Table 1 of this notice identifies the blades as constituting 31.2% and the nacelle as constituting 47.5% of the total cost of the Manufactured Products of the land-based wind facility. Therefore, Applica- ble Project A satisfies the Adjusted Percentage Rule because its Domestic Cost Percentage of 78.7% (31.2% + 47.5%) exceeds the adjusted percentage that applies to Applicable Project A (40%). (2) Example 1.1. Assume the same facts as in Example 1, except Applicable Project A includes an interconnection transformer and substation. Because an interconnection transformer and substation are not included in Table 1 of this notice, and the tax- payer elected to use the New Elective Safe Harbor, the interconnection transformer and substation are excluded from the Domestic Cost Percentage cal- culation. Applicable Project A satisfies the Adjusted Percentage Rule because its Domestic Cost Percent- age of 78.7% (31.2% + 47.5%) exceeds the adjusted percentage that applies to Applicable Project A (40%). (3) Example 2. (a) In taxable year 2024, Taxpayer purchases a 100-megawatt direct current (MWdc) ground- mounted PV (tracker) (Applicable Project B) from Contractor under an EPC contract, places the proj- ect in service, and makes a valid election to use the New Elective Safe Harbor to qualify for the domes- tic content bonus credit amount under § 48. Appli- cable Project B is an energy project for purposes of § 48 that is comprised of five categories of Appli- cable Project Components identified in Table 1 in this notice for a ground-mounted PV (tracker): PV modules, inverters, PV trackers, steel piles, and steel rebar in foundation. For purposes of the Adjusted Percentage Rule, the adjusted percentage is 40 per- cent for energy projects that are not offshore wind facilities. See § 48(a)(12)(B). (b) In accordance with Table 1 of this notice, taxpayer identifies the steel piles and steel rebar in foundation as steel or iron products and the PV modules, inverters, and PV trackers as Manufactured Products. (c) All of the steel piles and steel rebar in founda- tion are manufactured in the United States and meet the Steel or Iron Requirement. (d) Two sets of PV modules are used in the Applicable Project B. One set has a capacity of 60 MWdc and uses PV modules manufactured in the United States, all of whose Manufactured Product Components, as identified in accordance with Table 1 of this notice, are also manufactured in the United States. The remaining set has a capacity of 40 MWdc and uses PV modules that are not manufactured in the United States and that have no U.S. Components. None of Applicable Project B’s PV inverters are manufactured in the United States or have any U.S. Components. (e) The PV trackers used in Applicable Project B are manufactured in the United States and have seven categories of Manufactured Product Compo- nents (torque tubes, fasteners, slew drives, dampers, motor, controllers, and rails) of which a portion of the torque tubes are manufactured in the United States. The PV trackers are associated and directly integrated with all the PV modules used in Applica- ble Project B. The torque tubes manufactured in the United States are the only torque tubes associated and directly integrated with 80 MWdc of Applicable Project B’s PV modules. The remainder of torque tubes and other PV tracker components are not man- ufactured in the United States. The PV trackers are Non-U.S. Manufactured Products because some of their Manufactured Product Components are not pro- duced in the United States. (f) Applicable Project B’s steel or iron products identified in Table 1 of this notice meet the Steel or Iron Requirement. Table 1 of this notice iden- tifies the torque tube Manufactured Product Com- ponent of a PV tracker as constituting 9.7% of the total cost of manufactured products for this type of Applicable Project. Table 1 of this notice iden- tifies the Manufactured Product Components of a PV module as constituting 54.8% (36.9% + 5.3% + 3.7% + 2.2% + 3.7% + 1.6% + 0.2% + 0.2% + 0.2% + 0.4% + 0.4%) of the total cost of Manufac- tured Products for an Applicable Project that is a ground-mounted PV (tracker). In addition to these costs, Table 1 of this notice provides that the cost to produce PV modules for such an Applicable Project constitutes 11.5% of the total cost of Manufactured Products for such an Applicable Project. Based on a nameplate capacity weighted average of Applicable Project Component categories and Manufactured Product Component categories identified in Table 1 of this notice, the total Assigned Cost Percentage attributable to the PV modules of Applicable Proj- ect B would be calculated as: (54.8% + 11.5%) x 60 / 100 = 39.8%. Based on a nameplate capacity weighted average of Applicable Project Compo- nents associated with torque tubes, the Assigned Cost Percentage attributable to the torque tubes of Applicable Project B would be calculated as: 9.7% x 80 / 100 = 7.8%. Applicable Project B’s over- all Domestic Cost Percentage is: 39.8% + 7.8% = Bulletin No. 2024–24 1623 June 10, 2024 47.6%. Applicable Project B satisfies the Adjusted Percentage Rule because its Domestic Cost Per- centage of 47.6% exceeds the adjusted percentage that applies to Applicable Project B (40%). (4) Example 3. (a) Assume the same facts as in Example 2, except that the PV modules used in Applicable Proj- ect B do not include backrails, but instead include another Manufactured Product Component not men- tioned in Table 1 of this notice. In this case, the total Assigned Content Percentage associated with PV modules would be lowered by 5.3 percentage points. However, because all of the other components listed in Table 1 of this notice are in the PV modules and are manufactured in the United States, the PV mod- ules are still considered to have been manufactured in the United States. Any component not mentioned in Table 1 of this notice may not count toward satis- fying the Adjusted Percentage Rule. (b) The calculation of the new Assigned Cost Per- centage attributable to the PV modules of Applicable Project B is as follows: (54.8% - 5.3% + 11.5%) x 60 / 100 = 36.6%. The Assigned Cost Percentage attributable to the torque tubes of Applicable Project B is 7.8%. Applicable Project B’s overall Domestic Cost Percentage is 36.6% + 7.8% = 44.4%. The proj- ect satisfies the Adjusted Percentage Rule because its Domestic Cost Percentage of 44.4% exceeds the adjusted percentage that applies to Applicable Proj- ect B (40%). (5) Example 4. (a) Assume the same facts as in Example 2, except that the § 48 energy project (Applicable Proj- ect C) also includes a 240 MWh grid-scale BESS. The grid-scale BESS is comprised of four categories of Applicable Project Components identified in Table 1 of this notice: battery packs, battery inverters, bat- tery container/housing, and steel rebar in foundation. (b) In accordance with Table 1 of this notice, Taxpayer identifies the steel rebar in foundation as steel or iron products and the battery pack, battery inverters, and battery container/housing as Manufac- tured Products. (c) All of the steel rebar in foundation is man- ufactured in the United States and meets the Steel or Iron Requirement. The battery packs and battery container/housing are manufactured in the United States and all their Manufactured Product Compo- nents, as identified in accordance with Table 1 of this notice, are manufactured in the United States, except for the battery packs’ cells. The battery container/ housing is a U.S. Manufactured Product and the bat- tery packs are Non-U.S. Manufactured Products with U.S. Components. (d) None of the battery inverters or their compo- nents were manufactured in the United States. All of the inverters are therefore Non-U.S. Manufactured Products and the components of the inverters are not U.S. Components. (e) Taxpayer elects to use the New Elective Safe Harbor to qualify for the domestic content bonus credit amounts under § 48. All of Applicable Proj- ect C’s steel or iron products identified in Table 1 of this notice meet the Steel or Iron Requirement. The solar PV portion of Applicable Project C has an Assigned Cost Percentage of 47.6%, as calculated in Example 2. Table 1 of this notice identifies the non- cell Manufactured Product Components of a battery pack as constituting 13.4% of the total cost of Man- ufactured Products within a grid-scale BESS. Table 1 of this notice identifies the Manufactured Product Component of a battery container/housing as con- stituting 15.8% of the total cost of Manufactured Products within a grid-scale BESS. Table 1 of this notice also identifies the cost to produce battery con- tainers/housings for a grid-scale BESS (Production) as constituting 6.5% of the total cost of Manufac- tured Products within a grid-scale BESS. The BESS portion of Applicable Project C has a total Assigned Cost Percentage of 35.7% (13.4% + 15.8% + 6.5%). (f) The overall Domestic Cost Percentage of Applicable Project C, comprising the 100 MWdc PV system and 240 megawatt-hours BESS, is calculated based on application of the relative capacities of each portion of the Applicable Project and the appropriate BESS Multiplier from section 4.05 of this notice, as follows: (47.6% x 100 + 35.7% x 240 x 0.57) / (100 + 240 x 0.57) = 40.7%. Applicable Project C satisfies the Adjusted Percentage Rule because its overall Domestic Cost Percentage of 40.7% exceeds the adjusted percentage that applies to Applicable Project C (40%). (6) Example 5. (a) In taxable year 2024, Taxpayer purchases a 10-kilowatt direct current (kWdc) rooftop PV solar system with a DC optimized inverter system (Appli- cable Project D) from Contractor under an EPC con- tract and places the project in service. Applicable Project D is an energy project for purposes of section 48 that is comprised of three categories of Applicable Project Components identified in Table 1 of this notice for a rooftop PV (MLPE): PV modules, DC optimized inverter system, and non-steel roof racking. (b) The non-steel roof racking used in Applicable Project D is manufactured in the United States and has two categories of Manufactured Product Com- ponents (fasteners and rails) of which only the rails are manufactured in the United States. The non-steel roof racking is a Non-U.S. Manufactured Product because some of its Manufactured Product Compo- nents are not produced in the United States. (c) Applicable Project D uses PV modules man- ufactured in the United States, of which only the PV cells are manufactured in the United States. The PV modules are Non-U.S. Manufactured Products because some of their Manufactured Product Com- ponents are not produced in the United States. (d) Applicable Project D uses a DC optimized inverter system. The inverter and the DC optimizers are manufactured in the United States. The inverter uses printed circuit board assemblies produced in the United States; the DC optimizers use printed circuit board assemblies not produced in the United States. (e) Taxpayer makes a valid election to use the New Elective Safe Harbor to qualify for the domestic content bonus credit amount under § 48. The PV cells in Applicable Project D are U.S. Components of the PV module. Table 1 of this notice identifies the PV cell Manufactured Product Component of a PV module as constituting 21.5% of the total cost of manufactured products for this type of Applicable Project. The rails in Applicable Project D are U.S. Components of the non-steel roof racking. Table 1 of this notice identifies the rails as constituting 8.6% of the total cost of manu- factured products for this type of Applicable Proj- ect. The printed circuit board assemblies in Project D are both U.S. Components and Manufactured Product Components that are not produced in the United States of a DC optimized inverter system. Table 1 of this notice identifies the printed circuit board assemblies of an inverter as constituting 16.0% of the total cost of manufactured products for this type of Applicable Project. However, the individual printed circuit board assemblies do not have nameplate capacities and cannot be separated into exclusively foreign and exclusively domes- tic portions using the nameplate capacity of the associated Applicable Project Components with nameplate capacities with which they are directly integrated. Therefore, Applicable Project D cannot receive any credit for the domestically produced printed circuit board assemblies under the New Elective Safe Harbor. (f) Applicable Project D’s overall Domestic Cost Percentage is: 21.5% + 8.6%= 30.1%. Applicable Project D does not satisfy the Adjusted Percentage Rule because its Domestic Cost Percentage of 30.1% is below the adjusted percentage that applies to Applicable Project D (40%). .08 Certification. An Applicable Proj- ect is eligible for a domestic content bonus credit amount if the Applicable Project sat- isfies the Domestic Content Requirement and the taxpayer timely submits to the IRS the certification described in section 5 of Notice 2023-38. To affirmatively elect to rely on the New Elective Safe Harbor, a taxpayer must provide on the Domestic Content Certification Statement described in section 5.01(2)(c) of Notice 2023-38 a statement that the taxpayer is relying on the New Elective Safe Harbor. As provided in section 5.01(2)(b) of Notice 2023-38, the Domestic Content Certifica- tion Statement must be attached to Form 8835, Renewable Electricity Product Credit; Form 3468, Investment Credit; or other applicable form for reporting domestic content bonus credit amounts under §§ 45, 45Y, 48, or 48E filed with the taxpayer’s annual return submitted to the IRS for the first taxable year in which the taxpayer reports a domestic content bonus credit amount for such Applicable Project. SECTION 5. SUBSTANTIATION A taxpayer reporting a domestic content bonus credit amount for meet- ing the Domestic Content Requirement must meet the general recordkeeping requirements under § 6001 in order to substantiate that the Domestic Content Requirement has been met. Section 6001 provides that every person liable for any tax imposed by the Code, or for the col- lection thereof, must keep such records as the Secretary of the Treasury or her June 10, 2024 1624 Bulletin No. 2024–24 delegate may from time to time pre- scribe. Section 1.6001-1(a) provides that any person subject to income tax must keep such permanent books of account or records as are sufficient to establish the amount of gross income, deductions, credits, or other matters required to be shown by such person in any return of such tax. Section 1.6001-1(e) provides that the books and records required by § 1.6001-1 must be retained so long as the contents thereof may become mate- rial in the administration of any internal revenue law. See also §§ 45(b)(12), 48(a) (16), 48E(a)(3)(B) (by cross-reference to § 48(a)(12)), and 45Y(f). SECTION 6.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background I. In General This document contains proposed amendments to 26 CFR part 1 under sec- tions 643(i), 679, 6039F, 6048, and 6677 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) (the proposed regulations). Section 6048, as significantly modified by the Small Busi- ness Job Protection Act of 1996 (1996 Act), Public Law 104-188 (110 Stat. 1755), and further amended by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (1997 Act), Public Law 105- 34 (111 Stat. 788), and the Hiring Incen- tives to Restore Employment Act (HIRE Act), Public Law 111-147 (124 Stat. 71), generally requires U.S. persons to report transactions that involve foreign trusts. Section 6677, as significantly modified by the 1996 Act and further amended by the HIRE Act, imposes penalties on U.S. persons for failing to comply with section 6048. Section 6039F, which was added to the Code by the 1996 Act, and modified by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Public Law 115-97 (131 Stat. 2054), requires U.S. persons to report the receipt of large gifts or bequests from foreign persons, and in the event of a failure to provide this infor- mation, section 6039F(c) imposes penal- ties and allows the IRS to recharacterize the purported gift or bequest as income. Section 643(i), which was added to the Code by the 1996 Act and amended by the HIRE Act, and section 679, as amended by the 1996 Act and the HIRE Act, pro- vide additional rules intended to prevent taxpayers from avoiding U.S. income tax consequences through the use of foreign trusts. On June 2, 1997, the Treasury Depart- ment and the IRS issued Notice 97-34, 1997-1 CB 422, which provides guidance on sections 643(i), 679, 6039F, 6048 and 6677 (the foreign trust and gift provisions) as enacted or modified by the 1996 Act. On August 7, 2000, the Treasury Depart- ment and the IRS published a notice of proposed rulemaking and a notice of pub- lic hearing (REG-209038-89) under sec- tion 679 in the Federal Register (65 FR 48185). On July 20, 2001, the Treasury Department and the IRS published final regulations under section 679. TD 8955 (66 FR 37866). U.S. persons currently provide infor- mation required by the foreign trust and gift provisions on Form 3520, Annual Return to Report Transactions With For- eign Trusts and Receipt of Certain Foreign Gifts, and Form 3520-A, Annual Informa- tion Return of Foreign Trust With a U.S. Owner (Under section 6048(b)). In 2015, section 2006(b)(9) and (10) of the Surface Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice Improvement Act of 2015 (Sur- face Transportation Act), Public Law 114- 41 (129 Stat. 443), modified the due dates for Forms 3520 and 3520-A for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2015. On March 16, 2020, the Treasury Depart- ment and the IRS issued Revenue Proce- dure 2020-17, 2020-12 IRB 539, which exempts from section 6048 information reporting requirements certain U.S. indi- viduals’ transactions with, and ownership of, certain tax-favored foreign trusts that are established and operated exclusively or almost exclusively to provide pension or retirement benefits, or to provide medi- cal, disability, or educational benefits. II. Purpose of Foreign Trust and Gift Provisions During the mid- to late-1990s, abusive tax schemes, including offshore schemes involving foreign trusts, reemerged in the United States after last peaking in the 1980s. GAO, Efforts to Identify and Com- bat Abusive Tax Schemes Have Increased, But Challenges Remain, GAO-02-733 (Washington D.C.: May 22, 2002). In these schemes, foreign trusts were used to transfer large amounts of assets off- shore, where it was much more difficult for the IRS to identify whether U.S. per- sons owned an interest in such trusts, and whether such persons were reporting and paying the required taxes on their income from such trusts. Many of the foreign trusts were established in tax haven juris- dictions with bank secrecy laws. Before the 1996 Act amended sections 6048 and 6677, there was no requirement for U.S. persons to report distributions from for- eign trusts, and the penalty for failing to report transfers to a foreign trust, or an annual foreign trust information return (on Form 3520-A), was limited to five percent of the transfer or trust corpus, as applicable, not to exceed $1,000. Given that, it was difficult for the IRS to obtain information about income earned by U.S.- owned foreign trusts and distributions to U.S. beneficiaries of foreign trusts, and sections 6048 and 6677 were generally ineffective at ensuring that U.S. persons provided this information. The result was “rampant tax avoidance.” 141 Cong. Rec. S13859 (daily ed. Sept. 19, 1995) (remarks of Senator Moynihan). The foreign trust and gift provisions in the 1996 Act were designed to accommo- date changes in the use of foreign trusts June 10, 2024 1626 Bulletin No. 2024–24 and to limit avoidance and evasion of U.S. tax. The most significant changes were made to sections 6048 and 6677 to enhance the IRS’s ability to obtain the information necessary to enforce the tax laws that apply to U.S. persons’ transactions with, and ownership of, foreign trusts. Other changes included enactment of new sec- tion 643(i) and amendments to section 679, each of which is designed to prevent tax avoidance through the use of foreign trusts. In addition, the legislation included new section 6039F, which enables the IRS to obtain information about large foreign gifts or bequests received by U.S. persons. III. Overview A. Section 643(i) Section 643(i), as originally enacted in 1996, generally provides that, if a foreign trust makes a loan of cash or marketable securities directly or indirectly to any grantor or beneficiary of the foreign trust who is a U.S. person (other than an entity that is exempt from tax under Chapter 1 of the Code), or to a U.S. person related (under sections 267 and 707(b)) to such a grantor or beneficiary, the amount of the loan is treated as a distribution by the trust to the grantor or beneficiary. Section 643(i) also authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations providing exceptions, under which a loan by a foreign trust would not be treated as a distribution to the grantor or beneficiary of the trust. The 1996 Act’s legislative history explains that these reg- ulations are expected to provide an excep- tion under section 643(i) for loans with arm’s-length terms, and in applying this exception, the regulations should consider whether there is a reasonable expectation that the grantor, beneficiary, or related person would repay the loan. H.R. Conf. Rep. No. 737, 104 th Cong., 2d Sess., at 334 (1996). Section V.A of Notice 97-34 provides that a loan of cash or marketable securities by a foreign trust to a U.S. grantor or U.S. beneficiary of the trust, or to a U.S. person who is related to a U.S. grantor or U.S. beneficiary of the trust, is treated as a dis- tribution under section 643(i) unless the loan is made in consideration for a qual- ified obligation that satisfies certain spec- ified requirements. Notice 97-34 states that what constitutes a qualified obligation will be provided in regulations. (Section III.C of Notice 97-34 provides similar qualified obligation rules for transfers to foreign trusts. See section III.B of this Background.) In 2010, Congress expanded the scope of section 643(i) in response to con- cerns that U.S. persons were avoiding the application of section 643(i) by using trust property other than cash or market- able securities without compensating the foreign trust for the use of the property. Section 533 of the HIRE Act amended section 643(i) to provide that any uncom- pensated use of trust property by a U.S. grantor or U.S. beneficiary of the foreign trust, or any U.S. person related to such U.S. grantor or U.S. beneficiary, generally is treated as a distribution of the fair mar- ket value of the use of such property to the U.S. grantor or U.S. beneficiary. This rule does not apply if the foreign trust is paid fair market value for the use of the trust property within a reasonable timeframe. Loans and use of trust property are reported on Part III of Form 3520. Tax- payers provide this information based on guidance in section V.A of Notice 97-34, as well as the instructions for Form 3520. This information allows the IRS to deter- mine whether the loan or use of trust prop- erty should be treated as a distribution pursuant to section 643(i). B. Section 679 1. 1976 Act Section 679 was enacted by the Tax Reform Act of 1976 (1976 Act), Public Law 94-455 (90 Stat. 1520). Section 679 treats a U.S. person who directly or indi- rectly transfers property to a foreign trust as the owner of the portion of the foreign trust attributable to the transferred prop- erty to the extent that, under the terms of the trust, the income or corpus of the trust may be paid to or accumulated for the benefit of a U.S. person during the taxable year, including if the trust were to be ter- minated during the taxable year. 2. 1996 Act Amendments Section 1903 of the 1996 Act made several important changes to section 679. For example, Congress was concerned that taxpayers were attempting to avoid the application of section 679(a)(1) by transferring property to a foreign trust in exchange for obligations from the foreign trust that might not be repaid and argu- ing that such obligations satisfied the fair market value exception in section 679(a) (2). H.R. Conf. Rep. No. 737, 104 th Cong., 2d Sess., at 334-35 (1996). The fair mar- ket value exception provides that section 679(a)(1) does not apply to any transfer of property to a foreign trust in exchange for consideration of at least the fair market value of the transferred property. Accord- ingly, Congress added new section 679(a) (3), which generally provides that obliga- tions issued by the foreign trust, by any grantor or beneficiary of the trust, or by any person related to any grantor or ben- eficiary, are not taken into account in applying the fair market value exception except as provided in regulations. Section III.C of Notice 97-34 imple- mented the fair market value exception of section 679(a)(2)(B) and (a)(3) by provid- ing that, if a U.S. person transfers money or other property to a related foreign trust in exchange for an obligation issued by the trust or by a person related to the trust, the obligation is taken into account for purposes of determining whether the U.S. person received fair market value from the foreign trust only if the obligation is a qualified obligation that satisfies certain specified requirements. (Section V.A of Notice 97-34 provides similar qualified obligation rules that apply with respect to loans from foreign trusts under section 643(i). See section III.A of this Back- ground.) In 2001, the Treasury Depart- ment and the IRS issued final regulations under section 679 in TD 8955 (66 FR 37886) that included the section 679 qual- ified obligation rules described in Notice 97-34. See §1.679-4(d). A U.S. person’s transfers to a foreign trust are reported on Part I of Form 3520, together with information about any qual- ified obligations received from the trust. Taxpayers provide this information based on the final regulations under section 679, as well as the instructions for Form 3520. This information allows the IRS to deter- mine whether the U.S. person should be treated as an owner of the foreign trust under section 679. Bulletin No. 2024–24 1627 June 10, 2024 3. HIRE Act Amendments In 2010, the HIRE Act made five amendments to section 679, three of which are consistent with the final regula- tions under section 679, and two of which set forth new rules not reflected in the final regulations. First, section 531(a) of the HIRE Act added new language to section 679(c) (1) to clarify that an amount is treated as accumulated for the benefit of a U.S. person even if the U.S. person’s inter- est in the foreign trust is contingent on a future event. This statutory amendment is consistent with §1.679-2(a)(2)(i), which states that the determination as to whether income or corpus may be paid to or accu- mulated for the benefit of a U.S. person is made without regard to whether the income or corpus actually is distributed to the U.S. person during the year, or whether the U.S. person’s interest in the income or corpus of the trust is contingent on a future event. Second, section 531(b) of the HIRE Act added a new paragraph (4) to section 679(c) to clarify that, if any person has the discretion to make a distribution from the foreign trust to or for the benefit of any person, the trust shall be treated as hav- ing a U.S. beneficiary unless the terms of the trust specifically identify the class of persons to whom such distributions may be made, and none of those persons are U.S. persons during the taxable year. This statutory amendment is consistent with §1.679-2(a)(1), which provides that a for- eign trust is treated as having a U.S. bene- ficiary unless no part of the trust’s income or corpus may be paid or accumulated to or for the benefit of a U.S. person, and if the trust is terminated at any time during the taxable year, no part of the trust’s income or corpus could be paid to or for the benefit of a U.S. person. Third, section 531(c) of the HIRE Act added a new paragraph (5) to section 679(c) to clarify that, if any U.S. person who directly or indirectly transfers prop- erty to a foreign trust is directly or indi- rectly involved in any agreement or under- standing that may result in the income or corpus of the trust being paid to or accu- mulated for the benefit of a U.S. person, then such an agreement or understanding shall be treated as constituting a term of the trust. This statutory amendment is consis- tent with §1.679-2(a)(4)(i), which, assum- ing that a transferor of property to a trust is generally directly or indirectly involved with any agreements regarding the accu- mulation or disposition of the income and corpus of the trust, allows the IRS to treat a foreign trust as having a U.S. benefi- ciary by looking beyond the language of the trust instrument to all written and oral agreements and understandings related to the trust, memoranda or letters of wishes, all records that relate to the actual distri- bution of income and corpus, and all other documents relating to the trust, whether or not of any purported legal effect. Fourth, section 532 of the HIRE Act added a new paragraph (d) to section 679, which provides a presumption that a for- eign trust has a U.S. beneficiary in certain circumstances. If a U.S. person directly or indirectly transfers property to a foreign trust (other than certain compensatory and charitable trusts), the IRS may treat the trust as having a U.S. beneficiary for purposes of applying section 679 to the transfer unless the U.S. person submits such information to the IRS as the IRS may require and demonstrates to the sat- isfaction of the IRS that the trust satisfies the requirements of section 679(c)(1). Finally, section 533(c) of the HIRE Act added a new paragraph (6) to section 679(c), which generally treats a loan of cash or marketable securities to, or the use of any other trust property by, any U.S. person, whether or not a beneficiary under the terms of the trust, as paid to or accumulated for the benefit of a U.S. per- son. Section 679(c)(6) does not apply to the extent that the U.S. person repays the loan at a market rate of interest or pays the fair market value of the use of the prop- erty within a reasonable period of time. The effect of section 679(c)(6) is that, if a foreign trust is not already treated as hav- ing a U.S. beneficiary, a loan by the trust of cash or marketable securities to a U.S. person or the uncompensated use of trust property by a U.S. person may cause the foreign trust to be treated as having a U.S. beneficiary, with the result that a U.S. per- son who transferred property to the trust may be treated as the owner of the trust under section 679(a). Final regulations were issued under section 679 in 2001, and although instruc- tions for Form 3520 and Form 3520-A have been updated to take into account the HIRE Act amendments to section 679, regulations implementing these amend- ments have not been issued. C. Section 6039F Section 1905 of the 1996 Act created new reporting requirements under section 6039F for U.S. persons (other than certain exempt organizations) that receive large gifts (including bequests) from foreign persons. The new information reporting provisions require U.S. persons to pro- vide information concerning the receipt of large amounts that they treat as for- eign gifts or bequests, giving the IRS an opportunity to review the characterization of these payments and determine whether they are properly treated as gifts. Section 6039F(b) generally defines the term foreign gift as any amount received from a person other than a U.S. person that the recipient treats as a gift or bequest. However, a foreign gift does not include a qualified transfer (within the meaning of section 2503(e)(2)) or a distribution from a foreign trust. A distribution from a foreign trust must be reported as a dis- tribution under section 6048(c) (discussed in section III.E of this Background) rather than as a gift under section 6039F. Section 6039F(c) provides that, if a U.S. person fails, without reasonable cause, to report a foreign gift as required by section 6039F, then (i) the tax consequences of the receipt of the gift will be determined by the Secretary and (ii) the U.S. person will be subject to a penalty equal to 5 percent of the amount of the gift for each month the failure to report the foreign gift continues, with the total penalty not to exceed 25 per- cent of the value of the gift. Under sections 6039F(a) and (d), reporting is required if the value of the aggregate foreign gifts received by a U.S. person during any tax- able year exceeds $10,000, as modified by cost-of-living adjustments. Under section VI.B.1 of Notice 97-34, however, a U.S. person is required to report gifts from a foreign individual or foreign estate only if the aggregate amount of gifts from that foreign individual or foreign estate exceeds $100,000 during the U.S. person’s taxable year. Section VI.B.3 of Notice 97-34 pro- vides guidance on when a U.S. person must June 10, 2024 1628 Bulletin No. 2024–24 aggregate foreign gifts received from for- eign persons that the U.S. person knows or has reason to know are related to each other. Once the $100,000 threshold has been met, the U.S. person must identify each foreign gift in excess of $5,000 but is not required to identify the transferor. A U.S. person who receives foreign gifts that exceed the threshold amounts must report the foreign gifts on Part IV of Form 3520. Taxpayers provide this infor- mation based on guidance in section VI of Notice 97-34, as well as the instructions for Form 3520. D. Section 6048 Section 6048(a) through (c) contains three distinct reporting obligations with respect to a U.S. person’s transactions with, and ownership of, foreign trusts. 1. Section 6048(a) Section 6048(a) generally requires a responsible party to file information returns upon the occurrence of certain reportable events. A responsible party is the U.S. grantor of an inter vivos foreign trust, the U.S. transferor, or the executor of a U.S. decedent’s estate. A reportable event is (a) the creation of any foreign trust by a U.S. person; (b) the direct or indirect transfer of any money or property to a foreign trust by a U.S. person, including a transfer by reason of death; or (c) the death of a U.S. citizen or resident if the decedent was treated as the owner of any portion of a foreign trust or if any portion of a foreign trust was included in the gross estate of the decedent. Section 6048(a)(3)(B)(i) provides an exception for transfers for fair market value the fair mar- ket value exception, and section 6048(a)(3) (B)(ii) provides an exception for transfers to certain deferred compensation and char- itable trusts. (These exceptions correspond to the current substantive exemptions to the scope of section 679. See section 679(a)(1) and (2)(B).) A reportable event is reported on Part I of Form 3520. Section III of Notice 97-34 and the instructions for Form 3520 pro- vide information to taxpayers regarding this reporting. Section 6048(a) enables the IRS to obtain the information necessary to enforce sections 679 (discussed in section III.B of this Background) and 684 (added by section 1131(b) of the 1997 Act to pro- vide for recognition of gain on certain transfers to foreign trusts). 2. Section 6048(b) Section 6048(b)(1) generally requires a U.S. person who is treated as the owner of any portion of a foreign trust under the grantor trust rules (U.S. owner) to ensure that the trust (i) files an annual informa- tion return to provide a full accounting of all the trust activities for the trust’s taxable year and (ii) furnishes an annual information statement to each U.S. owner and to any other U.S. person who receives (directly or indirectly) any distribution from the trust during the year (U.S. bene- ficiary). In addition, the U.S. owner must submit such information as the IRS may prescribe with respect to the foreign trust. Section 6048(b)(2) provides that, unless a foreign trust with a U.S. owner appoints a U.S. agent, the Secretary may determine the amounts required to be taken into account with respect to such trust by the U.S. owner under the grantor trust rules. The U.S. agent will be required to act as the foreign trust’s limited agent solely for purposes of applying sections 7602, 7603, and 7604 with respect to any request or summons by the Secretary in connection with the tax treatment of any items related to the trust. Certain rules (similar to the rules of section 6038A(e) (2) and (4)) relating to the enforcement of requests for certain records with respect to foreign-owned corporations will apply. Information about the U.S. agent must be reported on both the U.S. owner’s Form 3520 and the foreign trust’s Form 3520-A. The foreign trust’s annual information return is Form 3520-A, and any additional information required to be submitted by the U.S. owner is provided on Part II of Form 3520. The information statements that the foreign trust must furnish to each U.S. owner and to each U.S. beneficiary who receives a distribution are the For- eign Grantor Trust Owner Statement and the Foreign Grantor Trust Beneficiary Statement, as applicable. Taxpayers pro- vide this information based on guidance in section IV of Notice 97-34, as well as the instructions for Form 3520 and Form 3520-A. If the foreign trust fails to file Form 3520-A, section 6677 imposes a penalty on the U.S. owner. In order to avoid penalties under section 6677, the U.S. owner must complete a substitute Form 3520-A for the foreign trust and attach it to the U.S. owner’s Form 3520. See instructions for Part II of Form 3520. 3. Section 6048(c) Section 6048(c)(1) provides that any U.S. person who directly or indirectly receives any distribution from a foreign trust is required to file an information return to report the name of the trust, the aggregate amount of the distributions received, and any other information that the Secretary may prescribe. Section 6048(c)(2) gener- ally provides that, if adequate records are not provided to the Secretary to determine the proper treatment of a distribution from a foreign trust, the distribution is treated as an accumulation distribution. However, to the extent provided in regulations, this rule does not apply if the foreign trust authorizes a U.S. person to act as its lim- ited agent under rules similar to the rules of section 6048(b)(2)(B) (discussed in sec- tion III.D.2 of this Background). Section 6048(d)(5) (discussed in section III.D.4 of this Background) provides that a U.S. person’s treatment of a distribution from a foreign trust must be consistent with the trust’s treatment of such item or the Secre- tary must be notified of the inconsistency. Distributions from a foreign trust are reported on Part III of Form 3520. Tax- payers provide this information based on guidance in section V of Notice 97-34, as well as the instructions for Form 3520. Section 6048(c) enables the IRS to obtain the information it needs to enforce the rules relating to the taxation of accumu- lation distributions (sections 665 through 669), as well as sections 672(f), 643(h), and 643(i). Section 6048(c) requires any U.S. person, including a U.S. owner and U.S. beneficiary of a foreign trust, who receives a distribution from a foreign trust to report information about the distribu- tion. See Wilson v. United States, 6 F.4 th 432 (2d Cir. 2021), rev’g, No. 19-CV-5037 (BMC), 2019 WL 6118013 (E.D.N.Y. Nov. 18, 2019) (holding that when an individual is both the sole owner and beneficiary of a foreign trust and fails to timely report distributions received from the trust, the IRS may impose a penalty Bulletin No. 2024–24 1629 June 10, 2024 under section 6677 equal to 35 percent of the gross reportable amount). 4. Section 6048(d) Section 6048(d)(1) provides that, for purposes of section 6048, in determining whether a U.S. person makes a transfer to, or receives a distribution from, a foreign trust, the fact that a portion of the trust is treated as owned by another person under the grantor trust rules is disregarded. Section 6048(d)(2) provides that, to the extent provided in regulations, a domestic trust will be treated as a foreign trust for purposes of sections 6048 and 6677 if the trust has substantial activities, or holds substantial property, outside the United States. The legislative history includes the statement “that in exercising its regulatory authority to treat a U.S. trust as a foreign trust for purposes of information reporting purposes, the Secretary of the Treasury will take into account the information that such a trust reported under the domestic trust reporting rules.” H.R. Conf. Rep. 737, 104 th Cong., 2d Sess. at 338 (1996). Section VIII.C of Notice 97-34 states that the Trea- sury Department and the IRS are studying the appropriate scope of section 6048(d)(2) and that, until further guidance is issued, a domestic trust is not treated as a foreign trust pursuant to section 6048(d)(2). Section 6048(d)(3) provides that any notice or return required under section 6048 is to be made at such time and in such manner as the Secretary prescribes. Section 6048(d)(4) authorizes the IRS to suspend or modify any requirement of section 6048 if the IRS determines that the United States has no significant tax inter- est in obtaining the required information. The Treasury Department and the IRS previously have issued guidance provid- ing that information reporting under sec- tion 6048(c) is not required with respect to distributions from certain foreign compensatory trusts, provided that the U.S. person who receives the distribution reports the distribution as compensation income on an applicable Federal income tax return, and that information reporting under section 6048(a) through (c) is not required with respect to certain Canadian retirement plans. See Section V of Notice 97-34; Rev. Proc. 2014-55, 2014-44 I.R.B. 753. In addition, on March 16, 2020, the Treasury Department and the IRS issued Revenue Procedure 2020-17, which exempts from section 6048 information reporting requirements certain U.S. indi- viduals’ transactions with, and ownership of, certain tax-favored foreign trusts that are established and operated exclusively or almost exclusively to provide pension or retirement benefits or to provide medi- cal, disability, or educational benefits. Section 6048(d)(5) (added by section 1027(b) of the 1997 Act) provides that a U.S. person who either is treated as an owner of any portion of a foreign trust or receives (directly or indirectly) any distri- bution from a foreign trust must treat any portion owned or any item distributed in a manner that is consistent with the trust’s treatment of such ownership or item; oth- erwise, the U.S. person must notify the Secretary of the inconsistency. A similar rule in section 6034A(c) (added by sec- tion 1027(a) of the 1997 Act) generally provides that a beneficiary of an estate or trust is required to file a return in a man- ner that is consistent with the information received from the estate or trust, unless the beneficiary files with the return a notifica- tion of inconsistent treatment identifying the inconsistency. The Treasury Depart- ment and the IRS are of the view that the rules in sections 6034A(c) and 6048(d)(5) are to be interpreted as comparable to the consistency rules that already apply to S corporation shareholders and partners in partnerships. H.R. Conf. Rep. 220, 105 th Cong., 1st Sess. at 551 (1997). Taxpayers may use Form 8082, Notice of Inconsistent Treatment or Administrative Adjustment Request (AAR), to report an inconsistency. Although regulations were issued under section 6048, these regulations now are obsolete because they were issued under an earlier version of section 6048. These regulations were removed as a result of regulations issued pursuant to Executive Order 13789. See TD 9849 (84 FR 9231). E. Section 6677 Under section 6677, as amended by section 1901(b) of the 1996 Act, a U.S. person who fails to file a required infor- mation return under section 6048(a) or (c) is subject to an initial penalty of 35 percent of the gross reportable amount (generally, the value of the property trans- ferred or received). If an information return required under section 6048(b) is not filed, the U.S. person who is treated as the owner of the foreign trust is subject to an initial penalty of five percent of the gross reportable amount (the trust corpus at the end of the year). See also Wilson v. United States, 6 F.4th 432 (2d Cir. 2021) (holding that gross reportable amount has multiple meanings under section 6677(c) that differ depending on the part of sec- tion 6048 that is violated), rev’g, No. 19-CV-5037 (BMC), 2019 WL 6118013 (E.D.N.Y. 2019). In all cases, if the failure to file an information return continues for more than 90 days after the day on which the IRS mails notification of the failure, an additional $10,000 penalty is imposed for each 30-day period (or fraction thereof) during which the failure continues. The total amount of the penalties with respect to any failure cannot exceed the gross reportable amount with respect to that failure. If the gross reportable amount is partially reported, then the penalties are applied based on the amount that is unre- ported. Section VII of Notice 97-34. Section 535 of the HIRE Act strength- ened the penalty structure by further amending section 6677 to allow the IRS to impose penalties when it does not have enough information to determine the gross reportable amount. Section 6677, as amended, provides that the initial pen- alty is the greater of $10,000 or 35 per- cent (five percent in the case of a failure to comply with section 6048(b)) of the gross reportable amount. Thus, the IRS may impose an initial penalty of $10,000 on a U.S. person who fails to report infor- mation without having any information about the foreign trust’s gross reportable amount. The amendment did not change the rules for the additional penalties of $10,000 for each 30-day period (or frac- tion thereof) during which the failure to report continues. Section 6677, as amended, also pro- vides that, if the IRS, after having assessed penalties, obtains sufficient information to determine the gross reportable amount, any subsequent penalty imposed will be reduced as necessary to ensure that the aggregate amount of the penalties does not exceed the gross reportable amount. To the extent that the amount already paid exceeds the gross reportable amount, the June 10, 2024 1630 Bulletin No. 2024–24 IRS will refund the excess to the U.S. per- son pursuant to section 6402. Section 6677(d) provides that no pen- alty will be imposed on any failure that is shown to be due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. It further provides that the fact that a foreign juris- diction would impose a civil or criminal penalty on the U.S. person (or any other person) for disclosing the required infor- mation is not reasonable cause. Section 6677(e) provides that subchap- ter B of chapter 63 (relating to deficiency procedures for income, estate, gift, and certain excise taxes) does not apply in respect of the assessment or collection of any penalty imposed under section 6677. F. Section 643(a)(7) Section 643(a)(7), which was added to the Code by section 1906(b) of the 1996 Act, provides that the Secretary shall pre- scribe such regulations as may be neces- sary or appropriate to carry out the pur- poses of part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code (sections 641 through 685), including regulations to prevent avoid- ance of such purposes. G. Information return due dates Section 2006(b) of the Surface Trans- portation Act provides that, in the case of returns for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2015, the Secretary, or the Secretary’s designee, shall modify the appropriate regulations addressing certain due dates. Section 2006(b)(9) provides that the due date of Form 3520-A shall be the 15th day of the third month after the close of the trust’s taxable year, and the maximum extension shall be a 6-month period beginning on such day. Section 2006(b)(10) states that the due date of Form 3520 for calendar year filers shall be April 15 with a maximum extension for a 6-month period ending on October 15. Explanation of Provisions I. Section 643(i) – Loans to and Uses of Foreign Trust Property by U.S. Persons These proposed regulations provide rules relating to loans from foreign trusts to U.S. persons and uses of foreign trust property by U.S. persons. They gener- ally incorporate the section 643(i) guid- ance that was provided in Notice 97-34 (discussed in section III.A of the Back- ground), with certain modifications to provide procedural rules, such as how to determine a loan’s yield to maturity and how to extend the period of assessment for any income tax associated with the loan, and anti-abuse rules, such as requiring payments and information reporting to be timely. In addition, the proposed regula- tions provide guidance implementing the HIRE Act amendments to section 643(i). A. Application of section 643(i) to loans by or uses of property of a foreign trust Proposed §1.643(i)-1 provides rules for determining when a loan of cash or marketable securities from a foreign non- grantor trust, made to a U.S. person who is either a grantor or beneficiary of the foreign trust or is related to a U.S. person who is a grantor or beneficiary of the for- eign trust, will be treated as a distribution under subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code (a section 643(i) distribution) to the U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the foreign trust. These rules also apply to determine whether a distribution is made when any such U.S. persons use the property of the foreign trust. These rules apply solely for purposes of subparts B, C, and D (sections 651- 652, 661-664, and 665-668) of part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code, and thus section 643(i) does not apply to a for- eign trust to the extent that it is a grantor trust described in subpart E (sections 671 through 679) of part I of subchapter J. Although section 643(i) applies to loans of cash or marketable securities from a for- eign trust to a U.S. grantor or a U.S. person related to a U.S. grantor, these provisions of section 643(i) predate the HIRE Act, which enacted section 679(c)(6). Under section 679, a U.S. person who trans- fers property to a foreign trust is treated as the owner of the portion of the trust attributable to the property transferred to the trust if there is a U.S. beneficiary of any portion of the trust, unless an excep- tion applies. Section 679(c)(6) provides that any direct or indirect loan of cash or marketable securities to a U.S. person, or direct or indirect use of any other trust property by a U.S. person, whether or not the U.S. person is a beneficiary under the terms of the trust, will be treated as paid to or accumulated for the benefit of a U.S. person, unless an exception applies (see proposed §1.679-2(a)(5)(iii)). That is, the U.S. person will be treated as a beneficiary of the foreign trust for purposes of section 679. In most circumstances, this causes the foreign trust to be a grantor trust under section 679, removing it from the purview of section 643(i). Section 643(i), there- fore, will rarely apply to a U.S. grantor or a U.S. person related to a U.S. grantor. It might apply, however, if the U.S. grantor created but did not make a transfer to the foreign trust. Proposed §1.643(i)-1(b)(1) provides that, unless an exception applies, any loan of cash or marketable securities made from a foreign trust (whether from trust corpus or income) directly or indirectly to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the trust or to any U.S. person related to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the trust is treated as a sec- tion 643(i) distribution to such U.S. grantor or beneficiary as of the date on which the loan is made. For these purposes, a loan to a grantor trust or to a disregarded entity is treated as a loan to the owner of the grantor trust or of the disregarded entity. For exam- ple, a loan to a single member LLC treated as a disregarded entity is treated as a loan to the owner of the LLC. Proposed §1.643(i)-1(b)(2)(i) describes indirect loans for purposes of section 643(i) to include loans made through an intermediary, agent, or nominee. Pro- posed §1.643(i)-1(b)(2)(i) also provides three examples of indirect loans: (1) a loan made by any person to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of a foreign trust or any U.S. person related to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary if the foreign trust guarantees (within the meaning of §1.679-3(e)(4)) the loan; (2) a loan made by any person related (within the meaning of proposed §1.643(i)-1(d)(9)) to the foreign trust to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the foreign trust or to a U.S. person related to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary; and (3) a loan made by a foreign trust to a foreign person, other than to a nonresident alien individual who is a grantor or beneficiary of the trust, if the foreign person is related (within the meaning of proposed §1.643(i)-1(d)(9)) to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the trust. Bulletin No. 2024–24 1631 June 10, 2024 See proposed §1.643(i)-1(b)(2)(i)(A) through (C). However, the loans described in examples (2) and (3) above are excepted from section 643(i) treatment if the U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the foreign trust satisfies the information reporting require- ments of proposed §1.6048-4 with respect to the loan and attaches to a Federal income tax return an explanatory state- ment that demonstrates to the satisfaction of the IRS that the loan would have been made without regard to the U.S. grantor’s or beneficiary’s relationship to the for- eign trust. See proposed §1.643(i)-1(b)(2) (ii). There is no such exception for a loan made by any person that is guaranteed (within the meaning of §1.679-3(e)(4)) by a foreign trust because a foreign trust is unlikely to guarantee such a loan absent its relationship with the U.S. grantor or beneficiary. Proposed §1.643(i)-1(b)(2)(iii) pro- vides that loans from a foreign trust to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary or U.S. person related to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary through an intermediary are treated as made directly from the foreign trust to the U.S. grantor or beneficiary or U.S. person related to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary. In order to discourage grantors and ben- eficiaries of a foreign trust from changing their U.S. residence in a particular year to avoid the application of section 643(i), proposed §1.643(i)-1(b)(3) provides an anti-abuse rule. If a nonresident alien who is a grantor or beneficiary of a foreign trust receives a loan from the foreign trust and becomes a U.S. person within two years, that grantor or beneficiary will be subject to section 643(i) with respect to the out- standing amount of the loan as of the date the grantor or beneficiary acquires U.S. residence or citizenship if the loan was not a qualified obligation as of the date that it was made. Proposed §1.643(i)-1(c) provides that any direct or indirect use of other prop- erty of a foreign trust by a U.S. grantor or beneficiary or any U.S. person related to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary is treated as a section 643(i) distribution to the U.S. grantor or beneficiary in the taxable year in which the use occurs. Use of property of a foreign trust by a grantor trust or a disregarded entity is treated as use by the owner of the grantor trust or of the dis- regarded entity. For example, use of trust property by a single member LLC treated as a disregarded entity would be treated as use by the owner of the LLC. Proposed §1.643(i)-1(c)(2)(i) describes indirect use of trust property to include use by an agent or nominee. Indirect use of trust property also includes use by a foreign person, other than a nonresident alien individual who is a beneficiary of the foreign trust, if the foreign person is related to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the trust, unless the U.S. grantor or ben- eficiary reports the use of trust property on Part III of Form 3520, as required by proposed §1.6048-4, and attaches to the U.S. grantor’s or beneficiary’s Federal income tax return an explanatory state- ment that demonstrates to the satisfaction of the IRS that the use of trust property would have been made without regard to the U.S. grantor’s or beneficiary’s rela- tionship to the foreign trust. See proposed §1.643(i)-1(c)(2). B. Exceptions Proposed §1.643(i)-2(a) provides four exceptions to the general rule of proposed §1.643(i)-1(b)(1): First, the general rule will not apply to any loan of cash in exchange for a qualified obligation within the meaning of proposed §1.643(i)-2(b)(2)(iii). The proposed regulations do not provide an exception from the general rule for loans of marketable securities as such a rule would be more difficult to apply, and it is less likely that a foreign trust would make a loan of marketable securities. The Treasury Department and the IRS request comments on whether qualified obligation rules are needed for loans of marketable securities. Second, in the case of a use of trust property other than a loan of cash or mar- ketable securities, the general rule will not apply to the extent that the foreign trust receives the fair market value of such use within a reasonable period (described in proposed §1.643(i)-2(a)(2)(ii) as 60 days or less) from the start of the use of the trust property. The fair market value of the use will be based on all the facts and circum- stances, including the type of property used and the period of use. Third, the general rule will not apply to any de minimis use of trust property (described in proposed §1.643(i)-2(a)(3) as aggregate use by members of a group consisting of the U.S. grantors and ben- eficiaries and the U.S. persons related to them for a total of 14 days or less during the taxable year), other than a loan of cash or marketable securities, by a U.S. grantor or beneficiary or a U.S. person related to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary. Fourth, the general rule will not apply to a loan of cash that is made by a foreign corporation to a U.S. beneficiary of the foreign trust to the extent the aggregate amount of all such loans to the benefi- ciary does not exceed undistributed earn- ings and profits of the foreign corporation attributable to amounts that are, or have been, included in the beneficiary’s gross income under section 951, 951A, or 1293. This exception is intended to prevent dou- ble taxation that could result by reason of the application of section 643(i) to an amount that has already been included in the U.S. beneficiary’s gross income as a subpart F income inclusion, a global intangible low-taxed income inclusion, an inclusion by reason of a controlled foreign corporation’s investment of earn- ings in United States property, or a quali- fied electing fund inclusion. The Treasury Department and the IRS request com- ments on whether the scope of the excep- tion is appropriate, and whether ordering rules to determine the sourcing of loan amounts, for example, rules based on the principles of section 959 or similar to the provisions of §1.672(f)-4(c)(3), or other clarifications on the exception’s applica- tion, are necessary. C. Qualified obligations Proposed §1.643(i)-2(b) provides rules for determining whether a loan of cash is made in exchange for a quali- fied obligation. Proposed §1.643(i)-2(b) (2) defines the terms obligor, obligation, and qualified obligation. The definitions of obligation and qualified obligation are consistent with the amended definitions of obligation and qualified obligation in proposed §1.679-1(c)(6) and §1.679-4(d), respectively. The term obligor means a person who issues an obligation (within the meaning of proposed §1.643(i)-2(b) (2)(i)) to a foreign trust in exchange for a loan of cash. The term obligation means June 10, 2024 1632 Bulletin No. 2024–24 any instrument or contractual arrange- ment that constitutes indebtedness under general principles of Federal income tax law (for example, a bond, note, deben- ture, certificate, bill receivable, account receivable, note receivable, open account, or other evidence of indebtedness), and an annuity contract that would not other- wise be classified as indebtedness under general principles of Federal income tax law. Under proposed §1.643(i)-2(b)(2)(iii) (A), the term qualified obligation means an obligation that satisfies all of the fol- lowing requirements: First, the obligation must be in writing. Second, the term of the obligation must not exceed five years. Third, all payments on the obligation must be made in cash in U.S. dollars. The Treasury Department and the IRS stress this requirement to make all payments in cash in U.S. dollars, in light of abusive transactions in which taxpayers have used an inflated valuation of in-kind property to purportedly repay an obligation. Fourth, the obligation must be issued at par and must provide for stated interest at a fixed rate or a qualified floating rate within the meaning of §1.1275-5(b). Fifth, the yield to maturity must be not less than 100 percent and not greater than 130 percent of the applicable Federal rate in effect under section 1274(d) on the day on which the obligation is issued. The yield to maturity and the applicable Fed- eral rate must be based on the same com- pounding period. If an obligation is a vari- able rate debt instrument that provides for stated interest at a qualified floating rate, the rules in §§1.1274-2(f)(1) and 1.1275- 5(e) apply to determine the obligation’s yield to maturity. Sixth, all stated interest on the obli- gation must be qualified stated interest within the meaning of §1.1273-1(c). In addition to these six initial require- ments, for both the first year and each succeeding year in which the obligation remains outstanding, the three require- ments of proposed §1.643(i)-2(b)(2)(iii) (B) must be satisfied in order for the obli- gation to remain a qualified obligation. First, the U.S. grantor or beneficiary (as the person who would be subject to income tax if an obligation either is not a qualified obligation or ceases to be a qualified obli- gation) must extend the period for assess- ment on Part III of Form 3520 (under rules described in proposed §1.643(i)-2(b)(2) (iii)(B)(1)) of any income tax attributable to the loan and any consequent income tax changes for each year that the obligation is outstanding to a date not earlier than three years after the maturity date of the obligation issued in consideration for the loan. Second, the U.S. grantor or bene- ficiary must report the status of the obli- gation, including any payments made, on Part III of Form 3520. Third, the obligor must make all payments of principal and interest on the obligation according to the terms of the obligation. Proposed §1.643(i)-2(b)(3) provides that, if the terms of the obligation are modified and the modification is treated as an exchange under §1.1001-3, the new obligation that is deemed issued in the exchange under §1.1001-3 must satisfy the requirements in proposed §1.643(i)-2(b) (2)(iii) to be a qualified obligation using the original obligation’s issue date. If the modification is not treated as an exchange under §1.1001-3, then the obligation is retested as of the date of the modification to determine whether the obligation, as modified, continues to satisfy the require- ments to be a qualified obligation. Proposed §1.643(i)-2(b)(4) provides that if, while the obligation is outstand- ing, the U.S. obligor directly or indirectly issues another obligation to the foreign trust in exchange for cash, the outstanding obligation is deemed to have the matu- rity date of the new obligation for pur- poses of determining whether the term of the outstanding obligation exceeds five years. The outstanding obligation must be retested as of the issue date of the new obligation to determine whether the outstanding obligation continues to be a qualified obligation. The new obligation also must be separately tested to see if it satisfies the requirements to be a qualified obligation. Proposed §1.643(i)-2(b)(5) provides that the IRS may treat two or more obliga- tions issued by a U.S. obligor as a single obligation that is not a qualified obligation if they are structured with a principal pur- pose to avoid the application of section 643(i). Proposed §1.643(i)-2(b)(6) provides that, if a qualified obligation ceases to be a qualified obligation (for example, because a modification causes the term of the obligation to exceed five years), the U.S. grantor or beneficiary is treated as receiv- ing a section 643(i) distribution from the foreign trust. In general, the amount of the section 643(i) distribution is the obligation’s outstanding stated principal amount plus any accrued but unpaid qual- ified stated interest (within the meaning of §1.1273-1(c)) as of the date of the event that causes the obligation to no longer be a qualified obligation. If the IRS treats two or more obligations as a single obligation that is not a qualified obligation under pro- posed §1.643(i)-2(b)(5), then the amount of the section 643(i) distribution will not exceed the sum of the outstanding stated principal amounts of the obligations plus any accrued but unpaid qualified stated interest as of the date determined by the IRS. D. Trust property attributable to nongrantor trust portion Proposed §1.643(i)-2(c) provides rules for determining the extent to which a loan or use of trust property from a par- tial nongrantor trust will be attributable to the nongrantor trust portion. Generally, a loan or use of trust property from a partial nongrantor trust must be apportioned in a manner that is reasonable based on all the facts and circumstances, including the terms of the governing instrument, local law, and the practice of the trustee, if it is reasonable and consistent. However, if a loan or use of trust property can be made from only one portion of the foreign trust because the type of property loaned or used is held only by that portion, then the loan or use of property is attributable to that portion. E. Reporting The Treasury Department and the IRS are of the view that it is appropri- ate to require reporting, pursuant to the authority granted to the Treasury Depart- ment and the IRS by section 643(a)(7), of all loans and uses of trust property that are potentially subject to section 643(i), in order to ensure that the IRS has the information necessary to enforce taxpayer compliance with these rules. Thus, proposed §1.643(i)-2(d) provides Bulletin No. 2024–24 1633 June 10, 2024 that any loan of cash or marketable secu- rities by a foreign trust to a U.S. person and any use by a U.S. person of prop- erty belonging to a foreign trust, with- out regard to whether such loan or use of property is treated as a section 643(i) distribution, also is a distribution within the meaning of proposed §1.6048-4(b) and subject to the information reporting described under proposed §1.6048-4(a). See proposed §1.6048-4(b)(3)(ii) and (iii) and (b)(4)(ii) and (iii). F. Amount treated as section 643(i) distribution Proposed §1.643(i)-3(a) provides rules for determining the amount that is treated as a section 643(i) distribution if an exception does not apply. In the case of a loan of cash, the amount of the section 643(i) distribution is the issue price of the loan as of the date the loan is treated as a distribution from the foreign trust. In the case of a loan of marketable secu- rities, the amount of the section 643(i) distribution is the fair market value of the securities as of the date the loan is treated as a distribution from the foreign trust. In the case of the use of trust property with- out fair market value compensation, the amount of the section 643(i) distribution is the fair market value of the use of the property less any payments made for the use of the property within a reasonable period of time. G. Allocation of section 643(i) distribution among multiple U.S. grantors and beneficiaries Proposed §1.643(i)-3(b) provides a rule for allocating a section 643(i) distri- bution among multiple U.S. grantors and beneficiaries. If a U.S. person who is not a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of a foreign trust but who is related to more than one U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the foreign trust receives a loan of cash or market- able securities from the trust, or uses trust property, and the loan or use is treated as a section 643(i) distribution, then each U.S. grantor or beneficiary who is related to the U.S. person receiving the loan or using trust property is treated as receiving an equal share of the section 643(i) distribu- tion. H. Tax consequences of a section 643(i) distribution Proposed §1.643(i)-3(c) provides rules to determine the tax consequences of a section 643(i) distribution to a foreign trust treated as making a section 643(i) distri- bution and to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary treated as receiving the distribution. Pro- posed §1.643(i)-3(c)(2) provides that a for- eign trust generally must treat the section 643(i) distribution as an amount properly paid, credited, or required to be distributed by the trust as described in section 661(a) (2) for which the trust may be allowed a distribution deduction in computing its tax- able income. In addition, a section 643(i) distribution of marketable securities would cause a foreign trust to be deemed to have elected to have section 643(e)(3) apply to such distribution, which would cause the trust to recognize gain or loss as if the mar- ketable securities had been sold at fair mar- ket value. Any capital gain recognized by the foreign trust would be included in the trust’s distributable net income (DNI) pur- suant to section 643(a)(6)(C). As a result of the deemed election, a U.S. grantor or beneficiary would be treated as including in gross income under section 662(a)(2) the fair market value of the marketable securi- ties, and in computing its taxable income, the foreign trust would be allowed to deduct the fair market value of the market- able securities to the extent allowed under section 661(a)(2). Proposed 1.643(i)-3(c)(2)(iii) provides that the foreign trust may issue a Foreign Nongrantor Trust Beneficiary Statement (described in proposed §1.6048-4(c)(2)) to each U.S. grantor or beneficiary who receives any loan of cash or marketable securities or uses other trust property during the taxable year of the trust or is related to a U.S. person who receives any loan of cash or marketable securities or uses other trust property during the taxable year of the trust, whether or not such U.S. grantor or beneficiary would be required to take the amount into account as a section 643(i) distribution. A U.S. grantor or beneficiary who does not receive a Foreign Nongrantor Trust Beneficiary Statement with respect to a section 643(i) distribution is required to determine the tax consequences of the distribution under the default calculation method in proposed §1.643(i)-3(c)(3)(ii). Proposed §1.643(i)-3(c)(3) provides that a U.S. grantor or beneficiary who is treated as receiving a section 643(i) dis- tribution must determine the tax conse- quences of the distribution using either the actual calculation method or the default calculation method. Under the actual cal- culation method, set out under proposed §1.643(i)-3(c)(3)(i), a U.S. grantor or ben- eficiary must treat a section 643(i) distri- bution as an amount properly paid, cred- ited, or required to be distributed by the foreign trust as described in section 662(a) (2) (relating to inclusions in gross income by beneficiaries of trusts accumulating income or distributing corpus). The tax consequences of the section 643(i) distri- bution to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary are determined by using information provided in the Foreign Nongrantor Trust Benefi- ciary Statement and applying the rules of subparts C and D of part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code. Under the default calculation method, as provided in proposed §1.643(i)-3(c) (3)(ii), a U.S. grantor or beneficiary must determine the tax consequences of the section 643(i) distribution under the rules provided in proposed §1.6048-4(d)(3). For an explanation of the default calcu- lation method, see section IV.C of this Explanation of Provisions. A U.S. grantor or beneficiary may not use the actual calculation method unless the U.S. grantor or beneficiary has received a Foreign Nongrantor Trust Beneficiary Statement (described in proposed §1.6048- 4(c)(2)) from the foreign trust. A U.S. grantor or beneficiary who previously has used the default calculation method must consistently use the default calculation method to determine the tax consequences of all subsequent distributions from the same foreign trust (including distributions other than section 643(i) distributions), except in the year in which the foreign trust terminates. See proposed §1.6048-4(b) for the definition of the term distribution, and see proposed §1.6048-4(d)(3)(iii) for rules relating to the tax consequences to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary in the year in which a foreign trust terminates. I. Subsequent transactions Proposed §1.643(i)-3(d)(1) provides rules regarding the treatment of any sub- June 10, 2024 1634 Bulletin No. 2024–24 sequent transaction between a foreign trust and an obligor regarding the prin- cipal of any loan of cash or marketable securities (or use of trust property) that is treated as a section 643(i) distribution, including complete or partial repayment, satisfaction, cancellation, discharge, return of trust property, or otherwise, but not including payments of interest. Pro- posed §1.643(i)-3(d)(2) provides that any subsequent transaction with respect to the principal of any loan of cash or market- able securities or return of trust property treated as a section 643(i) distribution has no tax consequences to a foreign trust. However, payment to a foreign trust other than the repayment of principal of any loan treated as a section 643(i) distribu- tion, such as the payment of interest, is treated as income to the trust. Proposed §1.643(i)-3(d)(3) provides the consequences to an obligor of sub- sequent transactions between a foreign trust and the obligor related to a section 643(i) distribution. Generally, any subse- quent transaction regarding the principal of any loan of cash or marketable securi- ties or return of trust property treated as a section 643(i) distribution is treated as a transfer that is not a gratuitous transfer by a U.S. person for purposes of §1.671-2(e) (2)(i) and chapter 1 of the Code. Thus, the repayment of principal would not cause an obligor to be treated as the owner of the foreign trust. However, if an obligor satisfies the principal of any loan of cash or marketable securities treated as a sec- tion 643(i) distribution through a transfer of property to the foreign trust, the obligor will recognize as gain or loss the differ- ence between the fair market value of the property transferred and its adjusted basis in the hands of the obligor under the rules of section 1001 and the regulations issued under section 1001. II. Section 679 – Foreign Trusts Treated as Having a U.S. Beneficiary The proposed regulations amend the definition of U.S. person in §1.679-1(c) (2), the definition of obligation in §1.679- 1(c)(6), and the definition of qualified obli- gation in §1.679-4(d). The amended defi- nitions generally are consistent with the definitions of the same terms in proposed §§1.643(i)-1(d)(12) and 1.643(i)-2(b)(2), except that the definition of a U.S. per- son in proposed §1.679-1(c)(2) does not exclude tax-exempt entities. The proposed regulations also make two additions to §1.679-2 that provide guidance on two statutory provisions added to section 679 by the HIRE Act. First, proposed §1.679-2(a)(5) and pro- posed §1.679-2(b)(3) provide guidance to determine when a loan from a foreign trust to a U.S. person or the use of foreign trust property by a U.S. person causes the foreign trust to be treated as having a U.S. beneficiary. Second, proposed §1.679- 2(d) implements section 679(d), which generally provides that, if a U.S. person directly or indirectly transfers property to a foreign trust, the trust is presumed to have a U.S. beneficiary in certain circum- stances. A. Definition of U.S. person Proposed §1.679-1(c)(2) amends the current definition of U.S. person for pur- poses of §§1.679-1 through 1.679-6 to remove the explicit statement that a non- resident alien individual who elects under section 6013(g) to be treated as a resident of the United States is a U.S. person for purposes of section 679 without intend- ing a substantive change from the exist- ing regulation regarding the treatment of persons who make an election under sec- tion 6013(g). Additionally, a U.S. person for purposes of section 679 will include a nonresident alien individual who elects under section 6013(h) to be treated as a resident of the United States. An elec- tion under either section 6013(g) or (h) is effective for all purposes of chapter 1 of the Code, including section 679, and thus, no specific reference to either rule should be required. Under the definition of U.S. person in the proposed regulations, however, a dual resident taxpayer (within the meaning of §301.7701(b)-7(a)(1)) is not treated as a U.S. person with respect to any taxable year (or portion of a taxable year) for which such person computes U.S. tax liability as a nonresident alien pursuant to §301.7701(b)-7. The Treasury Depart- ment and the IRS are of the view that it is not necessary to treat a dual resident taxpayer who has elected to compute such person’s income tax liability as a nonres- ident alien as a U.S. person for purposes of §§1.679-1 through 1.679-6 in order to carry out the purposes of section 679. However, see §1.679-5 for rules that may apply if a dual resident taxpayer who has been computing U.S. tax liability as a non- resident alien begins to compute tax liabil- ity as a U.S. resident. B. Definition of obligation Proposed §1.679-1(c)(6) amends the current definition of obligation for pur- poses of §§1.679-1 through 1.679-6 to conform to the definition of obligation in proposed §1.643(i)-2(b)(2)(i). C. Loans from foreign trusts and uses of trust property Proposed §1.679-2(a)(5)(i) provides guidance under section 679(c)(6), which was added to the Code by the HIRE Act. As a general rule, any direct or indirect loan of cash or marketable securities (whether from trust income or corpus) by a foreign trust to, or the direct or indi- rect use of any other property of a foreign trust by, any U.S. person (whether or not a beneficiary under the terms of the trust) will be treated as causing trust income or corpus to be paid to or accumulated for the benefit of a U.S. person for purposes of §1.679-2(a)(1). For these purposes, a loan to, or use of any other property of a foreign trust by, a grantor trust or a dis- regarded entity is treated as a loan to, or use of trust property by, the owner of the grantor trust or of the disregarded entity. (For example, a loan to a single member LLC treated as a disregarded entity would be treated as a loan to the owner of the LLC.) Consequently, a foreign trust that is not already treated as having a U.S. bene- ficiary under §1.679-2 is treated as having a U.S. beneficiary for purposes of §1.679- 1, with the result that a U.S. grantor who has made a transfer to the foreign trust is treated as the owner of the trust (or a por- tion of the trust). See proposed §1.6048-4 for rules relating to information reporting with respect to loans from foreign trusts and the use of property of a foreign trust. Proposed §1.679-2(a)(5)(ii) provides that an indirect loan from a foreign trust to a U.S. person includes a loan made by any person, whether U.S. or foreign, if the Bulletin No. 2024–24 1635 June 10, 2024 foreign trust provides a guarantee (within the meaning of §1.679-3(e)(4)) for the loan. An indirect loan from a foreign trust to a U.S. person also includes a loan made through an intermediary, such as an agent or nominee of the foreign trust or of the U.S. beneficiary, and a loan from a person related (within the meaning of proposed §1.643(i)-1(d)(9)) to the foreign trust. Proposed §1.679-2(a)(5)(iii) provides three exceptions to the general rule of pro- posed §1.679-2(a)(5)(i). First, the general rule does not apply if the U.S. person who receives the loan of cash or marketable securities, or who uses trust property, is described in section 501(c)(3). Second, the general rule does not apply to any loan of cash received by a U.S. person in exchange for a qualified obli- gation within the meaning of proposed §1.643(i)-2(b)(2)(iii)(A), provided the obligor timely makes all payments within the meaning of proposed §1.643(i)-2(b) (2)(iii)(B)(3). Third, the general rule does not apply if the U.S. person who uses trust property (other than a loan of cash or marketable securities) pays the foreign trust the fair market value of the use of such property within a reasonable period from the date of the start of the use of the property. The fair market value is based on all the facts and circumstances, including the type of property used and the period of use. Pro- posed §1.679-2(a)(5)(iv) provides two safe harbors in which this fair market value exception applies. Proposed §1.679-2(a)(5)(v) addresses the interaction of proposed §1.679-2(a)(5) with section 643(i) and confirms that sec- tion 643(i) does not apply to the extent a foreign trust is treated as having acquired a U.S. beneficiary and is treated as owned by a U.S. person under section 679 (dis- cussed in section I.A of this Explanation of Provisions). Proposed §1.679-2(b)(3) provides that a loan of cash or marketable securities or the use of trust property that does not qualify for the exceptions described in proposed §1.679-2(a)(5)(iii) is treated as paid to or accumulated for the benefit of a U.S. person if the loan is made to, or the property is used by, a foreign entity described in §1.679-2(b)(1), or if the loan is made through, or the property is used by, an intermediary or is made by any other means where a U.S. person may obtain an actual or constructive benefit, as described in §1.679-2(b)(2). D. Presumption that foreign trust has U.S. beneficiary Proposed §1.679-2(d)(1) provides guidance under section 679(d) regarding whether a foreign trust is deemed to have a U.S. beneficiary. As a general rule, if a U.S. person directly or indirectly transfers property to a foreign trust (other than a compensatory or charitable trust described in §1.679-4(a)(2) or (3)), the IRS may treat the trust as having a U.S. beneficiary for purposes of applying §1.679-1 unless the U.S. person, for the tax year in which the transfer is made, (i) satisfies the informa- tion reporting requirements of proposed §1.6048-2 with respect to the transfer, and (ii) attaches an explanatory statement to the U.S. person’s Federal income tax return demonstrating to the satisfaction of the IRS that the trust satisfies the require- ments of §1.679-2(a)(1) immediately after the transfer. Section 1.679-2(a)(1) provides that a foreign trust is treated as having a U.S. beneficiary unless, during the taxable year in which the U.S. per- son made the transfer, (i) no part of the income or corpus of the foreign trust may be paid to or accumulated for the benefit of, directly or indirectly, a U.S. person, and (ii) if the foreign trust is terminated at any time during the taxable year, no part of the income or corpus of the trust could be paid to or for the benefit of, directly or indirectly, a U.S. person. Proposed §1.679-2(d)(2) provides that the IRS may request additional infor- mation related to the foreign trust and its potential beneficiaries to determine whether the trust satisfies the require- ments of §1.679-2(a)(1). Unless the U.S. person provides such additional informa- tion within 60 days (90 days if the U.S. person is outside the United States) after the IRS’s written notice and request, the trust will be presumed to have a U.S. ben- eficiary. E. Definition of qualified obligation Proposed §1.679-4(d) amends the cur- rent definition of qualified obligation for purposes of §1.679-4 to conform to the definition of qualified obligation in pro- posed §1.643(i)-2(b)(2)(iii) and the addi- tional rules in proposed §§1.643(i)-2(b) (3) through (6) (discussed in section I.C of this Explanation of Provisions). III. Section 6039F – Information Reporting Rules for U.S. Recipients of Foreign Gifts The proposed regulations provide information reporting rules for U.S. recip- ients of foreign gifts by generally incor- porating the section 6039F guidance that was provided in Notice 97-34 (discussed in section III.C of the Background). They also provide additional guidance that is needed to implement all of section 6039F and to address certain abuses of which the IRS has become aware and relevant statu- tory developments since 1997, including the enactment of section 2801 dealing with gifts and bequests from certain expa- triates. A. In general Proposed §1.6039F-1(a)(1) provides that any U.S. person who treats an amount received from a foreign person as a for- eign gift during a taxable year must report that amount on Part IV of Form 3520 by the fifteenth day of the fourth month after the close of the U.S. person’s taxable year. Proposed §1.6039F-1(a)(2) pro- vides that, if the U.S. person qualifies for an automatic extension of time to file an income tax return under section 6081 and §1.6081-5(a)(5) because the U.S. person resides outside of the United States and Puerto Rico, and the U.S. person’s main place of business or post of duty is out- side of the United States or Puerto Rico, Form 3520 must be filed by the fifteenth day of the sixth month after the close of the U.S. person’s taxable year. In either case, if the U.S. person has been granted an extension of time to file an income tax return pursuant to section 6081, an extension of time for filing Form 3520 is automatically granted to the fifteenth day of the tenth month following the close of the U.S. person’s taxable year. See pro- posed §1.6039F-1(a)(1) and (2). Proposed §1.6039F-1(a)(3) provides that, if the U.S. person dies, the executor of the U.S. per- June 10, 2024 1636 Bulletin No. 2024–24 son’s estate must report the foreign gift on Part IV of Form 3520 by the fifteenth day of the fourth month following the close of the 12-month period which began with the first day of the U.S. person’s final taxable year or, if the executor has been granted an extension of time to file the U.S. per- son’s final income tax return pursuant to section 6081, by the fifteenth day of the tenth month following the close of the 12-month period which began with the first day of the U.S. person’s final taxable year. No additional extension of time to file Form 3520 is allowed. For purposes of proposed §1.6039F- 1, the term U.S. person means a United States person as defined under section 7701(a)(30). However, under proposed §1.6039F-1(f), consistent with the approach in proposed §§ 1.643(i)-1(d) (12)(ii) and 1.679-1(c)(2)(ii), neither a dual resident taxpayer nor a dual status taxpayer is treated as a U.S. person for purposes of proposed §1.6039F-1 for a taxable year or any portion of a taxable year that the taxpayer is treated as a non- resident alien for purposes of computing U.S. tax liability. See section III.F of this Explanation of Provisions. B. Definition of “foreign gift” and coordination with section 6048(c) For purposes of proposed §1.6039F-1, the term foreign gift is defined to include any amount received from a person other than a U.S. person that the recipient treats as a gift, bequest, devise, or inheritance for Federal income tax purposes. The term, however, does not include any quali- fied transfer within the meaning of section 2503(e)(2) (relating to certain transfers for educational or medical expenses) or any transfer from a foreign trust that is treated as a distribution (within the meaning of proposed §1.6048-4(b)) and reported on a return under proposed §1.6048-4. Pro- posed §1.6039F-1(b)(1) also provides that a U.S. person who receives a transfer from a foreign trust must treat the transfer as a distribution from the trust that is report- able under proposed §1.6048-4, rather than reportable as a foreign gift under pro- posed §1.6039F-1(a), even if the U.S. per- son treats the transfer as a gift for another purpose, such as computing the U.S. per- son’s Federal income tax liability. Proposed §1.6039F-1(b)(2) includes an anti-avoidance rule that provides that the term foreign gift includes transfers from a person other than a U.S. person that the recipient does not treat as a gift, bequest, devise, or inheritance for Fed- eral income tax purposes, such as a pur- ported loan, if based on all the facts and circumstances the IRS determines that the transfer is in substance a gift. The IRS has become aware of U.S. persons who are seeking to circumvent the sec- tion 6039F information reporting rules by claiming that the amounts they receive from foreign persons are not foreign gifts because they do not treat them as gifts but that they are otherwise not taxable (claiming instead that the transfers are loans). These amounts, however, objec- tively have all the indicia of being a gift. Under the existing principles of Federal tax law, the IRS therefore will recharac- terize these amounts as foreign gifts that should have been reported under section 6039F. C. Exceptions Proposed §1.6039F-1(c) provides a number of exceptions to the general rule in proposed §1.6039F-1(a). Proposed §1.6039F-1(c)(1) provides that the gen- eral rule does not apply if the recipient of the foreign gift is described in section 501(c) and is exempt from tax under sec- tion 501(a). Proposed §1.6039F-1(c)(2) (i) through (iii) provides exceptions from information reporting under proposed §1.6039F-1(a) for amounts below the reporting thresholds. Under proposed §1.6039F-1(c)(2) (i)(A), a U.S. person is not required to report foreign gifts from foreign indi- viduals or foreign estates if, during the U.S. person’s taxable year, the aggregate amount of foreign gifts received, directly or indirectly, from any one individual or estate (the transferor) does not exceed $100,000, as modified by cost of living adjustments under proposed §1.6039F- 1(c)(2)(v). For purposes of determining whether the $100,000 reporting threshold is met, all foreign gifts (including covered gifts and bequests) from the transferor and from any foreign persons related to the transferor are aggregated. See proposed §1.6039F-1(c)(2)(i)(B). If the aggregate amount of foreign gifts from a transferor exceeds the $100,000 reporting threshold, the pro- posed regulations require the U.S. per- son to separately identify each foreign gift in excess of $5,000 received from the transferor and from each foreign person related to the transferor, and to provide identifying information about the transferor and related foreign per- sons, including foreign individuals or foreign estates (for example, name and address). Specific identifying informa- tion about the transferor is not currently required to be provided on Form 3520. The Treasury Department and the IRS are of the view that the additional identifying information would assist the IRS in its determination of whether these amounts are properly treated as foreign gifts, and the burden imposed on the U.S. person should be minimal because the U.S. per- son would need to know the transferor’s identity in order to know whether the transferor is foreign and in order to apply the aggregation rule. Under proposed §1.6039F-1(c)(2)(ii), notwithstanding the reporting threshold described above, beginning on the date on which final regulations under section 2801 (tax on gifts and bequests from expa- triates) apply, a U.S. person who receives foreign gifts that are covered gifts or bequests will be required to report the covered gifts or bequests under proposed §1.6039F-1(a) if the aggregate amount of all covered gifts and bequests received by the U.S. person during the calendar year exceeds the exclusion amount under sec- tion 2801(c). See proposed §1.6039F-1(h) (2). This exclusion amount is the dollar amount of the per-donee gift tax exclusion in effect under section 2503(b) for the cal- endar year ($18,000 for 2024). Under proposed §1.6039F-1(c)(2)(iii), a U.S. person is not required to report for- eign gifts from a foreign corporation or partnership if, during the U.S. person’s taxable year, the aggregate amount of transfers received from any particular cor- poration or partnership does not exceed $10,000, as modified by cost-of-living adjustments under proposed §1.6039F- 1(c)(2)(v). The proposed regulations pro- vide rules for aggregating and reporting foreign gifts from persons related to the transferor. Bulletin No. 2024–24 1637 June 10, 2024 Proposed §1.6039F-1(c)(2)(iv) pro- vides that, with respect to spouses who file joint income tax returns under section 6013, the reporting threshold amounts apply separately to each spouse. D. Valuation principles Proposed §1.6039F-1(d) provides that the amount of a foreign gift is the value of the property at the time of the transfer. The value of the property is the price at which the property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, nei- ther being under any compulsion to buy or sell, and both having reasonable knowl- edge of relevant facts. The value is to be determined in accordance with the Fed- eral gift tax valuation principles of sec- tion 2512 and sections 2701 through 2704 (chapter 14 of the Code) and the related regulations. E. Penalty for failure to file information Proposed §1.6039F-1(e)(1) describes penalties for failure to furnish the informa- tion required by proposed §1.6039F-1(a) by the due date (including extensions) of Form 3520. The tax consequences of the receipt of the foreign gift will be deter- mined by the IRS based on all the facts and circumstances. A U.S. person who fails to furnish the required information is subject to a penalty equal to five per- cent of the amount of the foreign gift for each month (or portion thereof) for which the failure continues, but not to exceed 25 percent of the amount of the foreign gift. For purposes of determining the tax consequences of the receipt of the foreign gift, the IRS may take into account the purported gift rules in §1.672(f)-4 (which address the treatment of a purported gift, as defined in §1.672(f)-4(d), from a part- nership or foreign corporation). Unless an exception described in §1.672(f)-4(b), (e) or (f) applies, §1.672(f)-4 generally requires a U.S. person who receives a purported gift or bequest, directly or indirectly, from a partnership or foreign corporation to include the purported gift or bequest in gross income as ordinary income. Proposed §1.6039F-1(e)(2)(i) explains that no penalty is imposed if the U.S. per- son shows that the failure to comply is due to reasonable cause and not due to will- ful neglect. The determination of whether a failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect will be made under the principles set out in §1.6664-4 and §301.6651-1(c) and will be made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account all pertinent facts and circumstances. F. Special rules for dual resident and dual status taxpayers Proposed §1.6039F-1(f)(1) provides a special rule for dual resident taxpayers (within the meaning of §301.7701(b)-7(a) (1)). A dual resident taxpayer who, pursu- ant to a provision of an income tax treaty that provides for resolution of conflicting claims of residence by the United States and the treaty partner, claims to be treated as a resident of the treaty partner as pro- vided in §301.7701(b)–7 is taxed as a non- resident for U.S. tax purposes for the por- tion of the taxable year that the individual is treated as a nonresident. The Treasury Department and the IRS are of the view that, because the dual resident taxpay- er’s filing of relevant forms pursuant to §301.7701(b)–7 provides adequate infor- mation for the IRS to identify residents in this category in order to ensure their tax compliance, reporting on Form 3520 by such a taxpayer is not essential to effec- tive IRS tax enforcement efforts relating to this category of residents. Similarly, proposed §1.6039F-1(f)(2) provides a special rule for dual status tax- payers. As provided in §1.6012-1(b)(2) (ii), a dual status taxpayer who, during the taxable year, abandons U.S. citizenship or U.S. residence or acquires U.S. citizen- ship or U.S. residence is not treated as a U.S. person for the part of the year that the taxpayer is treated as a nonresident alien for purposes of computing the taxpayer’s income tax liability as reflected on the Form 1040NR or other similar schedule attached to such Form 1040NR. These rules are relevant both for pur- poses of determining whether a dual resi- dent taxpayer or dual status taxpayer who receives a foreign gift is a U.S. person required to report the foreign gift on Form 3520 and for purposes of determining whether a gift or bequest from a dual res- ident taxpayer or dual status taxpayer is a gift from a foreign person. IV. Section 6048 – Information with Respect to Certain Foreign Trusts The proposed regulations provide information reporting rules with respect to a U.S. person’s transfers to, creation of, ownership of, and receipt of distri- butions from foreign trusts. These pro- posed regulations generally implement the rules set forth in Notice 97-34, Rev- enue Procedure 2014-55, and Revenue Procedure 2020-17 (discussed in sec- tion III.D of the Background) but also provide additional exceptions to section 6048 reporting and include certain other modifications. A. Section 6048(a) – Notice of certain events The proposed regulations under section 6048(a) require a responsible party to pro- vide notice of reportable events that occur during the taxable year on Part I of Form 3520. See proposed §1.6048-2(a)(1). Proposed §1.6048-2(c) defines respon- sible party as the grantor in the case of the creation of an inter vivos foreign trust, the transferor in the case of a transfer of property to a foreign trust by a U.S. person other than a transfer by reason of death, or the executor of the estate of a deceased grantor or transferor in any other case, even if the executor is not a U.S. person. Proposed §1.6048-2(b) defines a reportable event as: (i) the creation of a foreign trust by a U.S. person, (ii) any direct, indirect, or constructive transfer, within the meaning of §1.679-3 or §1.684- 2, of property (including cash) to a foreign trust by a U.S. person, including a transfer by reason of death, and (iii) the death of a citizen or resident of the United States if the decedent was treated as the owner of any portion of a foreign trust under the grantor trust rules or if any portion of a foreign trust was included in the gross estate of the decedent. A reportable event also includes a U.S. person’s transfer of property to a domestic trust that becomes a foreign trust, as described in §1.684-4 (outbound migrations of domestic trusts), and a U.S. person’s transfer of property in exchange for any obligation of the foreign trust or of a related person, as described in §1.679-4, without regard to whether the obligation is a qualified obligation. A June 10, 2024 1638 Bulletin No. 2024–24 reportable event does not include transfers to certain foreign charitable trusts, foreign compensatory trusts, and tax-favored for- eign retirement and non-retirement sav- ings trusts, as discussed in section IV.D.2.i of this Explanation of Provisions. See pro- posed §1.6048-5. Form 3520 generally must be filed by the fifteenth day of the fourth month after the close of the responsible party’s taxable year, but no later than the fifteenth day of the tenth month if the responsible party receives an extension of time to file the responsible party’s income tax return under section 6081. See proposed §1.6048-2(a) (2)(i). However, if the responsible party who is a grantor or transferor qualifies for an automatic extension of time to file an income tax return under section 6081 and §1.6081-5(a)(5) because the respon- sible party resides outside of the United States and Puerto Rico, and the responsi- ble party’s main place of business or post of duty is outside of the United States or Puerto Rico, Form 3520 must be filed by the fifteenth day of the sixth month after the close of the responsible party’s taxable year. See proposed §1.6048-2(a)(2)(ii). If the responsible party who is a grantor or transferor dies, the executor of the respon- sible party’s estate must file Form 3520 by the fifteenth day of the fourth month after the close of the 12-month period which began on the first day of the responsible party’s final taxable year. See proposed §1.6048-2(a)(2)(iii). B. Section 6048(b) – U.S. owners of foreign trusts The proposed regulations under section 6048(b) generally require any U.S. person who is treated as the owner (U.S. owner) of any portion of a foreign trust under the grantor trust rules to ensure that the foreign trust: (i) files Form 3520-A with the IRS by the fifteenth day of the third month after the end of the trust’s taxable year (March 15 if the trust’s taxable year is a calendar year) with a maximum exten- sion of a 6-month period beginning on such day, (ii) furnishes a Foreign Grantor Trust Owner Statement (described in pro- posed §1.6048-4(c)(1)(i)) to each U.S. owner of the foreign trust, and (iii) fur- nishes a Foreign Grantor Trust Benefi- ciary Statement (described in proposed §1.6048-4(c)(1)(ii)) to each U.S. person to whom the trust made distributions during the trust’s taxable year. The foreign trust must attach copies of each Foreign Grantor Trust Owner Statement and each Foreign Grantor Trust Beneficiary State- ment to the Form 3520-A. See proposed §1.6048-3(a)(1). If the foreign trust does not comply with all these requirements, the U.S. owner is required to: (i) com- plete and file Part II of Form 3520 by the U.S. owner’s Form 3520 due date, and (ii) complete the foreign trust’s Form 3520-A and related statements and file them with Part II of the U.S. owner’s Form 3520. Further, the U.S. owner must furnish the Foreign Grantor Trust Beneficiary State- ment to each U.S. beneficiary by the due date of the U.S. owner’s Form 3520. See proposed §1.6048-3(a)(2). If neither the foreign trust nor the U.S. owner com- plies with these requirements, the penalty for failure to comply is imposed on the U.S. owner. See proposed §1.6677-1(b). As discussed in section IV.D.2.i of this Explanation of Provisions, the proposed regulations under section 6048(b) do not apply to tax-favored foreign retirement and non-retirement savings trusts. See proposed §1.6048-5. The proposed regulations require a U.S. person who receives a Foreign Grantor Trust Owner Statement or Foreign Grantor Trust Beneficiary Statement from a foreign trust to treat any item reported by the trust consistently with the trust’s treat- ment of such item unless the U.S. person notifies the IRS about any inconsistency on Form 8082. See proposed §1.6048- 3(b). If the U.S. person fails to notify the IRS about the inconsistency, or if the U.S. person receives information believed to be incorrect from the foreign trust, then, similar to the rules of section 6034A(c) (addressing reporting in respect of income tax returns), any adjustment relating to an unreported item is treated as a mathemati- cal or clerical error under section 6213(b), with the result that the adjustment would not be subject to the usual restrictions on assessment and the U.S. grantor or U.S. beneficiary would have no right to file a Tax Court petition based on the adjust- ment. Proposed §1.6048-3(c) provides that, unless a foreign trust with a U.S. owner appoints a limited U.S. agent, the deter- mination of amounts required to be taken into account with respect to the trust by the U.S. owner under the grantor trust rules will be determined by the IRS based on all the facts and circumstances. Proposed §1.6048-3(d) provides rules relating to the appointment and duties of the limited U.S. agent. Proposed §1.6048-3(d) also pro- vides rules concerning the issuance of a summons to a U.S. person (either directly or as the limited agent of the foreign trust) or to the foreign trust to produce records or testimony to determine the amounts required to be taken into account under the grantor trust rules. C. Section 6048(c) – Reporting by U.S. persons receiving distributions from foreign trusts 1. In General Unless an exception described in pro- posed §1.6048-5 applies, proposed reg- ulations under section 6048(c) generally require a U.S. person to complete and file Part III of Form 3520 for each taxable year in which the U.S. person receives (directly or indirectly) any distribution from a for- eign trust (including a foreign trust that the U.S. person is treated as owning under the grantor trust rules). Part III of Form 3520 must be filed by the due date of the U.S. person’s Form 3520 for that taxable year. See proposed §1.6048-4(a). The Treasury Department and the IRS inter- pret section 6048(c) as requiring any U.S. person, including a U.S. owner, to report the receipt of foreign trust distributions. This interpretation is consistent with both the plain language of section 6048(c) and its purpose - to address Congress’s con- cerns that U.S. taxpayers were avoiding their U.S. tax obligations through the use of foreign trusts that are less visible to the IRS - and empowers the IRS to obtain information that would allow it to enforce U.S. tax laws. 2. Distributions Proposed §1.6048-4(b)(1) provides that, as a general rule, the term distribu- tion for purposes of proposed §1.6048-4 means any transfer of property from a foreign trust received directly or indi- rectly by a U.S. person to the extent such Bulletin No. 2024–24 1639 June 10, 2024 property exceeds the fair market value of any property or services received by the foreign trust in exchange, without regard to whether any portion of the trust is treated as owned by the grantor or another person under the grantor trust rules, whether the recipient is designated as a beneficiary under the terms of the trust, or whether the distribution has any income tax consequences. A distri- bution includes any amount actually or constructively received and includes the receipt of a gift or bequest described in section 663(a). For purposes of proposed §1.6048-4(b)(1), a transfer of property from a foreign trust to a grantor trust or to a disregarded entity is treated as a trans- fer to the U.S. owner of the grantor trust or of the disregarded entity. Proposed §1.6048-4(b)(2)(i) provides that the term distribution also includes any transfer of property from a foreign trust received by a U.S. person through an intermediary, nominee, or agent. In such a case, the intermediary, nominee, or agent generally is treated as an agent of the foreign trust, and the property is treated as distributed to the U.S. person in the year the property is transferred or made available to the U.S. person. However, proposed §1.6048-4(b)(2)(ii) provides that, if the IRS determines that the intermediary, nominee, or agent is an agent of the U.S. person, then the prop- erty is treated as being transferred from the foreign trust to the U.S. person on the date of the transfer from the foreign trust to the intermediary, nominee, or agent. Regardless of the income tax con- sequences of such a transfer, pursuant to proposed §1.6048-4(b)(2)(iii), the U.S. person receiving an indirect transfer of property from a foreign trust must report it on Part III of Form 3520. Proposed §1.6048-4(b)(3) provides that a distribution includes any transfer of property from an entity owned by a for- eign trust to a U.S. person who is related (within the meaning of §1.679-1(c)(5)) to the foreign trust. It also explains that the transfer is treated as a distribution from the entity to the foreign trust followed by a distribution from the foreign trust to the U.S. person, unless the U.S. person demonstrates to the satisfaction of the IRS that the distribution from the entity is attributable to the U.S. person’s ownership interest in the entity. This rule is the con- verse of the rule of §1.679-3(f)(1), which provides that a transfer by a U.S. person to an entity owned by a foreign trust is treated as a transfer to the foreign trust followed by a transfer from the foreign trust to the entity, unless the U.S. person demonstrates to the satisfaction of the IRS that the transfer to the entity is attributable to the U.S. person’s ownership interest in the entity. Proposed §1.6048-4(b)(4) provides that a distribution includes the migration of a foreign trust to a domestic trust. In such a case, the income and corpus of the foreign trust is treated as distributed to the domestic trust on the date the for- eign trust becomes a domestic trust. See §301.7701-7 for the rules that apply to determine whether a trust is a foreign trust or domestic trust. Proposed §1.6048-4(b)(5)(i) provides that a distribution includes any loan of cash or marketable securities made from a foreign trust (whether from corpus or income) directly or indirectly to a U.S. person. It also clarifies that a loan to a grantor trust or to an entity disregarded as an entity separate from its owner will be treated as a loan to the owner of the grantor trust or of the disregarded entity. Loans from a foreign trust also include a loan made by any foreign or U.S. person if the foreign trust guarantees the loan, as well as a loan made to a U.S. person through any intermediary, nominee or agent. Proposed §1.6048-4(b)(5)(ii) further provides that a distribution includes any loan of cash or marketable securities made directly or indirectly to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary (as defined in proposed §1.643(i)-1(d)(1)) of a foreign nongrantor trust or to a U.S. person related (as defined in proposed §1.643(i)-1(d)(9)) to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of such foreign non- grantor trust without regard to whether the foreign trust receives an obligation (within the meaning of proposed §1.643(i)-2(b) (2)(i)) in exchange for the loan. Proposed §1.6048-4(b)(5)(iii) provides that a loan of cash or marketable securi- ties from a foreign trust must be reported by the U.S. person who receives the loan without regard to whether the loan would have any U.S. income tax consequences to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the foreign trust. If the U.S. person who receives the loan is related to a U.S. grantor or bene- ficiary of a foreign nongrantor trust, then the U.S. grantor or beneficiary also must report the distribution. Proposed §1.6048-4(b)(6)(i) provides that a distribution includes the fair mar- ket value of the direct or indirect use of trust property by a U.S. person without regard to whether the use of trust prop- erty would be treated as having any U.S. income tax consequences to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the foreign trust. For these purposes, the use of trust property by a grantor trust or a disregarded entity is treated as used by the owner of the grantor trust or of the disregarded entity, respec- tively. Proposed §1.6048-4(b)(6)(ii) fur- ther provides that a distribution includes the fair market value of the direct or indi- rect use of trust property by a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of a foreign nongrantor trust or by a U.S. person related to such U.S. grantor or beneficiary whether or not the foreign trust is paid the fair market value for such use. Proposed §1.6048-4(b) (6)(iii) provides that the use of trust prop- erty must be reported on Part III of Form 3520 by the U.S. person that uses the trust property without regard to whether the use of trust property would have any U.S. income tax consequences to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the foreign trust. If the U.S. person who uses the trust property is related to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of a foreign nongrantor trust, then the U.S. grantor or beneficiary also must report the distribution. The Treasury Department and the IRS are of the view that because, under sec- tion 643(i), a distribution to a U.S. person related to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary affects the U.S. grantor’s or beneficiary’s income tax liability, it is appropriate to require reporting by both the U.S. person receiving a distribution from a foreign trust and the U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the foreign trust who is related to that U.S. person. Requiring both parties to report the distribution ensures that the IRS has the information it needs for tax compli- ance efforts. Proposed §1.6048-4(b)(7) confirms that the term distribution also includes any covered gift or bequest (within the mean- ing of section 2801(e)) that is received from a foreign trust. June 10, 2024 1640 Bulletin No. 2024–24 3. Information Statements Proposed §1.6048-4(c) lists four types of information statements that may be provided by a foreign trust if a U.S. per- son receives a distribution (including a loan of cash or marketable securities or the use of other trust property) from the foreign trust – Foreign Grantor Trust Owner Statement, Foreign Grantor Trust Beneficiary Statement, Foreign Non- grantor Trust Beneficiary Statement, and Foreign-Owned Grantor Trust Ben- eficiary Statement. The instructions for Form 3520 will be modified after these regulations are finalized to include a list of items that must be included on a For- eign-Owned Grantor Trust Beneficiary Statement. The list will be similar to the lists of items that must be included on the Foreign Grantor Trust Beneficiary Statement and the Foreign Nongrantor Trust Beneficiary Statement. A U.S. per- son who receives one of these statements may use the statement to determine the tax consequences of the distribution. 4. Tax Consequences of Distributions Proposed §1.6048-4(d) describes the rules that a U.S. person (other than a U.S. owner of the distributing trust) must use to determine the tax consequences of a distribution from a foreign trust other than a distribution that is a loan of cash or marketable securities or the use of other trust property that is not treated as a sec- tion 643(i) distribution under proposed §1.643(i)-1. Two methods to determine the tax consequences are provided: (i) the actual calculation method and (ii) the default calculation method. If the U.S. per- son who receives the distribution does not receive a copy of the relevant statement (see proposed §1.6048-4(c)), the U.S. per- son must determine the tax consequences of the distribution under the default calcu- lation method. A U.S. person who receives the relevant statement generally may com- pute the tax consequences of the distribu- tion under either the actual calculation method or the default calculation method. However, a U.S. person may not use the actual calculation method if the U.S. per- son knows or has reason to know that the information in the relevant statement is incorrect. Additionally, if the U.S. person has previously used the default calculation method with respect to distributions from the foreign trust, the U.S. person must consistently use the default calculation method to determine the tax consequences of any subsequent distributions from the trust for all future years, except for the year in which the trust terminates. Under the actual calculation method provided in proposed §1.6048-4(d)(2), a U.S. person who receives a Foreign Grantor Trust Beneficiary Statement or a Foreign-Owned Grantor Trust Bene- ficiary Statement from the foreign trust determines the income tax consequences of the distribution as a distribution being made from a grantor trust. Thus, if the distribution is a gift under section 102, the U.S. person does not include the distribution in gross income, but the distribution remains subject to the pro- posed §1.6048-4 reporting requirements. A U.S. person who receives a Foreign Nongrantor Trust Beneficiary Statement determines the tax consequences of the distribution by applying the rules of sub- parts C and D of Part 1 of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code. Under the default calculation method provided in proposed §1.6048-4(d)(3) (i)(A), the U.S. person treats a portion of the distribution as a distribution of current income based on the average amount of the distributions that the U.S. person received from the foreign trust during the prior three taxable years, with only the excess amount of the distribu- tion (that is, the amount that exceeds 125 percent of that average) treated as an accumulation distribution within the meaning of section 665(b) consisting of undistributed net income (UNI) of the foreign trust. In applying the default cal- culation method, in the absence of actual information provided on a statement described in proposed §1.6048-4(c), the U.S. person must presume that the appli- cable number of years the foreign trust has been in existence is ten years and that no taxes described in section 665(d) have been imposed on the trust in any applicable previous year (even if a dis- tribution has been made and tax under section 665(d) has previously been imposed). These rules are consistent with the default calculation method that is currently prescribed in the instruc- tions for Part III of Form 3520. The U.S. person’s use of the default calculation method does not affect any calculations made by the foreign trust for purposes of trust accounting. See proposed §1.6048- 4(d)(3)(ii). 5. Accumulation distributions and U.S. Agents Proposed §1.6048-4(e) provides that, if a U.S. person fails to provide adequate records to the IRS for purposes of deter- mining the income tax consequences of a distribution from a foreign trust (within the meaning of proposed §1.6048-4(b)) other than a loan or use of trust property that is not treated as a section 643(i) distribution under proposed §1.643(i)-1, then the entire distribution is treated as an accumulation distribution includible in the U.S. person’s income. However, if the trustee of the foreign trust authorizes a U.S. person to act as the trust’s limited agent under the rules prescribed in proposed §1.6048-3(e), then the IRS can summons and examine trust records through the U.S. agent and thus may determine the tax consequences of the distribution under the general rules provided in proposed §1.6048-4(d)(1) rather than treating the entire distribution as an accumulation distribution. 6. Coordination with the Rule for Reporting Large Foreign Gifts Proposed §1.6048-4(f) addresses the interaction of proposed §1.6048-4 and proposed §1.6039F-1. If a U.S. person receives a distribution from a foreign trust, the U.S. person must report the distribu- tion under proposed §1.6048-4(a) and not under proposed §1.6039F-1, regardless of whether the distribution is taxable to the U.S. person. D. Exceptions 1. Exceptions to Reporting Transfers of Property to Foreign Trusts Proposed §1.6048-5(a) provides an exception from section 6048(a) reporting based on section 6048(a)(3)(B). The pro- posed regulations provide that, for pur- poses of proposed §1.6048-2, a reportable event does not include any of the follow- Bulletin No. 2024–24 1641 June 10, 2024 ing: (1) a transfer of property to a foreign trust that is a transfer for fair market value within the meaning of §1.679-4(b) (other than a transfer described in the following sentence); (2) any transfer of property to certain compensatory foreign trusts, as described in section 402(b), 404(a)(4), or 404A; and (3) any transfer of prop- erty to a foreign trust provided that the trust has received a determination letter from the IRS that has not been revoked that recognizes the trust as an organiza- tion described in section 501(c)(3) that is exempt from Federal income tax under section 501(a). However, a reportable event does include a transfer for fair market value if the transfer is made by a U.S. transferor that is a related person (as defined in §1.679-1(c)(5)) with respect to the foreign trust in exchange for any obli- gation of the trust or of a related person, without regard to whether such obliga- tion is a qualified obligation described in proposed §1.679-4(d). 2. Additional Exceptions to Reporting Transactions with Foreign Trusts Proposed §1.6048-5(b) through (e) provides additional exceptions from sec- tion 6048 reporting based on the authority granted to the IRS by section 6048(d)(4) to suspend or modify the requirements of section 6048. i. Tax-favored foreign retirement trusts, non-retirement savings trusts, and de minimis savings trusts Proposed §1.6048-5(b) provides an exception from section 6048(a) through (c) and proposed §§1.6048-2 through 1.6048-4 for certain eligible U.S. indi- viduals’ transactions with, or ownership of, certain tax-favored foreign retirement trusts, non-retirement savings trusts, and de minimis savings trusts. These excep- tions to section 6048 reporting generally follow the exceptions provided under Rev. Proc. 2020-17, but are modified to address comments received, including comments requesting that future guid- ance include an increase to the applicable contribution limitation thresholds, rules for tax-favored foreign retirement trusts that may allow limited contributions of unearned income, and relief with respect to certain trusts that do not fall within the listed categories but that have values below a certain threshold. A tax-favored foreign retirement trust means a foreign trust that is established under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction to operate exclusively or almost exclusively to provide, or to earn income for the pro- vision of, pension or retirement benefits and ancillary or incidental benefits, and that meets certain additional require- ments, such as contribution limitations or value thresholds, conditions for with- drawal, and information reporting. See proposed §1.6048-5(b)(2). A tax-favored foreign non-retirement savings trust means a foreign trust that is established under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction to operate exclusively or almost exclu- sively to provide, or to earn income for the provision of, medical, disability, or educational benefits, and that also meets certain additional requirements, such as contribution limitations, conditions for withdrawal, and information reporting. See proposed §1.6048-5(b)(3). A tax-fa- vored foreign de minimis savings trust means a foreign trust that is established under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction to operate as a savings vehicle, that is not treated as a tax-favored foreign retirement trust or a tax-favored foreign non-retirement savings trust, and that meets certain additional requirements, such as information reporting, and whose value is under a de minimis threshold. See proposed §1.6048-5(b)(4). The Treasury Department and the IRS are of the view that it would be appropri- ate to exempt U.S. individuals from the requirement to provide information about these foreign trusts for several reasons. First, these foreign trusts generally are subject to written restrictions, such as con- tribution limitations, conditions for with- drawal, and information reporting, under the laws of the country in which they are established that are broadly consistent with the eligibility requirements under the Code for U.S. trusts serving similar pol- icy goals. Second, U.S. individuals with an interest in these trusts may be required under section 6038D to separately report information about their interests in accounts held by, or through, these trusts. Additionally, with respect to tax-favored foreign de minimis savings trusts and tax-favored foreign retirement trusts, the Treasury Department and the IRS are of the view that exempting U.S. individuals from the section 6048 requirements based on the value of the trust is appropriate and consistent with the reporting thresholds under section 6038D. ii. Distributions from certain foreign compensatory trusts The proposed regulations imple- ment the exception from section 6048(c) reporting provided in section V of Notice 97-34 for distributions from certain foreign compensatory trusts described in §1.672(f)-3(c)(1) (section 402(b) employee trusts and foreign rabbi trusts). Proposed §1.6048-5(c). The exception applies only if the U.S. individual who receives the distribution reports the distri- bution as compensation income on a Fed- eral income tax return. iii. Distributions received by certain domestic charitable organizations Proposed §1.6048-5(d) implements the exception from section 6048(c) reporting provided in section V of Notice 97-34 for distributions received by a domestic organization described in sec- tion 501(c)(3). The exception applies only if the domestic organization has received a determination letter from the IRS that has not been revoked recogniz- ing the domestic organization’s exemp- tion from Federal income tax under sec- tion 501(a) as an organization described in section 501(c)(3). iv. Certain trusts located in a mirror code possession Proposed §1.6048-5(e) provides an exemption from sections 6048(a) through (c) for a trust located in a mirror code pos- session to the extent the responsible party (within the meaning of section 6048(a) (4)), U.S. owner, or U.S. recipient is a bona fide resident (within the meaning of §1.937-1(b)) of the mirror code pos- session. For this purpose, a mirror code possession is a possession of the United States where, under the income tax system of the possession, the income tax liability of the residents of the possession is deter- June 10, 2024 1642 Bulletin No. 2024–24 mined by reference to the income tax laws of the United States as if the possession were the United States. A trust is located in a mirror code possession if a court within such mirror code possession is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more bona fide residents of the mirror code pos- session have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust. E. Special rules 1. Dual Resident and Dual Status Taxpayers Proposed §1.6048-6(a)(1) provides that a dual resident taxpayer (within the meaning of §301.7701(b)-7(a)(1)) who computes U.S. income tax liability as a nonresident alien and complies with the filing requirements of §301.7701(b)-7(b) and (c) is not treated as a U.S. person for purposes of the proposed regulations for the portion of the year that the dual resident taxpayer is treated as a nonres- ident alien. Similarly, under proposed §1.6048-6(a)(2), a dual status taxpayer who abandons U.S. citizenship or res- idence during the tax year or acquires U.S. citizenship or residence during the taxable year, as provided in §1.6012- 1(b)(2)(ii), is not treated as a U.S. person for purposes of the proposed regulations for the portion of the year that the dual status taxpayer is treated as a nonresi- dent alien. As a result, these taxpayers are not subject to section 6048 reporting for the portion of the year during which they are treated as nonresident aliens for purposes of computing their U.S. income tax liability. 2. Reporting by all U.S. Transferors and Recipients Section 6048(d)(1) provides that, “For purposes of [section 6048], in determining whether a United States person makes a transfer to, or receives a distribution from, a foreign trust, the fact that a portion of such trust is treated as owned by another person under the rules of subpart E of Part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 shall be disre- garded.” The Treasury Department and the IRS are of the view that it is necessary to receive information about transfers to, and distributions from, foreign grantor trusts with regard to all U.S. transferors and U.S. recipients, including the U.S. owner, in order to administer the foreign trust pro- visions and to determine a taxpayer’s U.S. tax liability with respect to foreign trusts. For example, the IRS uses this information to determine whether the transferor should be treated as the owner of the foreign trust, the value of the foreign trust’s corpus at the end of the year for purposes of assessing penalties under section 6677, and the tax consequences of distributions in later years, such as distributions of corpus or UNI, if the foreign trust becomes a nongrantor trust (because, for example, the grantor dies). Therefore, proposed §1.6048-6(b) clari- fies that, pursuant to section 6048(d)(1), a transfer to, or a distribution from, a foreign trust is reportable under section 6048(a) and (c) and the proposed regulations with- out regard to whether the trust is a grantor trust or a nongrantor trust, and whether or not there are any U.S. income tax conse- quences associated with the transfer or dis- tribution. 3. Domestic Trust with Substantial Foreign Activities or Assets Proposed §1.6048-6(c) is reserved for rules under section 6048(d)(2). Section 6048(d)(2) provides that, to the extent provided in regulations, a domestic trust is treated as a foreign trust for purposes of sections 6048 and 6677 if the trust has substantial activities, or holds substantial property, outside the United States. See section III.D.4 of the Background. 4. Joint Filers Proposed §1.6048-6(d) provides that married U.S. persons, each of whom is subject to the information reporting requirements under proposed §1.6048- 2(a) (as a grantor or transferor required to file Part I of Form 3520), proposed §1.6048-3(a)(2) (as a U.S. owner of a for- eign trust required to file a substitute Form 3520-A), or proposed §1.6048-4(a) (as a U.S. recipient of a distribution from a for- eign trust required to file Part III of Form 3520) for the same foreign trust, may file one Form 3520 for purposes of proposed §§1.6048-2 through 1.6048-4, but only if they file a joint income tax return under section 6013 for the tax year for which reporting is required. V. Section 6677 – Civil Penalties for Failure to File Information with Respect to Certain Foreign Trusts Proposed §1.6677-1 provides rules for civil penalties that may be assessed if any notice or return required to be filed under proposed §§1.6048-2 through 1.6048-4 is not timely filed or contains incomplete or incorrect information. The proposed reg- ulations provide for three separate civil penalties that correspond to each separate reporting requirement under proposed §1.6048-2, §1.6048-3, and §1.6048-4. The Treasury Department and the IRS inter- pret section 6677 as assessing a penalty based on a percentage of a gross report- able amount, a term that is defined sep- arately under section 6677(c) and in the proposed regulations with respect to each corresponding section 6048 reporting requirement. This interpretation is consis- tent with the plain text of sections 6048 and 6677 and the purpose of the 1996 Act’s modifications to these sections, which is to discourage U.S. persons from using foreign trusts to avoid their U.S. tax obligations. A. General rules Proposed §1.6677-1(a)(1) provides that, as a general rule, a person who fails to timely file a required notice or return, or fails to provide complete and correct information, is subject to a penalty equal to the greater of $10,000 or 35 percent of the applicable gross reportable amount (defined in proposed §1.6677-1(c)) for each such failure (or for each year, in the case of a failure under proposed §1.6048-3 relating to information reporting about U.S. owners of foreign trusts). If a per- son reports an amount that is less than the gross reportable amount, the penalty is based on the amount that is unreported. Proposed §1.6677-1(a)(2) provides that, if the failure to comply with the applicable reporting requirement contin- ues for more than 90 days after the day on which the IRS mails notice of the failure to the U.S. person required to pay the pen- alty, the person is required to pay an addi- tional penalty of $10,000 for each 30-day Bulletin No. 2024–24 1643 June 10, 2024 period (or fraction thereof) during which the failure continues. Proposed §1.6677-1(a)(3)(i) addresses maximum penalties. Proposed §1.6677- 1(a)(3)(i) provides that the aggregate amount of the penalties imposed by pro- posed §1.6677-1(a)(1) and (2) (as modi- fied by proposed §1.6677-1(b), if applica- ble) with respect to any single failure may not exceed the gross reportable amount with respect to that failure (provided that the IRS receives enough information to accurately determine the gross reportable amount). In some cases, the IRS can begin to assess penalties before it has received enough information to determine the gross reportable amount. If the aggregate amount of the penalty collected exceeds the applicable gross reportable amount (because the penalty was assessed and collected before the IRS was able to deter- mine the gross reportable amount), the IRS will refund the excess amount pursu- ant to section 6402. Proposed §1.6677-1(a)(3)(ii) provides that the limitations period for claims for refund under section 6511(a) and (b) applies to the refund of any excess amount. B. Failures to comply with proposed §1.6048-3 Proposed §1.6677-1(b) makes two modifications to the rules of proposed §1.6677-1(a) in the case of a notice or return required to be filed under proposed §1.6048-3 (relating to information report- ing about U.S. owners of foreign trusts). First, in the case of a notice or return required to be filed by a foreign trust under proposed §1.6048-3(a), the U.S. owner, rather than the foreign trust, must pay the penalty. Second, the amount of any penalty that initially is imposed under proposed §1.6677-1(a)(1) is the greater of $10,000 or five percent (rather than 35 percent) of the gross reportable amount. C. Gross reportable amount Proposed §1.6677-1(c)(1) provides that the term gross reportable amount means (i) the gross value of the property involved in the reportable event (deter- mined as of the date of the event) in the case of a failure relating to proposed §1.6048-2, (ii) the gross value of the por- tion of the foreign trust’s assets (at the close of the trust’s taxable year) treated as owned by the U.S. person in the case of a failure relating to proposed §1.6048-3, and (iii) the gross amount of the distribu- tion or deemed distribution in the case of a failure relating to proposed §1.6048-4. Proposed §1.6677-1(c)(2) provides guid- ance on how to determine the gross value or gross amount of property for purposes of proposed §1.6677-1(c)(1). D. Reasonable cause Proposed §1.6677-1(d) provides that the penalty does not apply if the per- son required to file the notice or return (including a U.S. person who is treated as an owner of a foreign trust that fails to comply with proposed §1.6048-3(b)) shows that the failure to file is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. The determination of whether a failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect will be made under the principles set out in §1.6664-4 and §301.6651-1(c) and will be made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account all pertinent facts and circumstances. The fact that a foreign jurisdiction would impose a civil or criminal penalty on any person for disclosing the required infor- mation will not satisfy the reasonable cause exception. In addition, refusal on the part of a foreign trustee to provide information for any reason, including difficulty in producing the required infor- mation or the existence of provisions in the trust instrument that prevent the dis- closure of required information, does not constitute reasonable cause. E. Inapplicability of deficiency procedures Proposed §1.6677-1(e) provides that deficiency procedures do not apply in the case of the assessment or collection of a penalty imposed under section 6677. F. Joint filers Proposed §1.6677-1(f)(1) provides that married U.S. persons who jointly file Form 3520 for purposes of proposed §§1.6048-2 through 1.6048-4 and jointly file an income tax return under section 6013 (as described section IV.E of this Explanation of Provisions) are treated as a single U.S. person for purposes of assess- ing section 6677 penalties. In addition, proposed §1.6677-1(f)(2) provides that the IRS may treat married U.S. persons who file a joint income tax return under section 6013, but who did not file an information return as required under §§1.6048-2 through 1.6048-4, as a single U.S. person for purposes of assessing section 6677 penalties, unless the IRS determines that, based on all the facts and circumstances, only one of the spouses was subject to the infor- mation reporting requirement (for exam- ple, because only one spouse had an interest in the property constituting the transfer to, or receipt from, a foreign trust). In these cases, it can be difficult for the IRS to determine who, between spouses, should be treated as the trans- feror, grantor, or owner of, or the recip- ient of a distribution from, a foreign trust (because, for example, a transfer of property to, or the receipt of property from, a foreign trust was made from (or to) a joint bank account). By enabling the IRS to assess section 6677 penalties on a joint and several basis against mar- ried U.S persons who do not file infor- mation returns required under section 6048, proposed §1.6677-1(f)(2) allows the IRS to properly enforce section 6048, while still allowing each spouse to demonstrate that they should not be jointly and severally liable for the sec- tion 6677 penalties assessed (for exam- ple, because one spouse did not have an interest in the underlying property giv- ing rise to a reporting requirement under proposed §§1.6048-2 through 1.6048-4). The liability of married U.S. persons treated as a single person is joint and sev- eral pursuant to proposed §1.6677-1(f)(3). VI. Proposed Applicability Dates These regulations are proposed to apply to transactions with foreign trusts and the receipt of foreign gifts in taxable years beginning after the date on which the final regulations are published in the Federal Register. However, a taxpayer may rely on these proposed regulations for any tax- able year ending after May 8, 2024 and beginning on or before the date that final June 10, 2024 1644 Bulletin No. 2024–24 regulations are published in the Federal Register, provided that the taxpayer and all related persons (within the meaning of sections 267(b) and 707(b)(1)) apply the proposed regulations in their entirety and in a consistent manner for all taxable years beginning with the first taxable year of reliance until the applicability date of the final regulations. Special Analyses I. Regulatory Planning and Review — Economic Analysis Pursuant to the Memorandum of Agreement, Review of Treasury Regula- tions under Executive Order 12866 (June 9, 2023), tax regulatory actions issued by the IRS are not subject to the requirements of section 6 of Executive Order 12866, as amended. Therefore, a regulatory impact assessment is not required. II. Paperwork Reduction Act The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520) (PRA) generally requires that a Federal agency obtain the approval of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) before collecting information from the public, whether such collection of information is mandatory, voluntary, or required to obtain or retain a benefit. The estimated number of taxpayers impacted by these proposed regulations is 58,000. This is the number of taxpayers who currently file Form 3520 and Form 3520-A to report information required by sections 643(i), 679, 6039F, and 6048 as reflected under OMB control numbers 1545-0074 (for individual filers), 1545- 0123 (for business filers), and 1545-0159 (for trust and estate filers). However, the Treasury Department and the IRS estimate that 58,000 is the upper bound because the proposed regulations exempt certain tax- payers from information reporting under sections 6039F and 6048. See, e.g., pro- posed §§1.6039F-1(c) and 1.6048-5. The collections of information in the proposed regulations are in proposed §§ 1.643(i)-1(b)(2)(ii), 1.643(i)-1(c)(2)(ii), 1.679-2(d)(1), 1.679-4(d)(1)(ii), 1.6039F- 1(a), 1.6039F-1(e), 1.6048-2(a), 1.6048- 3(a), 1.6048-4(c), and 1.6677-1(d). In general, the collections of information contained in these proposed regulations are currently reflected in the collection of information for Form 3520 and Form 3520-A, which have been reviewed and approved by the OMB in accordance with the PRA under control numbers 1545- 0074 (for individual filers), 1545-0123 (for business filers), and 1545-0159 (for trust and estate filers). Thus, the burden estimates for OMB control numbers 1545- 0074, 1545-0123, and 1545-0159 will be updated to reflect the collections of infor- mation associated with the proposed reg- ulations. An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it dis- plays a valid OMB control number. III. Regulatory Flexibility Act When an agency issues a rulemaking proposal, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) (RFA) requires the agency “to prepare and make available for public comment an initial regulatory flexibility analysis” that will “describe the impact of the proposed rule on small entities.” See 5 U.S.C. 603(a). Section 605 of the RFA provides an exception to this requirement if the agency certifies that the proposed rulemaking will not have a sig- nificant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. A small entity is defined as a small business, small non- profit organization, or small governmental jurisdiction. See 5 U.S.C. 601(3) through (6). The Treasury Department and the IRS do not expect the proposed regulations to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of sections 601(3) through 601(6) of the RFA. The proposed regu- lations generally reflect the existing col- lection of information requirements for Form 3520 and Form 3520-A. However, because the proposed regulations gen- erally apply to any U.S. person, includ- ing small entities, that engage in certain transactions with foreign trusts or receive large foreign gifts, an initial regulatory flexibility analysis has been prepared for this notice of proposed rulemaking under 5 U.S.C. chapter 6 and is provided below. The Treasury Department and the IRS request comments on the number of small entities that may be impacted and whether that impact will be economically signifi- cant. A. Statement of the need for, and objectives of, the proposed regulations As discussed in the Background and Explanation of Provisions, the proposed regulations implement sections 643(i), 679, 6039F, 6048 and 6677 (the foreign trust and gift provisions), which were added to the Code or significantly modified to address the use of foreign trusts and simi- lar offshore arrangements by United States persons to avoid U.S. tax. These provisions also enhance the IRS’s ability to obtain information regarding these offshore arrangements, including the receipt of large foreign gifts by United States persons. The proposed regulations address potential uncertainty under current law, including the necessary requirements for complying with the foreign trust and gift provisions, and the relevant tax consequences and potential penalties for compliance failures. B. Small entities to which the proposed regulations will apply The proposed regulations gener- ally define a United States person using the definition in section 7701(a) (30), which includes domestic partner- ships and domestic corporations, sub- ject to exceptions for certain entities that are exempt from taxation under chapter 1 of the Code. See, e.g., pro- posed §§ 1.643(i)-1(d)(12), 1.679-1(c) (2), 1.6039F-1(a), and 1.6048-1(b)(7). Because the number of small businesses that file Form 3520 and Form 3520-A is reflected in the taxpayer compliance bur- den provided for U.S. business income tax returns under OMB 1545-0123, an estimate of the number of small busi- nesses affected by the proposed regula- tions is not currently feasible, and there- fore, this initial regulatory flexibility analysis assumes that a substantial num- ber of small businesses will be affected. The Treasury Department and the IRS do not expect that the proposed regulations will affect a substantial number of small nonprofit organizations or small govern- mental jurisdictions. Bulletin No. 2024–24 1645 June 10, 2024 C. Projected reporting, recordkeeping, and other compliance requirements The proposed regulations generally do not impose additional reporting, recordkeeping, or other compliance obligations. The proposed regulations are substantially similar to the existing guidance in Notice 97-34, Revenue Pro- cedure 2014-55, and Revenue Procedure 2020-17 and the existing instructions to Form 3520 and Form 3520-A. The proposed regulations include certain limited clarifications to the existing guidance and also provide additional taxpayer relief, including with respect to small entities. Moreover, even with- out the proposed regulations, small enti- ties would continue to be required to file Form 3520 or Form 3520-A to comply with the statutory requirements. There- fore, these regulations generally are not expected to impose new compliance burdens, other than the time necessary for small entities to read the proposed regulations. D. Duplicate, overlapping, or relevant Federal rules The Treasury Department and the IRS are not aware of any Federal rules that duplicate, overlap, or conflict with the proposed regulations. E. Alternatives considered The foreign trust and gift provisions apply to any United States person, and the statutes do not establish different rules for small entities. Because the foreign trust and gift provisions are intended to address the use of foreign trusts and simi- lar arrangements to avoid U.S. tax, which can be structured using large and small business entities, the Treasury Department and the IRS are of the view that the pro- posed regulations should apply uniformly to all business entities. The Treasury Department and the IRS did not consider any significant alternatives. The proposed regulations address potential uncertainty under current law without imposing addi- tional economic burdens on these entities. Therefore, the proposed regulations adopt the approach with the least economic impact. IV. Section 7805(f) Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Inter- nal Revenue Code, this regulation will be submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advo- cacy of the Small Business Administration for comment on its impact on small busi- ness. V. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 requires that agencies assess anticipated costs and benefits and take certain other actions before issuing a final rule that includes any Federal man- date that may result in expenditures in any one year by a State, local, or Tribal gov- ernment, in the aggregate, or by the pri- vate sector, of $100 million in 1995 dol- lars, updated annually for inflation. The proposed regulations do not include any Federal mandate that may result in expen- ditures by State, local, or Tribal govern- ments, or by the private sector in excess of that threshold. VI. Executive Order 13132: Federalism Executive Order 13132 (entitled Fed- eralism) prohibits an agency from publish- ing any rule that has federalism implica- tions if the rule either imposes substantial, direct compliance costs on State and local governments, and is not required by stat- ute, or preempts State law, unless the agency meets the consultation and fund- ing requirements of section 6 of the Exec- utive Order. The proposed regulations do not have federalism implications, do not impose substantial direct compliance costs on State and local governments, and do not preempt State law within the mean- ing of the Executive order. Comments and Requests for a Public Hearing Before these proposed amendments to the regulations are adopted as final regulations, consideration will be given to any comments regarding the notice of proposed rulemaking that are submitted timely to the IRS, as prescribed in this preamble under the “Addresses” head- ing. The Treasury Department and the IRS request comments on all aspects of the proposed rules. Comments are spe- cifically requested in Section I.B. of the Explanation of Provisions, regarding whether qualified obligation rules are needed for loans of marketable securities and regarding the scope and application of the exception from section 643(i) distribu- tion treatment for certain loans made by a foreign corporation. All comments will be made available at www.regulations.gov. Once submitted to the Federal eRulemak- ing Portal, comments cannot be edited or withdrawn. A public hearing has been scheduled for August 21, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. ET, in the Auditorium at the Internal Revenue Building, 1111 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington DC. Due to building security procedures, visitors must enter at the Con- stitution Avenue entrance. In addition, all visitors must present photo identification to enter the building.

Sections 1.643(i)-1, 1.643(i)-2, 1.643(i)-3, 1.643(i)-4, and 1.643(i)-5 are added to read as follows: §1.643(i)-1 Loans from and use of trust property of foreign nongrantor trusts. (a) Loans and use of trust property— (1) In general. For purposes of subparts B, C, and D of part I of subchapter J of chap- ter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code, a loan or use of trust property described in para- graph (b) or (c) of this section is treated as a section 643(i) distribution from a foreign trust to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the foreign trust under subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code, as pro- vided in such paragraphs. Paragraph (d) of this section provides definitions for this section and §§1.643(i)-2 through 1.643(i)- 5. Section 1.643(i)-2 provides exceptions to the general rules of this section. Section 1.643(i)-3 provides rules relating to the determination of the amount treated as a section 643(i) distribution and the tax con- sequences of a section 643(i) distribution. Section 1.643(i)-4 provides examples, and §1.643(i)-5 provides the applicabil- ity date for the rules in this section and §§1.643(i)-2 through 1.643(i)-4. (2) Interaction with section 6048(c). For rules relating to information reporting of loans from foreign trusts and the use of property of a foreign trust, see §1.6048- 4. That provision applies without regard to whether the loan or use of property is treated as a section 643(i) distribution or has any other tax consequences, and with- out regard to whether the foreign trust is a nongrantor or grantor trust. (b) Loan of cash or marketable secu- rities from foreign nongrantor trust gen- erally treated as a distribution—(1) In general. Except as provided in §1.643(i)- 2, any direct or indirect loan of cash or marketable securities from a foreign non- grantor trust (whether from trust corpus or income) to any U.S. grantor or beneficiary of that trust or any U.S. person related to such a U.S. grantor or beneficiary is treated as a section 643(i) distribution to the U.S. grantor or beneficiary on the date such loan is made. For these purposes, a loan from a nongrantor trust to a grantor trust or to a disregarded entity is treated as a loan to the owner of the grantor trust or of the disregarded entity, respectively. For example, a loan to a single member LLC treated as a disregarded entity is treated as a loan to the owner of the LLC. (2) Indirect loans—(i) In general. Except as provided in paragraph (b)(2) (ii) of this section, an indirect loan of cash or marketable securities from a foreign nongrantor trust includes a loan of cash or marketable securities made by an inter- Bulletin No. 2024–24 1647 June 10, 2024 mediary, agent, or nominee of the trust, as well as a loan made to an intermedi- ary, agent, or nominee of a U.S. grantor or beneficiary or of a U.S. person related to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary. For example, such indirect loans include: (A) Loans made by any person other than the trust to either a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of a foreign trust or any U.S. person related to a U.S. grantor or benefi- ciary if the foreign trust provides a guar- antee (within the meaning of §1.679-3(e) (4)) for the loan; (B) Loans made by any person related to a foreign trust, to either a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the trust, or a U.S. person related to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary; and (C) Loans made by a foreign trust to a foreign person, other than to a nonresident alien individual grantor or beneficiary of the trust, if the foreign person is related to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the trust. (ii) Limitation. The loans described in paragraphs (b)(2)(i)(B) and (b)(2)(i)(C) of this section will not be treated as a section 643(i) distribution if the U.S. grantor or beneficiary: (A) Satisfies the information reporting requirements of §1.6048-4 with respect to the loan, and (B) Includes an explanatory statement attached to the U.S. grantor or benefi- ciary’s Federal income tax return that demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that the loan would have been made without regard to the fact that the U.S. grantor or beneficiary is a grantor or beneficiary of the foreign trust. (iii) Effect of indirect loans—(A) In general. In the case of a loan described in paragraph (b)(2)(i)(A) or (B) of this sec- tion, the person making the loan is treated as an agent of the foreign trust. (B) Loans to a foreign person related to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary. In the case of a loan described in paragraph (b) (2)(i)(C) of this section, the foreign person related to the U.S. grantor or beneficiary is treated as an agent of the U.S. grantor or beneficiary, and the date the loan is made to the foreign person is treated as the date the loan is made to the U.S. grantor or beneficiary. (3) Rule for nonresident alien indi- vidual grantors or beneficiaries of a for- eign trust who become U.S. persons. If a nonresident alien individual who is a grantor or beneficiary of a foreign trust receives a loan from the trust and, while the loan is outstanding, becomes a U.S. resident (within the meaning of section 7701(b)) or a U.S. citizen within two years after the date the loan was made, the loan will be treated as a section 643(i) distribution with respect to the outstand- ing amount of the loan as of the date the individual acquires U.S. residence or cit- izenship unless an exception described in §1.643(i)-2 applies. (c) Use of trust property generally treated as a distribution—(1) In gen- eral. Except as provided in §1.643(i)-2, any direct or indirect use of property of a foreign trust, other than a loan of cash or marketable securities, by any U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the trust or any U.S. person related to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary is treated as a section 643(i) distribution to the U.S. grantor or benefi- ciary in the taxable year in which the use occurs. For these purposes, use of prop- erty of a nongrantor trust by a grantor trust or by a disregarded entity is treated as use by the owner of the grantor trust or of the disregarded entity, respectively. For example, use of trust property by a single member LLC treated as a disre- garded entity would be treated as use by the owner of the LLC. (2) Indirect use of trust property—(i) In general. Indirect use of property of a foreign trust includes use by an agent or nominee of a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the trust or an agent or nominee of a U.S. person related to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary. Indirect use of trust property also includes use by a foreign person, other than a nonresident alien individual beneficiary of the trust, if the foreign per- son is related to a U.S. grantor or benefi- ciary of the trust, unless paragraph (c)(2) (ii) of this section applies. (ii) Limitation. The use of trust prop- erty described in the second sentence of paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this section is not treated as a section 643(i) distribution to the U.S. grantor or beneficiary if the U.S. grantor or beneficiary: (A) Satisfies the information reporting requirements of §1.6048-4 with respect to the use; and (B) Includes an explanatory statement attached to the U.S. grantor’s or bene- ficiary’s Federal income tax return that demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that the use of trust prop- erty would have been allowed without regard to the fact that the U.S. grantor or beneficiary is a grantor or beneficiary of the foreign trust. (iii) Effect of indirect use of trust prop- erty. In the case of the use of trust prop- erty by a foreign person related to the U.S. grantor or beneficiary described in para- graph (c)(2)(i) of this section, such foreign person is treated as an agent of the U.S. grantor or beneficiary. (d) Definitions. The following defini- tions apply for purposes of this section and §§1.643(i)-2 through 1.643(i)-5: (1) Beneficiary. The term beneficiary means a person to whom or for whose benefit, under the terms of the trust instru- ment or applicable local law, at any time during the term of the trust or upon termi- nation, trust income or corpus may be paid (including pursuant to a power of appoint- ment that has been exercised in favor of that person) or accumulated, directly or indirectly. All references to a U.S. bene- ficiary mean a beneficiary who is a U.S. person. (2) Cash. The term cash includes for- eign currencies and cash equivalents. (3) Disregarded entity. The term disre- garded entity means an entity that, under §§301.7701–1 through 301.7701–3 of this chapter, is disregarded as an entity sepa- rate from its owner. (4) Foreign person. The term foreign person means any person who is not a U.S. person within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30). (5) Grantor trust. The term grantor trust means a trust or any portion of a trust that is treated as owned by any person under subpart E of part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code. (6) Loan of cash. Except as provided in §1.643(i)-2(a)(1), the term loan of cash includes an extension of credit. (7) Marketable securities. The term marketable securities means marketable securities within the meaning of section 731(c)(2)(A), but not including foreign currencies. (8) Nongrantor trust. The term non- grantor trust means a trust or any portion of a trust that is not treated as owned by any person under subpart E of part I of June 10, 2024 1648 Bulletin No. 2024–24 subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code. (9) Related. A person will be consid- ered to be related to another person if the relationship between such persons would result in a disallowance of losses under section 267 or 707(b). In applying section 267 for purposes of the previous sentence, section 267(c)(4) is applied as if the fam- ily of an individual includes the spouses of the members of the individual’s family. (10) Section 643(i) distribution. The term section 643(i) distribution means a transaction described in paragraph (b) or (c) of this section. (11) U.S. grantor. The term U.S. grantor means a U.S. person described in §1.671-2(e). (12) U.S. person—(i) In general. Sub- ject to paragraph (d)(12)(ii) of this sec- tion, the term U.S. person means a United States person as defined in section 7701(a) (30) but does not include an entity that is exempt from tax under chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code. (ii) Special rules—(A) Dual resident taxpayers. If a dual resident taxpayer (within the meaning of §301.7701(b)-7(a) (1) of this chapter) computes U.S. income tax liability as a nonresident alien on the last day of the taxable year and com- plies with the filing requirements of §301.7701(b)-7(b) and (c) of this chapter, the dual resident taxpayer is not treated as a U.S. person for purposes of section 643(i) with respect to the portion of the taxable year the dual resident taxpayer was treated as a nonresident alien for pur- poses of computing U.S. income tax lia- bility. (B) Dual status taxpayers. Except as provided in paragraph (b)(3) of this sec- tion, if a taxpayer abandons U.S. citi- zenship or residence during the tax year or acquires U.S. citizenship or residence during the taxable year as provided in §1.6012-1(b)(2)(ii), the taxpayer is not treated as a U.S. person with respect to the portion of the taxable year the taxpayer was treated as a nonresident alien for pur- poses of computing U.S. income tax lia- bility. §1.643(i)-2 Exceptions (a) In general. A loan of cash or use of trust property will not be treated as a section 643(i) distribution if the loan of cash or use of trust property is one of the following: (1) Loan of cash in exchange for a qualified obligation. A loan of cash that is in exchange for a qualified obligation (within the meaning of paragraph (b)(2) (iii) of this section). (2) Compensated use of trust prop- erty—(i) In general. Use of trust prop- erty, other than a loan of cash or market- able securities, to the extent that the trust is paid the fair market value of such use within a reasonable period from the start of the use of the property. A determina- tion as to the fair market value of the use of such property and as to whether a fair market value payment is made within a reasonable period must be based on all the facts and circumstances, including the type of property used and the period of use. In appropriate cases, such as rental of real property, payments may be made on a periodic basis consistent with arm’s length dealings between unrelated parties. (ii) Safe harbor. For purposes of para- graph (a)(2)(i) of this section, a payment is made within a reasonable period if the payment is made or periodic payments commence within 60 days of the start of the use of trust property. (3) De minimis use of trust property. Use of trust property, other than a loan of cash or marketable securities, if such use is de minimis. Use of trust property will be considered de minimis if aggregate use by members of the group consisting of the U.S. grantors, U.S. beneficiaries, and the U.S. persons related to any U.S. grantor or beneficiary does not exceed 14 days during the calendar year. (4) Certain loans made by a foreign corporation. A loan of cash that is made by a foreign corporation to a U.S. benefi- ciary of the foreign trust to the extent the aggregate amount of all such loans to the beneficiary does not exceed undistributed earnings and profits of the foreign corpo- ration attributable to amounts that are, or have been, included in the beneficiary’s gross income under section 951, 951A, or 1293. (b) Qualified obligations—(1) In gen- eral. The rules in this paragraph (b) apply to determine whether a loan of cash is in exchange for a qualified obligation. (2) Definitions. The following defini- tions apply for purposes of this section and §§1.643(i)-1 and 1.643(i)-3 through 1.643(i)-5: (i) Obligation. The term obligation means any instrument or contractual arrangement that constitutes indebtedness under general principles of Federal income tax law (for example, a bond, note, deben- ture, certificate, bill receivable, account receivable, note receivable, open account, or other evidence of indebtedness), and any annuity contract that would not oth- erwise be classified as indebtedness under general principles of Federal income tax law. (ii) Obligor. The term obligor means the person who issues an obligation to a foreign trust in exchange for a loan of cash. (iii) Qualified obligation—(A) General requirements. The term qualified obliga- tion means an obligation that at all times satisfies all of the following requirements: (1) The obligation is reduced to writing in an express written agreement. (2) The term of the obligation does not exceed five years. For purposes of deter- mining the term of an obligation, the obli- gation’s maturity date is the last possible date that the obligation can be outstanding under the terms of the obligation. (3) All payments on the obligation must be made in cash in U.S. dollars. (4) The obligation is issued at par and provides for stated interest at a fixed rate or a qualified floating rate within the meaning of §1.1275-5(b). (5) The yield to maturity of the obli- gation is not less than 100 percent of the applicable Federal rate and not greater than 130 percent of the applicable Fed- eral rate. The applicable Federal rate for an obligation is the applicable Federal rate in effect under section 1274(d) for the day on which the obligation is issued, as published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin (see §601.601(d)(2) of this chapter). The yield to maturity and the applicable Fed- eral rate must be based on the same com- pounding period. If an obligation is a vari- able rate debt instrument that provides for stated interest at a qualified floating rate, the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument rules in §1.1274-2(f)(1) or §1.1275-5(e), whichever is applicable, apply to deter- mine the obligation’s yield to maturity. Bulletin No. 2024–24 1649 June 10, 2024 (6) All stated interest on the obliga- tion is qualified stated interest within the meaning of §1.1273-1(c). (B) Additional requirements to remain a qualified obligation. An obligation will remain a qualified obligation only if, for the first year and each succeeding year that the obligation remains outstanding, the following requirements are satisfied: (1) The U.S. grantor or beneficiary timely extends the period for assessment of any income tax attributable to the obligation and any consequent income tax changes for each year that the obli- gation is outstanding to a date not earlier than three years after the maturity date of the obligation. This extension of the period for assessment is not necessary with respect to the taxable year of the U.S. grantor or beneficiary in which the maturity date of the obligation falls, pro- vided that the obligation is paid in cash in U.S. dollars within that year. The period of assessment is extended by completing and filing Part III of Form 3520, Annual Return to Report Transactions with For- eign Trusts and Receipt of Certain For- eign Gifts, for every year that the obli- gation is outstanding. The waiver in Part III of Form 3520 shall also contain such other terms with respect to assessment as may be considered necessary by the Commissioner to ensure the assessment and collection of the correct tax liabil- ity for each year for which the waiver is required. When Part III of Form 3520 is properly executed and filed, the consent to extend the period for assessment of tax will be deemed to be agreed upon and executed by the Commissioner for pur- poses of §301.6501(c)-1(d). (2) The U.S. grantor or beneficiary timely reports the status of the obligation, including principal and interest payments, on Part III of Form 3520 for each year that the obligation is outstanding. (3) The obligor timely makes all pay- ments of principal and interest on the obli- gation according to the terms of the obli- gation (which may include a reasonable grace period of no more than thirty days for a late payment). (3) Modification of a qualified obli- gation. If the terms of a qualified obliga- tion are modified and the modification is treated as an exchange under §1.1001-3, the new obligation that is deemed issued in the exchange under §1.1001-3 must satisfy all the requirements in paragraph (b)(2)(iii) of this section to be a qualified obligation using the original obligation’s issue date. If the modification is not treated as an exchange under §1.1001-3, then the obligation must be retested as of the date of the modification to determine whether the obligation, as modified, continues to satisfy the requirements in paragraph (b) (2)(iii) of this section to be a qualified obligation. (4) Additional loans. If a qualified obligation is outstanding and the obli- gor directly or indirectly issues an addi- tional obligation to the foreign trust in exchange for cash, the outstanding obliga- tion is deemed to have the maturity date of the additional obligation in determin- ing whether the outstanding obligation exceeds the specified five-year term. The outstanding obligation must be retested as of the issue date of the additional obliga- tion to determine whether it would have satisfied, as of the outstanding obliga- tion’s issue date, all the requirements in paragraph (b)(2)(iii) of this section to be a qualified obligation. If there is more than one qualified obligation outstanding, the determination is made based on the out- standing obligation with the earliest issue date. The additional obligation also must be separately tested to see if it satisfies the requirements in paragraph (b)(2)(iii) of this section to be a qualified obligation. (5) Anti-abuse rule. Notwithstanding paragraphs (b)(3) and (4) of this section, if the Commissioner determines, based on all of the facts and circumstances, that two or more obligations issued by a U.S. obli- gor are structured with a principal purpose to avoid the application of section 643(i), the Commissioner may treat the obliga- tions as a single obligation that is not a qualified obligation. (6) Obligations that cease to be quali- fied—(i) In general. If an obligation ceases to be a qualified obligation (for exam- ple, because an obligation is modified so that the term of the obligation exceeds 5 years), the U.S. grantor or beneficiary is treated as receiving a section 643(i) distri- bution from the trust. (ii) Amount of section 643(i) distri- bution. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph (b)(6)(ii), the amount of the section 643(i) distribution treated as received pursuant to paragraph (b)(6)(i) of this section is equal to the obligation’s outstanding stated principal amount plus any accrued but unpaid qualified stated interest (within the meaning of §1.1273- 1(c)) as of the date of the event that causes the obligation to no longer be a qualified obligation. In the case of an obligation that ceases to be a qualified obligation because the Commissioner treats two or more obligations as a single obligation pursuant to paragraph (b)(5) of this sec- tion, the amount of the section 643(i) dis- tribution will not exceed the sum of the outstanding stated principal amount plus any accrued but unpaid qualified stated interest on each of the obligations as of the date determined by the Commissioner under paragraph (b)(6)(iii) of this section. (iii) Date of section 643(i) distribution. In general, the U.S. grantor or beneficiary is treated as receiving a section 643(i) distribution on the date of the event that causes an obligation to no longer be a qual- ified obligation. However, based on all of the facts and circumstances, if an obliga- tion (or obligations) is structured with a principal purpose to avoid the application of section 643(i), the Commissioner may deem a section 643(i) distribution to have occurred on any date on or after the issue date of the obligation(s). (c) Trust property attributable to non- grantor trust portion—(1) In general. A loan or use of trust property from a par- tial nongrantor trust must be apportioned between the nongrantor and grantor por- tions of the trust in a manner that is rea- sonable in light of all the facts and cir- cumstances, including the terms of the governing instrument, local law, and the practice of the trustee if it is reasonable and consistent. (2) Specific property. If a loan of cash or marketable securities, or a use of trust property, can be made from only one por- tion of the foreign trust because the type of property loaned or used is held only by that portion, then the loan or use of prop- erty is deemed to be attributable to that portion. (d) Reporting. A loan of cash or mar- ketable securities from, or the use of any property of, a foreign grantor or non- grantor trust to or by a U.S. person is a dis- tribution for purposes of §1.6048-4(b)(3) or (4), as applicable, and must be reported June 10, 2024 1650 Bulletin No. 2024–24 by the U.S. person, and if the trust is a for- eign nongrantor trust, by the U.S. grantor or beneficiary, under §1.6048-4(a), irre- spective of whether the loan or use of trust property is a section 643(i) distribution. (e) Examples. The following exam- ples illustrate the rules of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this section: (1) Example 1: Loan of cash not in exchange for qualified obligation. Y, a nonresident alien, created and funded a foreign nongrantor trust, FT, for the benefit of X, a U.S. person. X is the sole beneficiary of FT. In Year 1, FT makes a loan of cash to X in exchange for a demand note that permits FT to require repayment by X at any time. The demand note issued by X is not a qualified obligation within the meaning of paragraph (b)(2)(iii) of this section because X’s obligation to FT could remain outstanding for more than five years. Accordingly, the qualified obligation exception in paragraph (a)(1) of this section does not apply. Under §1.643(i)-1(b) and §1.643(i)-3(a), X is treated as receiving a section 643(i) distribution from FT. X must determine the tax consequences of the distribution under §1.643(i)-3(c). Under §1.6048- 4(a), X is required to report the section 643(i) dis- tribution on Part III of Form 3520 for Year 1, as a distribution from a foreign trust. (2) Example 2: Beneficiary fails to extend period of assessment and fails to report loan on Form 3520. Y, a nonresident alien, created and funded a foreign nongrantor trust for the benefit of X, a U.S. person. On June 30, Year 1, FT makes a loan of cash to X in exchange for an obligation that satisfies the require- ments of paragraph (b)(2)(iii)(A) of this section. However, X fails to timely file Form 3520 and did not request an extension to file. As a result, X has failed to extend the period for assessment of any income tax attributable to the loan through the fil- ing of Form 3520 by its due date as required under paragraph (b)(2)(iii)(B)(1) of this section. X also has failed to report the status of the loan on Form 3520 as required under paragraph (b)(2)(iii)(B)(2) of this section. Either one of X’s failures is sufficient to cause the loan to be treated as a section 643(i) dis- tribution under §1.643(i)-1(b). Because the loan fails to continue to be treated as a qualified obligation, the loan is treated as a section 643(i) distribution from FT as of April 15, Year 2, the date that X’s Form 3520 was due. (3) Example 3: Effect of subsequent obligation on original obligation. Y, a nonresident alien, created and funded a foreign nongrantor trust for the ben- efit of X, a U.S. person. On January 1, Year 1, FT makes a loan of cash to X in exchange for Note 1, an obligation with a maturity date of January 1, Year 6, that satisfies the requirements of paragraph (b)(2) (iii) of this section. On June 30, Year 1, FT makes an additional loan of cash to X in exchange for Note 2, an obligation with a maturity date of June 30, Year 6. Under paragraph (b)(4) of this section, Note 1 will be deemed to have a maturity date of June 30, Year 6 (i.e., a greater than five-year term) and will cease to be a qualified obligation. Under paragraph (b)(6)(ii) of this section, X will be treated as receiving a sec- tion 643(i) distribution equal to Note 1’s outstand- ing stated principal amount plus any accrued but unpaid qualified stated interest (within the meaning of §1.1273-1(c)) as of June 30, Year 1. Note 2 will be separately tested to determine whether it satisfies the requirements of paragraph (b)(2)(iii) of this section. (4) Example 4: Anti-abuse rule. Y, a nonresident alien, created and funded a foreign nongrantor trust for the benefit of X, a U.S. person. On January 1, Year 1, FT makes a loan of cash to X in exchange for Note 1, an obligation with a maturity date of January 1, Year 4 that satisfies the requirements of paragraph (b)(2)(iii) of this section. On January 1, Year 4, FT makes another loan of cash to X in exchange for Note 2, an obligation with a maturity date of Janu- ary 1, Year 7, but otherwise has the same terms as Note 1. Based on all of the facts and circumstances, the Commissioner determines under paragraph (b) (5) of this section that Notes 1 and 2 are structured with a principal purpose to avoid the application of section 643(i). Therefore, under paragraph (b)(5) and paragraph (b)(6)(ii) and (iii) of this section, the Commissioner may treat Notes 1 and 2 as a single obligation (with a six-year term) that is not a quali- fied obligation and may treat X as receiving a section 643(i) distribution equal to the combined outstand- ing stated principal amounts of Note 1 and Note 2 plus any accrued but unpaid qualified stated interest as of any date determined by the Commissioner. (5) Example 5: Allocation of trust property attributable to partial grantor trust. In Year 1, Y, a nonresident alien, creates and settles a foreign trust, FT, for the benefit of X, a U.S. beneficiary. Y funds the trust with a vacation home valued at $500,000 and $500,000 cash. Under the trust document, Y has the power to revoke the trust as to the vacation home and any income earned by the vacation home at any time without the consent of any person. This power to revoke results in Y being treated as the owner of the portion of the trust comprising the vacation home (the grantor trust portion) under section 676 (after application of §1.672(f)-3(a)). Y has no powers that would cause Y to be treated as the owner of the por- tion of the trust comprising the cash Y contributed or any income earned by that cash. X uses the vacation home for 2 months in Year 2 and does not compen- sate the trust for the use of the vacation home. Under paragraph (c)(2) of this section, the use of the vaca- tion home will be deemed to be attributable to the grantor trust portion and thus will not be treated as a section 643(i) distribution to X. Under paragraph (d) of this section, X must comply with the report- ing requirements of §1.6048-4 with respect to the use of the vacation home. Under §1.6048-4(b)(4), X is required to report the use of the vacation home on Part III of Form 3520 for Year 2 as a distribution from FT. §1.643(i)-3 Consequences of section 643(i) distribution. (a) Amount treated as section 643(i) distribution—(1) Loan of cash. Except as provided otherwise, in the case of a loan of cash treated as a section 643(i) distribution, the amount of the section 643(i) distribution is the issue price of the loan, as determined under §1.446-2(d) (1), §1.1273-2 or §1.1274-2 (whichever is applicable), as of the date (described in §1.643(i)-2(b)(6)) the loan is treated as a section 643(i) distribution. (2) Loan of marketable securities. In the case of a loan of marketable securities treated as a section 643(i) distribution, the amount of the section 643(i) distribution is the fair market value of the securities as of the date the loan is treated as a section 643(i) distribution. (3) Uncompensated use of trust prop- erty. In the case of the use of trust prop- erty treated as a section 643(i) distribu- tion, the amount of the section 643(i) distribution is the fair market value of the use of the property less the amount of any payments made within a reasonable period (described in §1.643(i)-2(a)(2)) for the use of such property. The fair market value of the use of the property is based on all the facts and circumstances, including the type of property used and the period of use. (b) Allocation of section 643(i) distri- bution among multiple U.S. grantors and beneficiaries. If a U.S. person who is not a U.S. grantor or beneficiary of a foreign trust but who is related to more than one U.S. grantor or beneficiary of the trust receives a loan of cash or marketable secu- rities, or uses trust property, that is treated as a section 643(i) distribution, then each U.S. grantor and beneficiary who is related to the U.S. person receiving the loan or using trust property is treated as receiving an equal share of the section 643(i) distri- bution. For purposes of this allocation, the term U.S. beneficiary includes only those beneficiaries who must or may receive a current distribution from the foreign trust. (c) Tax consequences of a section 643(i) distribution—(1) In general. A U.S. grantor or beneficiary who is treated as receiving a section 643(i) distribution must determine the tax consequences of the distribution under either the actual cal- culation method (as defined in §1.6048- 4(d)(2)) or the default calculation method (as defined in §1.6048-4(d)(3)). A U.S. grantor or beneficiary may not use the actual calculation method to determine the tax consequences of a section 643(i) distribution in a tax year in which the U.S. grantor or beneficiary has not received a Foreign Nongrantor Trust Beneficiary Statement (see §1.6048-4(d)(2)) from the foreign trust before completing the U.S. Bulletin No. 2024–24 1651 June 10, 2024 grantor’s or beneficiary’s return, knows or has reason to know that the information in the Foreign Nongrantor Trust Beneficiary Statement is incorrect, or previously has used the default calculation method for the same trust. A U.S. grantor or benefi- ciary who previously has used the default calculation method must consistently use the default calculation method to deter- mine the tax consequences of any subse- quent distribution (within the meaning of §1.6048-4(b)) from the same trust in all future years, except in the year in which the trust terminates. See §1.6048-4(d)(3) (iii). (2) Consequences to foreign trust—(i) Treatment of amount under section 661(a) (2). In the case of a section 643(i) distribu- tion, regardless of whether a U.S. grantor or beneficiary uses the default calculation method or the actual calculation method of computing the tax consequences of a dis- tribution, the foreign trust must treat the section 643(i) distribution as an amount properly paid, credited, or required to be distributed by the trust as described in sec- tion 661(a)(2). (ii) Distribution of marketable secu- rities. If the section 643(i) distribution is of marketable securities, the trust will be deemed to have made an election to have section 643(e)(3) apply with respect to all section 643(i) distributions of marketable securities made by the trust during the tax- able year, and any resulting capital gain is included in the trust’s distributable net income pursuant to section 643(a)(6)(C). (iii) Foreign Nongrantor Trust Bene- ficiary Statement. The foreign trust may issue a Foreign Nongrantor Trust Benefi- ciary Statement (as described in §1.6048- 4(c)(2)) to each U.S. person who receives a loan of cash or marketable securities, or uses trust property other than a loan of cash or marketable securities, during the taxable year of the trust, without regard to whether a U.S. person would be required to take the amount of the loan or use of trust property into account as a section 643(i) distribution. If a U.S. person to whom a statement is issued is not a U.S. grantor or beneficiary but is related to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary, the foreign trust may issue a duplicate statement to the U.S. grantor or beneficiary. (3) Consequences to U.S. grantor or beneficiary—(i) Actual calculation method. If a U.S. grantor or beneficiary is eligible to use, and uses, the actual calcu- lation method, the U.S. grantor or benefi- ciary must treat a section 643(i) distribu- tion as an amount properly paid, credited, or required to be distributed by the trust as described in section 662(a)(2) using infor- mation about the foreign trust as provided in the Foreign Nongrantor Trust Benefi- ciary Statement and applying the rules of subparts C and D of part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code. (ii) Default calculation method. Under the default calculation method, a U.S. grantor or beneficiary must apply the rules provided in §1.6048-4(d)(3). (d) Subsequent transactions for loans or use of trust property—(1) In general. Any subsequent transaction regarding the principal of any loan of cash or market- able securities treated as a section 643(i) distribution (including complete or partial repayment, satisfaction, cancellation, dis- charge, or otherwise, but not including the payment of interest) or the return of trust property the use of which was treated as a section 643(i) distribution has the con- sequences described in paragraphs (d)(2) and (3) of this section. (2) Consequences to foreign trust. Any subsequent transaction regarding the prin- cipal of any loan of cash or marketable securities or the return of trust property treated as a section 643(i) distribution has no tax consequences to the trust. However, any payment to the trust other than the repayment of principal of any loan treated as a section 643(i) distribution, includ- ing the payment of interest, is treated as income to the trust. (3) Consequences to obligor—(i) In general. Any subsequent transaction regarding the principal of any loan of cash or marketable securities or the return of trust property treated as a section 643(i) distribution is treated as a transfer that is not a gratuitous transfer by a U.S. per- son for purposes of §1.671-2(e)(2)(i) and chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code. (ii) Satisfaction of loan with property. Any transfer of property to a foreign trust in satisfaction of any amount due under a loan of cash or marketable securities treated as a section 643(i) distribution causes the obligor to recognize as gain or loss the difference between the fair mar- ket value of the property transferred and the adjusted basis of such property in the hands of the obligor in accordance with the rules of section 1001 and the regula- tions under section 1001 in this part. §1.643(i)-4 Examples. (a) Scope. The examples in this section illustrate the rules of §§1.643(i)-1 through 1.643(i)-3. (b) Example 1: Loan to contingent remainder beneficiary treated as loan to U.S. beneficiary. Y, a nonresident alien, created and funded a foreign nongrantor trust, FT, for the benefit of Y’s two chil- dren from Y’s first marriage, A and B, who are both nonresident aliens. FT’s governing trust instrument provides that, upon the death of the second to die of A and B, the trust may make a distribution to any of Y’s surviving children, in the discretion of the trustee. In Year 1, X, a U.S. person who is Y’s daughter from Y’s second marriage, receives a loan of $100,000 from FT in exchange for an obligation that is not a qualified obligation within the meaning of §1.643(i)-2(b)(2)(iii). Under §1.643(i)-1(d)(1), X is a U.S. beneficiary of FT because X is a U.S. per- son to whom, at some point before the termination of the trust, the trust income or corpus may be paid at the discretion of the trustee. Under §§1.643(i)-1(b) (1) and 1.643(i)-3(a)(1), X is treated as receiving a section 643(i) distribution from FT in the amount of $100,000. X must determine the tax consequences of the distribution under §1.643(i)-3(c). Under §1.6048-4(a), X is required to report the section 643(i) distribution on Part III of Form 3520 for Year 1 as a distribution from a foreign trust. (c) Example 2: Loan from foreign nongrantor trust to a foreign grantor trust treated as section 643(i) distribution to U.S. owner. The facts are the same as in paragraph (b) of this section (Example 1), except that instead of a loan to X, in Year 1, FT makes a loan of $100,000 to GT, a foreign grantor trust treated as wholly owned by X, in exchange for an obligation that is not a qualified obligation within the meaning of §1.643(i)-2(b)(2)(iii). Under §1.643(i)-1(d)(1), X is a U.S. beneficiary of FT as explained in paragraph (b) of this section (Example 1). Under §§1.643(i)-1(b)(1) and 1.643(i)-3(a)(1), X, who is treated as the owner of GT, is treated as receiving a section 643(i) distribution from FT in the amount of $100,000. X must determine the tax con- sequences of the distribution under §1.643(i)-3(c). Under §1.6048-4(a), X is required to report the sec- tion 643(i) distribution on Part III of Form 3520 for Year 1 as a distribution from a foreign trust. (d) Example 3: Loan by a person related to a for- eign nongrantor trust treated as a section 643(i) dis- tribution. X, a U.S. person, is a beneficiary of FT, a foreign nongrantor trust. FT owns 55% of the stock of FC, a foreign corporation that is not a controlled for- eign corporation within the meaning of section 957 or a passive foreign investment company within the meaning of section 1297. FC is related to FT within the meaning of §1.643(i)-1(d)(9). On January 2, Year 1, FC lends cash to X in exchange for an obligation that is not a qualified obligation within the meaning of §1.643(i)-2(b)(2)(iii). Under §1.643(i)-1(b)(2) June 10, 2024 1652 Bulletin No. 2024–24 (iii), FC is treated as the agent of FT with respect to the loan, and under §1.643(i)-1(b)(1) and (2)(i), X is treated as receiving the loan from FT on January 2, Year 1. Nevertheless, under §1.643(i)-1(b)(2)(ii), the loan is not treated as a section 643(i) distribution if X satisfies the reporting requirements of §1.6048-4 and attaches a statement to X’s income tax return that demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Commis- sioner that the loan would have been made without regard to X’s relationship with FT. Otherwise, X is treated as receiving a section 643(i) distribution and must determine the tax consequences of the distribu- tion under §1.643(i)-3(c). Regardless of whether X claims the exception described in §1.643(i)-1(b)(2) (ii), under §1.6048-4(a), X is required to report the loan on Part III of Form 3520 for Year 1 as a distri- bution from a foreign trust. (e) Example 4: Guaranteed loan by an unrelated person treated as a section 643(i) distribution. X is a U.S. beneficiary of FT, a foreign nongrantor trust. On January 2, Year 1, X borrows $100,000 from Bank in exchange for an obligation that is not a qualified obli- gation within the meaning of §1.643(i)-2(b)(2)(iii), and FT provides a guarantee (within the meaning of §1.679-3(e)(4)) for the loan. Under §1.643(i)-1(b) (1) and (2)(i), X is treated as receiving a loan from FT on January 2, Year 1, in the amount of $100,000 because FT guaranteed the loan from Bank to X. On January 2, Year 1, X is treated as receiving a section 643(i) distribution. X must determine the tax con- sequences of the distribution under §1.643(i)-3(c). Under §1.6048-4(a), X is required to report the sec- tion 643(i) distribution on Part III of Form 3520 as a distribution from a foreign trust. (f) Example 5: Loan to a foreign person related to a U.S. beneficiary. X is a U.S. beneficiary of FT, a foreign nongrantor trust. X is also the sole share- holder of CFC, a foreign corporation, treated as a controlled foreign corporation under section 957. On January 2, Year 1, FT lends $100,000 to CFC in exchange for an obligation that is not a qualified obligation within the meaning of §1.643(i)-2(b) (2)(iii). CFC is related to X within the meaning of §1.643(i)-1(d)(9). Under §1.643(i)-1(b)(1) and (2) (i), X is treated as receiving a loan from FT on Janu- ary 2, Year 1, in the amount of $100,000 because FT made the loan to CFC, a foreign person related to X . Under §1.643(i)-1(b)(2)(ii), the loan is not treated as a section 643(i) distribution if X reports the loan consistent with the requirements of §1.6048-4 and attaches a statement to X’s income tax return that demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that the loan from FT to CFC would have been made without regard to X’s relationship with FT. Other- wise, X is treated as receiving a section 643(i) dis- tribution and must determine the tax consequences of the distribution under §1.643(i)-3(c). Regard- less of whether X claims the limitation described in §1.643(i)-1(b)(2)(ii), under §1.6048-4(a), X is required to report the loan on Part III of Form 3520 for Year 1 as a distribution from a foreign trust. (g) Example 6: Loan to wholly owned corpora- tion of U.S. beneficiary. Y, a nonresident alien, cre- ated and funded a foreign nongrantor trust, FT, for the benefit of Y’s child, X, a U.S. person. X is a U.S. beneficiary within the meaning of §1.643(i)-1(d)(1). X wholly owns XYZ Corp, a domestic corporation. On July 1, Year 1, FT lends $100,000 to XYZ Corp in exchange for an obligation that is not a qualified obligation within the meaning of §1.643(i)-2(b)(2) (iii). Under §1.643(i)-1(d)(9) and (12), XYZ Corp is a U.S. person related to X. Under §1.643(i)-1(b) (1) and (2)(i) and §1.643(i)-3(a)(1), X is treated as receiving a section 643(i) distribution from FT in the amount of $100,000. X must determine the tax con- sequences of the distribution under §1.643(i)-3(c). Under §§1.6048-4(a), X and XYZ Corp are required to report the loan on Part III of Form 3520 for Year 1 as a distribution from a foreign trust. (h) Example 7: Subsequent transactions with respect to loan treated as a section 643(i) distri- bution. The facts are the same as in paragraph (g) of this section (Example 6). In Year 1, XYZ Corp makes a payment to FT that it characterizes in part as a partial repayment of principal and in part as interest on its obligation to FT. Under §1.643(i)-3(d)(3)(i), the portion of the payment that is characterized as a repayment of principal will be treated as a transfer that is not a gratuitous transfer by a U.S. person for purposes of §1.671-2(e)(2)(i) and chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under §1.643(i)-3(d)(2), the transfer of principal will have no tax consequences to FT. Furthermore, under §1.643(i)-3(d)(2), the por- tion of the payment that is characterized as interest by XYZ Corp will be treated as income to FT. (i) Example 8: Uncompensated use of trust property. Y, a nonresident alien, created and funded a foreign nongrantor trust, FT, for the benefit of Y’s daughter, A, a U.S. person. A is a U.S. beneficiary of FT within the meaning of §1.643(i)-1(d)(1). FT owns real property that could be rented to an unrelated person at fair market value for $10,000 a month. During all of Year 1, A lives in the property rent-free. Under §§1.643(i)-1(c) and §1.643(i)-3(a) (3), A is treated as receiving a section 643(i) distri- bution from FT in Year 1 in the amount of $120,000 (12 x $10,000). A must determine the tax conse- quences of the distribution under §1.643(i)-3(c). Under §1.6048-4(a), A must report the section 643(i) distribution on Part III of Form 3520 for Year 1 as a distribution from FT. (j) Example 9: Partially compensated use of trust property. The facts are the same as in para- graph (i) of this section (Example 8) except that A pays FT $2,000 on the first of each month for the use of the property even though the fair market value is $10,000. Under §§1.643(i)-1(c), 1.643(i)-2(a) (2), and 1.643(i)-3(a)(3), A is treated as receiving a section 643(i) distribution in Year 1 from FT in the amount of $96,000 (12 x ($10,000 - $2,000)). A must determine the tax consequences of the distribution under §1.643(i)-3(c). Under §§1.6048-4(a), A must report the entire fair market value of $120,000 on Part III of Form 3520 for Year 1 as a distribution from FT even through only a portion of the fair mar- ket value is treated as a section 643(i) distribution due to partial compensation. (k) Example 10: Uncompensated use of trust property treated as distribution from accumulated income. On January 1, Year 1, Y, a nonresident alien, creates and funds a foreign nongrantor trust, FT, for the benefit of Y’s son, X, a U.S. person. X is a U.S. beneficiary of FT within the meaning of §1.643(i)-1(d)(1). FT has $60,000 of distributable net income (DNI), as defined under section 643(a), in Year 1, $80,000 of DNI in Year 2, and $90,000 of DNI in Year 3. FT has never made any distribu- tions. FT owns real property that could be rented to an unrelated person for $10,000 a month. During all of Year 3, X occupies the property rent free. Under §1.643(i)-1(c) and §1.643(i)-3(a)(3), X is treated as receiving a section 643(i) distribution from FT in Year 3 in the amount of $120,000, the fair market value use of the trust property (12 x $10,000). Under §1.6048-4(a), X must report the section 643(i) distri- bution on Part III of Form 3520 for Year 3 as a dis- tribution from FT. X receives a Foreign Nongrantor Trust Beneficiary Statement from FT and uses the actual calculation method under §1.643(i)-3(c)(3) (i) to determine the tax consequences of the sec- tion 643(i) distribution. The $120,000 is treated as an amount properly paid, credited, or required to be distributed by the trust as described in section 662(a) (2). As a result of X’s uncompensated use of FT’s property, X’s section 643(i) distribution consists of a distribution of DNI of $90,000 (FT’s DNI in Year 3) and an accumulation distribution of $30,000 under subpart D of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code. (l) Example 11: Use of property of partial grantor trust not treated as section 643(i) distribu- tion. X and Y are married. X is a U.S. person and Y is a nonresident alien. X and Y have three children, A, B, and C. A and B are both nonresident aliens. C is a U.S. person. In Year 1, X and Y created a for- eign trust, FT, for the benefit of A and B to which X contributed a vacation home and Y contributed cash and securities. Neither X nor Y retained any powers described in sections 673 through 677. In Year 2, C lived in the vacation home rent free. Although C is not a beneficiary of FT under the terms of the trust, under §1.679-2(a)(5), C’s uncompensated use of the vacation home causes FT to be treated as having a U.S. beneficiary. Thus, under §1.679-1(a), X will be treated as the owner of the portion of FT attributable to the vacation home. Under §1.643(i)-2(c)(2), C’s use of the vacation home will be treated as the use of property from the grantor trust portion of FT. C will not be treated as receiving a section 643(i) distribu- tion. Under §§1.6048-4(a), C must report the use of the vacation home on Part III of Form 3520 for Year 2 as a distribution from FT. (m) Example 12: Use of trust property by exempt entity not treated as section 643(i) distribution. In Year 1, X, a nonresident alien, creates a foreign non- grantor trust, FT, and funds the trust with cash and a valuable painting. In Year 1, pursuant to the terms of the trust instrument, FT lends the painting to E, a U.S. organization described in section 501(c)(3) with a valid determination letter from the Commissioner. E exhibits the painting and does not reimburse FT for the use of the painting. E is not a U.S. person within the meaning of §1.643(i)-1(d)(12) because E is an entity that is exempt from tax under chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, E’s use of the painting is not a section 643(i) distribution under §1.643(i)-1(c). E’s use of the painting, however, is a distribution within the meaning of §1.6048-4(b). Nevertheless, under §1.6048-5(d), E is not required to report the use of the painting on Part III of Form 3520 because E is a section 501(c)(3) entity that has received a determination letter from the Commis- sioner that recognizes that E is exempt from Federal income tax under section 501(a) as an organization Bulletin No. 2024–24 1653 June 10, 2024 described in section 501(c)(3), and the determination letter has not been revoked. §1.643(i)-5 Applicability date. The rules of §§1.643(i)-1 through 1.643(i)-4 apply to loans of cash or mar- ketable securities made from, and to the use of any other property of, a foreign trust after the [date of publication of the final regulations in the Federal Register].

If a dual resident taxpayer (within the meaning of §301.7701(b)-7(a) (1) of this chapter) computes U.S. income tax liability as a nonresident alien on the last day of the taxable year and com- plies with the filing requirements of §301.7701(b)-7(b) and (c) of this chap- ter, the dual resident taxpayer will not be treated as a U.S. person for purposes of section 679 with respect to the portion of the taxable year the dual resident taxpayer was treated as a nonresident alien for pur- poses of computing U.S. income tax lia- bility. (B) Dual status taxpayers. If a taxpayer abandons U.S. citizenship or residence during the tax year or acquires U.S. cit- izenship or residence during the taxable year as provided in §1.6012-1(b)(2)(ii), the taxpayer will not be treated as a U.S. person with respect to the portion of the taxable year the taxpayer was treated as a nonresident alien for purposes of comput- ing U.S. income tax liability. * * * * * June 10, 2024 1654 Bulletin No. 2024–24 (6) Obligation.

Except as provided in paragraph (a)(5)(iii) of this section, any direct or indirect loan of cash or marketable secu- rities from a foreign trust or portion of a foreign trust (whether from trust corpus or income) as described in paragraph (a) (5)(ii) to, or the direct or indirect use of any other property of a foreign trust or portion of a foreign trust by, any U.S. per- son (whether or not a beneficiary under the terms of the trust) is treated as causing trust income or corpus to be paid or accu- mulated for the benefit of a U.S. person for purposes of paragraph (a)(1) of this section. For these purposes, a loan from a foreign trust to, or the use of property of a foreign trust by, a grantor trust (as defined in §1.643(i)-1(d)(5)) or a disregarded entity (as defined in §1.643(i)-1(d)(3)) is treated as a loan to or use by the owner of the grantor trust or of the disregarded entity, respectively. For example, a loan to a single member LLC treated as a dis- regarded entity is treated as a loan to the owner of the LLC. (ii) Indirect loans. For purposes of paragraph (a)(5)(i) of this section, an indi- rect loan of cash or marketable securities from a foreign trust or portion of a foreign trust includes: (A) Loans of cash or marketable secu- rities made by any person to a U.S. person, if the foreign trust provides a guarantee (within the meaning of §1.679-3(e)(4)) for the loan; and (B) Loans of cash or marketable secu- rities made from a foreign trust to a U.S. person through an intermediary, such as an agent or nominee of the foreign trust, or from a person related (within the meaning of §1.643(i)-1(d)(9)) to the foreign trust. (iii) Exceptions. Paragraph (a)(5)(i) of this section does not apply if— (A) The U.S. person who receives the loan of cash or marketable securities, or who uses trust property, is an entity described in section 501(c)(3), (B) The loan of cash received by the U.S. person is in exchange for a qual- ified obligation within the meaning of §1.643(i)-2(b)(2)(iii) (but without regard to §1.643(i)-2(b)(2)(iii)(B)(1) and (2)), or (C) The U.S. person who uses trust property, other than a loan of cash or mar- ketable securities, pays the trust the fair market value of the use of such property within a reasonable period from the date of the start of the use of the property. A determination as to the fair market value of the use of such property and as to whether a fair market value payment is made within a reasonable period will be based on all the facts and circumstances, including the type of property used and the period of use. In appropriate cases, such as rental of real property, payments may be made on a periodic basis, if doing so would be consistent with arm’s-length dealings between unrelated parties. (iv) Safe harbors. The following safe harbors apply for purposes of paragraph (a)(5)(iii)(C) of this section. (A) Reasonable period. A payment is made within a reasonable period if the payment is made or periodic payments commence within 60 days of the start of the use of trust property. (B) De minimis use. Use of trust prop- erty will be disregarded if the aggregate use by all U.S. persons (within the mean- ing of §1.679-1(c)(2)) does not exceed 14 days during the calendar year. (v) Interaction with section 643(i). If a foreign trust or a portion of a foreign trust is treated as having a U.S. beneficiary pur- suant to the rules of this paragraph (a)(5) and a U.S. transferor is thus treated as the owner of the foreign trust or a portion of the foreign trust under section 679, section 643(i) does not apply to the trust or por- tion of the trust of which the U.S. trans- feror is treated as the owner. (vi) Examples. The following examples illustrate the rules of paragraph (a)(5) of this section. In these examples, X, Y, and E are U.S. persons (within the meaning of §1.679-1(c)(2)), and FT is a foreign trust. In addition, FT’s trust instrument provides that no U.S. person can benefit either as to income or corpus of FT. (A) Example 1: Loan of cash to U.S. person. In Year 1, X transfers cash and real property to FT. X is not treated as the owner of any portion of FT under sections 673 through 679. In Year 2, Y receives a loan of cash from FT that is not in exchange for a quali- fied obligation within the meaning of §1.643(i)-2(b) (2)(iii) and thus does not qualify for the exception under paragraph (a)(5)(iii)(B) of this section. Y is not an entity described in section 501(c)(3) and thus does not qualify for the exception under paragraph (a)(5) (iii)(A) of this section. Under paragraph (a)(5) of this section, the loan is treated as paid or accumulated for the benefit of a U.S. person for purposes of para- graph (a)(1) of this section, and under §1.679-1(a), X is treated as the owner of FT. Under paragraph (c) (1) of this section, FT is treated as acquiring a U.S. beneficiary in Year 2. (B) Example 2: Use of trust property by U.S. per- son. The facts are the same as in paragraph (a)(5)(vi) (A) of this section (Example 1) except that, instead of receiving a loan of cash in Year 2, Y occupies real property owned by FT in exchange for monthly payments of $2,000. FT could rent the property to an unrelated party at fair market value for $10,000 a month. Under paragraph (a)(5) of this section, Y’s use of FT’s property is treated as paid or accumu- lated for the benefit of a U.S. person for purposes of paragraph (a)(1) of this section because Y has not paid fair market value for the use of the real property. Under §1.679-1(a), X is treated as the owner of FT. Under paragraph (c)(1) of this section, FT is treated as acquiring a U.S. beneficiary in Year 2. (C) Example 3: Use of trust property by church. In Year 1, X transfers cash and a valuable painting to FT. X is not treated as the owner of any portion of FT under sections 673 through 679. In Year 2, FT lends the painting to E, a U.S. church described in section 501(c)(3). E’s use of the painting is not treated as paid or accumulated for the benefit of a U.S. person for purposes of paragraph (a)(1) of this section because the exception in paragraph (a)(5)(iii) (A) of this section applies, and thus FT is not treated as having a U.S. beneficiary in Year 2. (D) Example 4: Indirect loan of cash to a U.S. person. In Year 1, X transfers property to FT. In Year 2, Y borrows $100,000 from Bank in exchange for an obligation that is not a qualified obligation within the Bulletin No. 2024–24 1655 June 10, 2024 meaning of §1.643(i)-2(b)(2)(iii) and thus does not qualify for the exception under paragraph (a)(5)(iii) (B) of this section. FT provides a guarantee (within the meaning of §1.679-3(e)(4)) for the loan. Under paragraph (a)(5)(ii)(A) of this section, Y is treated as receiving a loan from FT because FT guaranteed the loan from Bank to Y. Under paragraph (a)(5) of this section, the loan is treated as paid or accumu- lated for the benefit of a U.S. person for purposes of paragraph (a)(1) of this section. Under §1.679-1(a), X is treated as the owner of FT. Under paragraph (c) (1) of this section, FT is treated as acquiring a U.S. beneficiary in Year 2. (E) Example 5: Interaction of grantor trust rules with section 643(i) and with section 6048(c) informa- tion reporting. In Year 1, X created and funded a for- eign nongrantor trust, FT. During Year 1 and Year 2, FT accumulates income in the amount of $110,000. Before Year 3, neither X nor any other person is treated as owning FT under the rules of sections 673 through 679. In Year 3, Y receives a loan of $100,000 cash from FT that is not in exchange for a qualified obligation within the meaning of §1.643(i)-2(b)(2) (iii) and thus does not qualify for the exception under paragraph (a)(5)(iii)(B) of this section. Under para- graph (a)(5) of this section, the loan to Y is treated as paid for the benefit of a U.S. person for purposes of paragraph (a)(1) of this section. Under §1.679-1(a), X is now treated as the owner of FT. Under para- graph (a)(5)(v) of this section, section 643(i) does not apply to the loan from FT to Y. Under paragraph (c)(1) of this section, FT is treated as acquiring a U.S. beneficiary in Year 3. Pursuant to §1.6048-4(b) (3), Y is treated as receiving a distribution from FT and must comply with the reporting requirements in §1.6048-4 with respect to the loan. (b) * * * (3) Loans to, or uncompensated use of trust property by, indirect beneficiaries. For purposes of paragraphs (a)(1) and (a) (5) of this section, a loan of cash or market- able securities or the use of trust property shall be treated as paid or accumulated for the benefit of a U.S. person if— (i) The loan is made to, or the trust prop- erty is used by, a foreign entity described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section; or (ii) The loan is made through, or the use of trust property is made available to, an intermediary described in paragraph (b) (2) of this section, or such loan or use of trust property is made by any other means where a U.S. person may obtain an actual or constructive benefit. (4) * * * (vi) Example 6. Indirect benefit through an indi- rect loan. A, a U.S. person, transfers property to FT. The trust instrument provides that no U.S. person can benefit either as to income or corpus. However, FT maintains an account with FB, a foreign bank, and FB issues a loan to B, a U.S. person, against the account maintained by FT. Under paragraphs (a)(1), (a)(5), and (b)(3) of this section, FT is treated as hav- ing a U.S. beneficiary. * * * * * (d) Presumption that foreign trust has U.S. beneficiary—(1) In general. If a U.S. person directly or indirectly trans- fers property to a foreign trust other than a trust described in §1.679-4(a)(2) or (3), the Commissioner may treat the trust as having a U.S. beneficiary for purposes of §1.679-1(a), unless the U.S. person— (i) Satisfies the reporting requirements of §1.6048-2 with respect to the transfer; and (ii) Includes an explanatory statement attached to the U.S. person’s Federal income tax return that demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that the trust satisfies the requirements of para- graph (a)(1) of this section immediately after the transfer. (2) Authority of Commissioner to request information. The Commissioner may request information related to the trust described in paragraph (d)(1) of this section and its potential beneficiaries to determine whether the trust satisfies the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this section. Unless such additional informa- tion is provided upon the Commissioner’s written notice and request to the U.S. per- son, the trust will be deemed to have a U.S. beneficiary. The U.S. person will have 60 days (90 days if the notice is addressed to a person outside the United States) to respond to the notice and request. Par. 6. Section 1.679-4 is amended by revising paragraph (d) to read as follows: §1.679-4 Exceptions to general rule. * * * * * (d) Qualified obligations—(1) In gen- eral—(i) Requirements of the obligation. For purposes of this section, an obligation is treated as a qualified obligation only if the obligation at all times satisfies all of the following requirements— (A) The obligation is reduced to writ- ing in an express written agreement; (B) The term of the obligation does not exceed five years. For purposes of deter- mining the term of an obligation, the obli- gation’s maturity date is the last possible date that the obligation can be outstanding under the terms of the obligation; (C) All payments on the obligation must be made in cash in U.S. dollars; (D) The obligation is issued at par and provides for stated interest at a fixed rate or a qualified floating rate within the meaning of §1.1275-5(b); (E) The yield to maturity of the obli- gation is not less than 100 percent of the applicable Federal rate and not greater than 130 percent of the applicable Fed- eral rate. The applicable Federal rate for an obligation is the applicable Federal rate in effect under section 1274(d) for the day on which the obligation is issued, as published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin (see §601.601(d)(2) of this chapter). The yield to maturity and the applicable Fed- eral rate must be based on the same com- pounding period. If an obligation is a vari- able rate debt instrument that provides for stated interest at a qualified floating rate, the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument rules in §1.1274-2(f)(1) or §1.1275-5(e), whichever is applicable, apply to deter- mine the obligation’s yield to maturity; and (F) All stated interest on the obliga- tion is qualified stated interest within the meaning of §1.1273-1(c). (ii) Additional requirements to remain a qualified obligation. An obligation will remain a qualified obligation only if, for the first year and each succeeding year that the obligation remains outstanding, the trust timely makes all payments of principal and interest on the obligation according to the terms of the obligation (which may include a reasonable grace period of no more than thirty days for a late payment) and the U.S. transferor ful- fills the requirements of this paragraph (d) (1)(ii): (A) The U.S. transferor timely extends the period for assessment of any income tax attributable to the obligation and any consequent income tax changes for each year that the obligation is outstanding to a date not earlier than three years after the maturity date of the obligation. This extension of the period for assessment is not necessary with respect to the tax- able year of the U.S. transferor in which the maturity date of the obligation falls, provided that the obligation is paid in cash in U.S. dollars within that year. The period of assessment is extended by completing and filing Part I of Form 3520, Annual Return to Report Trans- actions with Foreign Trusts and Receipt of Certain Foreign Gifts, for every year that the obligation is outstanding. Part June 10, 2024 1656 Bulletin No. 2024–24 I of Form 3520 also may contain such other terms with respect to assessment as may be considered necessary by the Commissioner to ensure the assessment and collection of the correct tax liabil- ity for each year for which the extension of the period of assessment is required. When Part I of Form 3520 is properly executed and filed, the consent to extend the period for assessment of tax will be deemed to be agreed upon and executed by the Commissioner for purposes of §301.6501(c)-1(d); and (B) The U.S. transferor timely reports the status of the obligation, including prin- cipal and interest payments, on Part I of Form 3520 for each year that the obliga- tion is outstanding. (2) Modification of a qualified obli- gation. If the terms of a qualified obliga- tion are modified and the modification is treated as an exchange under §1.1001-3, the new obligation that is deemed issued in the exchange under §1.1001-3 must sat- isfy all the requirements in paragraph (d) (1) of this section to be a qualified obli- gation using the original obligation’s issue date. If the modification is not treated as an exchange under §1.1001-3, then the obligation must be retested as of the date of the modification to determine whether the obligation, as modified, continues to satisfy the requirements in paragraph (d) (1) of this section to be a qualified obli- gation. (3) Additional loans. If a qualified obligation is outstanding and the U.S. transferor directly or indirectly obtains an additional obligation issued by the foreign trust in exchange for cash, or if the U.S. transferor directly or indirectly obtains an additional obligation issued by a per- son related to the trust, the outstanding obligation is deemed to have the maturity date of the additional obligation in deter- mining whether the outstanding obligation exceeds the specified five-year term. The outstanding obligation must be retested as of the issue date of the additional obliga- tion to determine whether it would have satisfied, as of the outstanding obliga- tion’s issue date, all the requirements in paragraph (d)(1) of this section to be a qualified obligation. If there is more than one qualified obligation outstanding, the determination is made based on the out- standing obligation with the earliest issue date. The additional obligation also must be separately tested to see if it satisfies the requirements of (d)(1) of this section to be a qualified obligation. (4) Anti-abuse rule. Notwithstanding paragraphs (2) and (3) of this section, if the Commissioner determines, based on all the facts and circumstances, that two or more obligations issued by a foreign trust or a person related to the trust are struc- tured with a principal purpose to avoid the application of section 679, the Commis- sioner may treat the obligations as a single obligation that is not a qualified obliga- tion. (5) Obligations that cease to be quali- fied—(i) In general. If an obligation ceases to be a qualified obligation (for example, because an obligation is modified so that the term exceeds 5 years), the U.S. trans- feror is treated as making a transfer to the foreign trust. (ii) Amount transferred to the trust. The amount that the U.S. transferor is treated as having transferred to the trust will be equal to the obligation’s outstanding stated principal amount plus any accrued but unpaid qualified stated interest (within the meaning of §1.1273-1(c)) as of the date of the event that causes the obligation to no longer be a qualified obligation. In the case of an obligation that ceases to be a qualified obligation because the Commis- sioner treats two or more obligations as a single obligation pursuant to paragraph (d)(4) of this section, the U.S. transferor is treated as making a transfer to the trust in an amount not to exceed the sum of the outstanding stated principal amount of the obligations plus any accrued but unpaid qualified stated interest for each of the obligations as of the date determined by the Commissioner under paragraph (d)(5) (iii) of this section. (iii) Timing of transfers resulting from failed qualified obligations. In general, a U.S. transferor is treated as making a transfer to the foreign trust on the date of the event that causes an obligation to no longer be a qualified obligation. How- ever, based on all of the facts and circum- stances, if an obligation (or obligations) is structured with a principal purpose to avoid the application of section 679, the Commissioner may deem a transfer to have occurred on any date on or after the issue date of the obligation(s). (6) Examples. The following example illustrates the rules of this paragraph (d). In these examples, A and B are U.S. resi- dents and FT is a foreign trust. (i) Example 1: Demand loan. A is a related per- son (as defined in §1.679-1(c)(5)) with respect to FT. A transfers $50,000 to FT in exchange for a demand note that permits A to require repayment by FT at any time. Because FT’s obligation to A could remain outstanding for more than five years, the obligation is not a qualified obligation within the meaning of paragraph (d)(1) of this section and, pursuant to para- graph (c) of this section, it is not taken into account for purposes of determining whether A’s transfer is eligible for the fair market value exception of para- graph (a)(4) of this section. Accordingly, §1.679-1 applies to treat A as the owner of the portion of FT attributable to the full $50,000 transfer to FT. (ii) Example 2: Private annuity. A is a related person (as defined in §1.679-1(c)(5)) with respect to FT. A transfers $40,000 to FT in exchange for an annuity from FT that will pay A $100x per year for the rest of A’s life. Because FT’s obligation to A could remain outstanding for more than five years, the obligation is not a qualified obligation within the meaning of paragraph (d)(1) of this section and, pur- suant to paragraph (c) of this section, it is not taken into account for purposes of determining whether A’s transfer is eligible for the fair market value excep- tion of paragraph (a)(4) of this section. Accordingly, §1.679-1 applies to treat A as the owner of the por- tion of FT attributable to the full $40,000 transfer to FT. (iii) Example 3: Transfer to unrelated foreign trust in exchange for an obligation. B is not a related person (as defined in §1.679-1(c)(5)) with respect to FT. B transfers $10,000 to FT in exchange for an obligation of the trust. The term of the obligation is fifteen years. Because B is not a related person with respect to FT, paragraph (c) of this section does not apply. The fair market value of the obligation received by B is taken into account for purposes of the fair market value exception of paragraph (a)(4) of this section even though the obligation is not a qualified obligation within the meaning of paragraph (d)(1) of this section. (iv) Example 4: Transfer for an obligation with term in excess of 5 years. A is a related person (as defined in §1.679-1(c)(5)) with respect to FT. A trans- fers property that has a fair market value of $50,000 to FT in exchange for an obligation of FT. The term of the obligation is ten years. Because the term of the obligation exceeds five years, the obligation is not a qualified obligation within the meaning of paragraph (d)(1) of this section, and pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section, it is not taken into account for pur- poses of determining whether A’s transfer is eligible for the fair market value exception of paragraph (a) (4) of this section. Accordingly, §1.679-1 applies to treat A as the owner of the portion of FT attributable to the full $50,000 transfer to FT. (v) Example 5: Transfer for a qualified obliga- tion. The facts are the same as in paragraph (d)(6) (iv) of this section (Example 4), except that the term of the obligation is three years. Assuming the other requirements of paragraph (d)(1) of this section are satisfied, the obligation is a qualified obligation, and its stated principal amount is taken into account for Bulletin No. 2024–24 1657 June 10, 2024 purposes of determining whether A’s transfer is eligi- ble for the fair market value exception of paragraph (a)(4) of this section. (vi) Example 6: Effect of modification treated as an exchange. A is a related person (as defined in §1.679-1(c)(5)) with respect to FT. A transfers property that has a fair market value of $10,000 to FT in exchange for an obligation with a term of four years that satisfies the requirements of paragraph (d)(1) of this section. Two years later, a significant modification of the obligation within the meaning of §1.1001-3, including an extension of the obli- gation by an additional term of three years, occurs, and the modification is treated as an exchange under §1.1001-3. The new obligation that is deemed issued in the exchange under §1.1001-3 must satisfy the requirements of paragraph (d)(1) of this section to be a qualified obligation as of the original obliga- tion’s issue date. Because the new obligation would not satisfy the five-year requirement of paragraph (d) (1), the obligation ceases to be treated as a qualified obligation. (vii) Example 7: Effect of subsequent obliga- tion on original obligation. A is a related person (as defined in §1.679-1(c)(5)) with respect to FT. On January 1, Year 1, A transfers $100,000 to FT in exchange for Obligation 1 from FT, an obliga- tion with a maturity date of January 1, Year 6, that satisfies the requirements of paragraph (d)(1) of this section. On June 30, Year 1, A transfers an additional $50,000 to FT in exchange for Obligation 2, an obli- gation with a maturity date of June 30, Year 6, that independently satisfies the requirements of paragraph (d)(1) of this section. Under paragraph (d)(3) of this section, Obligation 1 will be deemed to have a matu- rity date of June 30, Year 6 (i.e., a greater than five- year term) and will cease to be a qualified obligation under paragraph (d)(1) of this section. Pursuant to paragraph (c) of this section, because Obligation 1 is not a qualified obligation, it is not taken into account for purposes of determining whether A’s transfer of $100,000 is eligible for the fair market value excep- tion of paragraph (a)(4) of this section. Accordingly, §1.679-1 applies to treat A as the owner of the por- tion of FT attributable to the $100,000 transferred to FT. Obligation 2 is separately tested to determine whether it satisfies the qualified obligation rules of paragraph (d)(1) of this section and to the extent it does, A is treated as eligible for the fair market value exception of paragraph (a)(4) of this section and is not treated as the owner of the portion of FT attribut- able to the $50,000 transferred to FT. Par. 7. Section 1.679-7 is amended by: a. Revising the section heading. b. Adding paragraphs (b)(4) through (b)(7). The revision and additions read as fol- lows: §1.679-7 Applicability dates. * * * * * (b) * * * (4) The amendments to §§1.679-1(c) (2) and 1.679-1(c)(6) apply for taxable years beginning after the [date of publica- tion of the final regulations in the Federal Register]. (5) The rules of §1.679-2(a)(5) apply to loans and the use of trust property after the [date of publication of the final regula- tions in the Federal Register]. (6) The rules of §1.679-2(d) apply to transfers of property after the [date of publication of the final regulations in the Federal Register]. (7) Section 1.679-4(d) applies to obli- gations issued or modified after the [date of publication of the final regulations in the Federal Register]. If an obligation issued on or before the [date of publica- tion of the final regulations in the Federal Register] is modified after that date, and the modification is a significant modifica- tion under §1.1001-3, the new obligation that is deemed issued in the exchange is treated as issued after the [date of publi- cation of the final regulations in the Fed- eral Register]. If the modification is not a significant modification under §1.1001- 3, then the original obligation must be retested as of the date of the modification to determine whether the obligation, as modified, satisfies the requirements in paragraph (d)(1), as amended, to be a qualified obligation. Par. 8. Section 1.6039F-1 is added to read as follows: §1.6039F-1 U.S. recipients of foreign gifts. (a) Reporting of foreign gifts—(1) In general. Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, and subject to para- graph (a)(2) and (3) of this section, each U.S. person (within the meaning of sec- tion 7701(a)(30)) who receives a foreign gift (within the meaning of paragraph (b) of this section) during a taxable year must report such gift (including the addi- tional information required under para- graph (c) of this section if, after apply- ing the aggregation rules, the foreign gift exceeds certain reporting thresholds) on Part IV of Form 3520, Annual Return To Report Transactions With Foreign Trusts and Receipt of Certain Foreign Gifts, by the fifteenth day of the fourth month after the close of the U.S. person’s taxable year. In the case of a U.S. person who has been granted an extension of time to file the U.S. person’s income tax return pursuant to section 6081, an extension of time for filing Form 3520 is granted to the fifteenth day of the tenth month following the close of the U.S. person’s taxable year. No further extension of time to file Form 3520 is allowed. For special rules concerning the treatment of dual resident taxpayers (within the meaning of §301.7701(b)-7(a)(1) of this chapter) and dual status taxpayers (described in §1.6012-1(b)(2)(ii)) as U.S. persons for purposes of this section, see paragraph (f) of this section. (2) Reporting by U.S. citizens and residents residing abroad. In the case of a U.S. person who is an individual and who qualifies for an automatic extension to file their income tax return under sec- tion 6081 and §1.6081-5(a)(5) because the U.S. person resides outside of the United States and Puerto Rico and the U.S. per- son’s main place of business or post of duty is outside of the United States and Puerto Rico, the U.S. person must report the foreign gifts received by the U.S. per- son during the taxable year on Part IV of Form 3520 by the fifteenth day of the sixth month after the close of the U.S. person’s taxable year. If the U.S. person has been granted an extension of time to file the U.S. person’s income tax return pursuant to section 6081, an extension of time for filing Form 3520 is granted to the fifteenth day of the tenth month following the close of the U.S. person’s taxable year. No addi- tional extension of time to file Form 3520 is allowed. (3) Reporting for deceased U.S. per- sons. In the case of a deceased U.S. per- son, the executor (within the meaning of section 2203) of the U.S. person’s estate must report the foreign gifts received by the U.S. person during the U.S. person’s final taxable year on Part IV of Form 3520 by the fifteenth day of the fourth month following the close of the 12-month period which began with the first day of the U.S. person’s final taxable year. If the executor of the U.S. person’s estate has been granted an extension of time to file the U.S. person’s final income tax return pursuant to section 6081, an extension of time for filing Form 3520 is granted to the fifteenth day of the tenth month fol- lowing the close of the 12-month period which began with the first day of the U.S. person’s final taxable year. No additional June 10, 2024 1658 Bulletin No. 2024–24 extension of time to file Form 3520 is allowed. (b) Definition of foreign gift—(1) In general. The term foreign gift means any amount received from a non-U.S. person that the recipient (including a spouse) treats as a gift, bequest, devise, or inher- itance for income tax purposes, but does not include any qualified transfer within the meaning of section 2503(e)(2) (relat- ing to certain transfers for educational or medical expenses) or any transfer that is treated as a distribution (within the mean- ing of §1.6048-4(b)) from a foreign trust and that is reported on a return under §1.6048-4. A U.S. person who receives a transfer from a foreign trust must treat that transfer as a distribution from the trust that is reportable under §1.6048-4, rather than as a foreign gift that is reportable under paragraph (a) of this section, even if the U.S. person treats the transfer as a gift for another purpose (such as computing the person’s Federal income tax liability). For example, although a covered gift or bequest described in section 2801(e) is a foreign gift, a U.S. person who receives a covered gift or bequest from a foreign trust must report the covered gift or bequest as a distribution (within the meaning of §1.6048-4(b)) under §1.6048-4. (2) Anti-avoidance rule. The term for- eign gift includes any amount received by a U.S. person from a non-U.S. person that meets all of the following requirements— (i) Based on all the facts and circum- stances, the Commissioner determines that the amount received is in substance a gift; (ii) The recipient does not treat the amount received as a gift, bequest, devise, or inheritance; and (iii) The recipient does not treat the amount received as taxable income (such as a purported loan). (c) Exceptions—(1) Section 501(c) recipient. Paragraph (a) of this section does not apply if the recipient of the for- eign gift is an organization described in section 501(c) and exempt from tax under section 501(a). (2) Reporting threshold rules—(i) Foreign gifts from foreign individuals or foreign estates—(A) Reporting threshold. Except as provided in paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this section, paragraph (a) of this section does not apply to a foreign gift received by a U.S. person from a non-U.S. person who is an individual (a foreign individual) or a foreign estate (within the meaning of section 7701(a)(31)(A)) if, during the U.S. person’s taxable year, the aggregate amount of foreign gifts received, directly or indirectly, from that foreign individual or foreign estate (the transferor) does not exceed $100,000, as modified by cost-of- living adjustments pursuant to paragraph (c)(2)(v) of this section. (B) Aggregation rule. To determine whether paragraph (c)(2)(i)(A) of this sec- tion applies to foreign gifts received from a transferor, each U.S. person must aggre- gate foreign gifts, including covered gifts and bequests described in section 2801(e), received from all foreign individuals, for- eign estates, and any other foreign person (such as corporations or partnerships) that the U.S. person knows or has reason to know are related to the transferor within the meaning of §1.643(i)-1(d)(9). If the aggregate amount of all these foreign gifts exceeds the $100,000 reporting threshold, the U.S. person must separately iden- tify each foreign gift in excess of $5,000 received from the transferor and from each foreign person related to the trans- feror and must provide identifying infor- mation (for example, name and address) about the transferor and each such foreign person, including a foreign individual or a foreign estate. (ii) Covered gifts and bequests. Subject to paragraph (h)(2) of this section, para- graph (a) of this section does not apply to a foreign gift that is a covered gift or bequest described in section 2801(e) if the aggregate amount of covered gifts and bequests received by the U.S. person during the calendar year does not exceed the section 2801(c) amount, which is the dollar amount of the per-donee exclu- sion in effect under section 2503(b). For purposes of this paragraph (c)(2)(ii), the aggregate amount of covered gifts and bequests received by the U.S. person during the calendar year does not include transfers from a foreign trust (as described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section), as such transfers are reportable as distribu- tions (within the meaning of §1.6048- 4(b)) under §1.6048-4. (iii) Other foreign gifts—(A) Reporting threshold. Paragraph (a) of this section does not apply to a foreign gift received by a U.S. person from a foreign corpora- tion or a foreign partnership if, during the U.S. person’s taxable year, the aggregate amount of foreign gifts from that corpora- tion or partnership (the transferor), when aggregated with foreign gifts received from other foreign persons that the U.S. person knows or has reason to know are related to the transferor as described in paragraph (c)(2)(iii)(B) of this section, does not exceed $10,000, as modified by cost-of-living adjustments pursuant to paragraph (c)(2)(v) of this section. (B) Aggregation rule. To determine whether paragraph (c)(2)(iii)(A) of this section applies to foreign gifts from a transferor, the U.S. person must aggregate foreign gifts received from all foreign cor- porations, foreign partnerships, and any other foreign person that the U.S. person knows or has reason to know are related to the transferor within the meaning of §1.643(i)-1(d)(9). If the aggregate amount of these foreign gifts exceeds the report- ing threshold, the U.S. person must sep- arately identify each foreign gift from the transferor and from each foreign person related to the transferor and provide iden- tifying information (for example, name and address) about the transferor and each such foreign person, including a foreign individual or foreign estate. (iv) Joint returns. In the case of mar- ried U.S. persons who file joint income tax returns under section 6013 for a tax year, the reporting threshold under paragraph (c)(2)(i)(A) of this section applies sepa- rately to each spouse. Thus, married U.S. persons who file a joint income tax return will not be subject to paragraph (a) of this section if the aggregate amount of foreign gifts received by each spouse, directly or indirectly from any one foreign individual or foreign estate, taking into account the aggregation rule of paragraph (c)(2)(i)(B) of this section, does not exceed $100,000 during the taxable year. (v) Cost-of-living adjustments. The reporting thresholds under paragraph (c)(2)(i)(A) and under paragraph (c)(2) (iii)(A) of this section are increased by an amount equal to the product of the amounts specified in such paragraphs and the cost-of-living adjustment for the tax- able year of the gift under section 1(f)(3), except that paragraph (A)(ii) thereof is applied by substituting “1995” for “2016.” Bulletin No. 2024–24 1659 June 10, 2024 (d) Valuation principles. The amount of a foreign gift is the value of the prop- erty at the time of its transfer. The value of the property is the price at which such property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or to sell, and both having reasonable knowl- edge of relevant facts. Accordingly, the value of the property is determined in accordance with the Federal gift tax val- uation principles of section 2512 and sec- tions 2701 through 2704 (chapter 14 of the Internal Revenue Code) and the reg- ulations under section 2512 and sections 2701 through 2704 in this part. (e) Penalty for failure to file infor- mation—(1) In general. If a U.S. person fails to furnish information required under paragraph (a) of this section with respect to any foreign gift by the due date pro- vided under paragraph (a)— (i) The tax consequences of the receipt of such foreign gift may be determined by the Commissioner based on all the facts and circumstances, and (ii) Notwithstanding the tax conse- quences under paragraph (e)(1)(i) of this section, such U.S. person must pay (upon notice and demand by the Commissioner and in the same manner as tax) an amount equal to 5 percent of the amount of such foreign gift for each month (or portion thereof) for which the failure to report the foreign gift as a gift on Form 3520 con- tinues (not to exceed 25 percent of such amount in the aggregate). (2) Reasonable cause exception. Para- graph (e)(1) of this section will not apply to any failure to report a foreign gift if the U.S. person submits a reasonable cause statement to the Commissioner under pen- alties of perjury and demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that the failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. The determination of whether a taxpayer acted with reason- able cause and not with willful neglect is made under the principles set out in §1.6664-4 and §301.6651-1(c). This deter- mination is made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account all pertinent facts and circumstances. (f) Special rules—(1) Dual resident taxpayers. If a dual resident taxpayer (within the meaning of §301.7701(b)-7(a) (1) of this chapter) computes U.S. income tax liability as a nonresident alien on the last day of the taxable year and com- plies with the filing requirements of §301.7701(b)-7(b) and (c) of this chap- ter, the dual resident taxpayer will not be treated as a U.S. person for purposes of section 6039F with respect to the portion of the taxable year the dual resident tax- payer was treated as a nonresident alien for purposes of computing U.S. income tax liability. (2) Dual status taxpayers. If a taxpayer abandons U.S. citizenship or residence during the taxable year or acquires U.S. citizenship or residence during the tax- able year as provided in §1.6012-1(b)(2) (ii), the taxpayer will not be treated as a U.S. person with respect to the portion of the taxable year the taxpayer is treated as a nonresident alien for purposes of comput- ing U.S. income tax liability. (g) Examples. The following examples illustrate the rules of this section. In these examples and unless otherwise stated, assume that the reporting threshold under paragraph (c)(2)(i)(A) of this section is $100,000: (1) Example 1: Qualified transfer exception. X, a U.S. person, attends Private University, an accred- ited college in the United States. X’s grandparents, who are not U.S. persons, pay X’s tuition directly to Private University. The tuition payment is a qual- ified transfer within the meaning of section 2503(e) (2). Under paragraph (b)(1) of this section, X is not treated as receiving a foreign gift from X’s grand- parents. Accordingly, X is not required to report the tuition payment under paragraph (a) of this section. (2) Example 2: Charitable donee. XYZ, a U.S. person, is an organization described in section 501(c) and is exempt from tax under section 501(a). XYZ receives a bequest of $200,000 from a foreign estate. Because XYZ meets the exception under paragraph (c)(1) of this section for organizations described in section 501(c) and exempt from tax under section 501(a), XYZ is not required to report the bequest under paragraph (a) of this section. (3) Example 3: Gift from dual resident taxpayer. X is a lawful permanent resident of the United States within the meaning of §301.7701(b)-1(b) of this chapter and is a resident of Country F under the domestic law of Country F. X is a resident of Coun- try F under the residence article of the U.S.-Country F income tax treaty and notifies the United States by taking such a position on Form 1040NR and Form 8833 for Year 1. Pursuant to §301.7701(b)-7 of this chapter, X is treated as a nonresident alien for pur- poses of computing X’s U.S. income tax liability for Year 1. During Year 1, X makes a gift of $150,000 to Y, a U.S. citizen. Under paragraph (f)(1) of this sec- tion, X is not treated as a U.S. person for purposes of this section. Because X is not treated as a U.S. person for Year 1, the gift is a foreign gift within the mean- ing of paragraph (b) of this section. Y must report the foreign gift on Part IV of Form 3520 under paragraph (a) of this section. (4) Example 4: Gifts from related foreign indi- viduals. X, a U.S. citizen, is married to Y, a nonres- ident alien. Y has three brothers, A, B, and C, who also are nonresident aliens. In Year 1, Y makes a gift of $90,000 to X, A makes a gift of $40,000 to X, B makes two gifts to X (one of $4,000 and one of $3,000), and C makes a gift of $4,000 to X. X knows or has reason to know that A, B, and C are related to Y within the meaning of §1.643(i)-1(d)(9). X treats all five transfers as gifts. Under paragraphs (c)(2)(i)(A) and (B) of this section, to calculate the $100,000 reporting threshold, X must aggregate for- eign gifts from Y, A, B, and C. For Year 1, X must report the receipt of $141,000 in foreign gifts. In addition, under paragraphs (a) and (c)(2)(i)(B) of this section, X must separately identify and report information regarding the $90,000 foreign gift from Y, the $40,000 foreign gift from A, and the aggre- gated $7,000 foreign gifts from B because each per- son’s foreign gift for Year 1 exceeds $5,000. X is not required to identify the $4,000 gift from C separately because it does not exceed $5,000. (5) Example 5: Covered gift within meaning of section 2801(e). Z is a resident of Country F and relinquishes U.S. citizenship on July 1, Year 1, becoming a covered expatriate within the meaning of section 877A(g)(1). On December 31, Year 10, a date after the date final regulations under section 2801 are published in the Federal Register, Z gives $50,000 to Z’s son, X, who is a U.S. person. The transfer is a covered gift within the meaning of section 2801(e) and a foreign gift within the meaning of paragraph (b) of this section. Because the value of the foreign gift exceeds the threshold specified in paragraph (c) (2)(ii) of this section (assuming that for Year 10 this amount is under $50,000), X must report receipt of the foreign gift on Part IV of Form 3520 under para- graph (a) of this section. X also is subject to tax and separate reporting requirements under section 2801. (6) Example 6: Gifts from foreign individual and related corporation. X, a U.S. citizen, is married to Y, a nonresident alien. Y is the sole shareholder of FC, a foreign corporation. During Year 1, Y makes a gift of $11,000 to X, and FC makes a gift of $9,000 to X. Because X knows or has reason to know that Y and FC are related, X must aggregate the gifts from Y and FC ($20,000). Although the $20,000 aggregate amount deemed received from Y does not exceed the $100,000 reporting threshold with respect to foreign gifts from foreign individuals, the $20,000 aggregate amount received from FC exceeds the applicable reporting threshold for foreign gifts from foreign corporations under paragraph (c)(2)(iii) of this sec- tion for Year 1 (assume that for Year 1 this amount is $18,000). Accordingly, X must report receipt of the foreign gift on Part IV of Form 3520 under paragraph (a) of this section. In addition, X must separately identify each foreign gift from Y and FC and must provide identifying information about Y and FC. (7) Example 7: Penalties for failure to report information. The facts are the same as in paragraph (g)(6) of this section (Example 6). X fails to report the amounts received from Y and FC on Form 3520 and does not demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that such failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. Under para- June 10, 2024 1660 Bulletin No. 2024–24 graph (e)(1)(i) of this section and §1.672(f)-4(a)(2), the Commissioner may determine that, based on all the facts and circumstances, the gift of $9,000 from FC to X should be treated as a dividend from FC to X and included in X’s gross income. Under paragraph (e)(1)(i) of this section, the Commissioner also may determine that there are no tax consequences to X upon receiving the gift of $11,000 from Y. Without regard to the tax consequences determined under paragraph (e)(1)(i) of this section, under paragraph (e)(1)(ii) of this section, X must pay (upon notice and demand by the Commissioner and in the same manner as tax) $1,000, an amount equal to 5 percent of the aggregate amount of $20,000 for each month for which the failure to disclose the foreign gifts on Form 3520 continues (not to exceed $5,000, an amount equal to 25 percent of the aggregate amount of $20,000). (h) Applicability date—(1) In general. Except as provided in paragraph (h)(2) of this section, the rules of this section apply to amounts received after the [date of pub- lication of the final regulations in the Fed- eral Register]. (2) Covered gifts and bequests. Para- graph (c)(2)(ii) of this section is effective on the date final regulations under section 2801 are published in the Federal Regis- ter and applies to covered gifts or bequests received on or after that date. Par. 9. Sections 1.6048-1 through 1.6048-7 are added to read as follows: §1.6048-1 Scope. (a) In general.

Section 1.6048-2 pro- vides rules requiring a responsible party to provide notice of a reportable event that occurs during the taxable year with respect to a foreign trust. Section 1.6048-3 provides rules applicable to a U.S. owner of a foreign trust to ensure that the trust provides certain information about the trust’s activities and operations for the year to the Commissioner and to any U.S. person (within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30)) who is treated as an owner of the trust or who receives a distribution from the trust. Section 1.6048-4 provides rules requiring a U.S. person to report the receipt of a distribution from a foreign trust during the U.S. person’s taxable year. Section 1.6048-5 provides exceptions to the rules of §§1.6048-2 through 1.6048- 4. Section 1.6048-6 provides certain spe- cial rules, including rules concerning dual resident taxpayers (within the meaning of §301.7701(b)-7(a)(1) of this chapter) and dual status taxpayers (described in §1.6012-1(b)(2)(ii)) who compute their U.S. income tax liability as nonresident aliens for part or all of the taxable year. Section 1.6048-7 provides applicability dates. For civil penalties that apply for failure to comply with the requirements of §§1.6048-2 through 1.6048-4, see §1.6677-1.

(a) In general—(1) Filing requirement. Unless an exception in §1.6048-5 applies, a responsible party (as defined in para- graph (c) of this section) must provide written notice of any reportable event (as defined in paragraph (b) of this section) that occurs during the taxable year of the U.S. person described in paragraph (b) of this section on Part I of Form 3520, Annual Return To Report Transactions With For- eign Trusts and Receipt of Certain Foreign Gifts. If a responsible party must report a reportable event with regard to more than one foreign trust during the taxable year, the responsible party must file a separate Form 3520 for each such foreign trust. See §§1.679-1 and 1.684-1 for additional rules regarding transfers to foreign trusts by U.S. persons. See §1.6048-6(d) for infor- mation reporting by married U.S. persons who file a joint income tax return. (2) Due dates—(i) General rule. Sub- ject to paragraph (a)(2)(ii) and (iii) of this section, the responsible party must file Form 3520 by the fifteenth day of the fourth month after the close of the respon- sible party’s taxable year. If the responsi- ble party has been granted an extension of time to file the responsible party’s income tax return pursuant to section 6081, an extension of time for filing Form 3520 is granted to the fifteenth day of the tenth month following the close of the respon- sible party’s taxable year. No additional extension of time to file Form 3520 is allowed beyond the fifteenth day of the tenth month following the close of the responsible party’s taxable year. (ii) Filing by U.S. persons residing outside the United States. In the case of a grantor or transferor (described in paragraph (c)(1) or (c)(2) of this section, respectively) who qualifies for an auto- matic extension to file the grantor’s or transferor’s income tax return under sec- tion 6081 and §1.6081-5(a)(5) because the grantor or transferor resides outside of the United States and Puerto Rico and the grantor’s or transferor’s main place of business or post of duty is outside of the United States and Puerto Rico, the grantor or transferor must file Form 3520 by the fifteenth day of the sixth month after the close of the grantor’s or transferor’s tax- able year. If the grantor or transferor has Bulletin No. 2024–24 1661 June 10, 2024 been granted an extension of time to file the grantor’s or transferor’s income tax return pursuant to section 6081, an extension of time for filing Form 3520 is granted to the fifteenth day of the tenth month following the close of the grantor’s or transferor’s taxable year. No additional extension of time to file Form 3520 is allowed. (iii) Filing by executor of grantor’s or transferor’s estate. In the case of a deceased grantor or transferor, the exec- utor of the grantor’s or transferor’s estate (within the meaning of paragraph (c)(3) of this section) must file Form 3520 by the fifteenth day of the fourth month fol- lowing the close of the 12-month period which began with the first day of the grantor’s or transferor’s final taxable year. If the executor of the grantor’s or transferor’s estate has been granted an extension of time to file the grantor’s or transferor’s final income tax return pur- suant to section 6081, an extension of time for filing Form 3520 is granted to the fifteenth day of the tenth month fol- lowing the close of the 12-month period which began with the first day of the grantor’s or transferor’s final taxable year. No additional extension of time to file Form 3520 is allowed. (b) Reportable event. Subject to §1.6048-5, for purposes of this section, the term reportable event means any of the events described in paragraphs (b)(1) through (3): (1) The creation of any foreign trust by any U.S. person. (2) Any direct, indirect, or constructive transfer, within the meaning of §1.679-3 or §1.684-2, of property (including cash) to a foreign trust by a U.S. person, including a transfer by reason of death. In addition, a reportable event includes an outbound migration of a domestic trust, as described in §1.684-4, without regard to whether any gain is taxable under §1.684-1, and a U.S. person’s transfer of property in exchange for any obligation of the foreign trust or of a person related to the trust, as described in §1.679-4, without regard to whether the obligation is a qualified obligation. (3) The death of a citizen or resident of the United States if— (i) The decedent was treated as the owner of any portion of a foreign trust under subpart E of part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code, or (ii) Any portion of a foreign trust was included in the gross estate of the dece- dent for Federal estate tax purposes. (c) Responsible party. For purposes of this section, the term responsible party means each of the following: (1) The grantor (within the meaning of §1.671-2(e)) in the case of the creation of an inter vivos trust. (2) The transferor in the case of a reportable event described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section other than a transfer by reason of death. (3) The executor of the deceased grant- or’s or transferor’s estate in any other case (whether or not the executor is a U.S. per- son). (d) Examples. The following examples illustrate the rules of this section. (1) Example 1: Creation and funding of foreign trust. A, an attorney, creates a foreign trust, FT, on behalf of B, A’s client. A and B are both U.S. persons. Shortly thereafter, B transfers $100x to FT. A and B are both grantors of FT under §1.671-2(e), even though only B transferred property to FT. Under paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the creation of FT is a reportable event, and under paragraph (c)(1) of this section, A and B are responsible parties. Under paragraph (b)(2) of this section, the funding of FT is a reportable event, and under paragraph (c)(2) of this section, B is the responsible party. Accordingly, under paragraph (a) of this section, A must report the creation of FT and B must report the creation and the transfer to FT, respectively, on Part I of Form 3520. (2) Example 2: Transfers to two foreign trusts. The facts are the same as in paragraph (d)(1) of this section (Example 1). B also transfers $100x to a sec- ond foreign trust, FT2, during the same taxable year. Under paragraph (a)(1) of this section, B must file two Forms 3520, one for the creation and funding of FT and one for the funding of FT2. (3) Example 3: Transfer by domestic trust to for- eign trust. Under the grantor trust rules, B is treated as the owner of a domestic trust, DT. B is a U.S. person and funds DT with $1,000x. Subsequently, B causes DT to transfer $600x to FT, an existing foreign trust. Under §1.679-3(b), B is treated as transferring $600x to FT. Under paragraph (b)(2) of this section, the transfer is a reportable event. Under paragraph (c)(2) of this section, B is a responsible party. Accordingly, under paragraph (a) of this sec- tion, B is required to report the transfer to FT on Part I of Form 3520. (4) Example 4: Transfer by reason of death. C, a U.S. person who files on a calendar year basis, is treated as the owner of a domestic trust, DT, under the grantor trust rules. The trust instrument provides that, upon C’s death, DT will terminate and the trustee must distribute the trust corpus to a foreign trust, FT, for the benefit of C’s children. C dies in Year 1. The trustee of DT distributes the trust corpus to FT in Year 1. The transfer to FT is a reportable event under paragraph (b)(2) of this section as a transfer by reason of C’s death. Under paragraph (c) (3) of this section, the executor of C’s estate is the responsible party. Accordingly, under paragraph (a) of this section, the executor of C’s estate is required to report the transfer on Part I of Form 3520 by April 15, Year 2, the fifteenth day of the fourth month after the close of the 12-month period which began with the first day of C’s final taxable year, as described in paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section. If C’s executor is granted an extension of time to file C’s final income tax return, then C’s Form 3520 will have a 6-month extension and be due by October 15, Year 2. (5) Example 5: Death of U.S. citizen who was the owner of a foreign trust. The facts are the same as in paragraph (d)(4) of this section (Example 4), except that C dies in Year 1 while C is treated as the owner of FT. Under paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this sec- tion, C’s death is a reportable event. Under paragraph (c)(3) of this section, the executor of C’s estate is a responsible party. Accordingly, under paragraph (a) of this section, the executor of C’s estate is required to report C’s death on Form 3520 by April 15, Year 2, the fifteenth day of the fourth month after the close of the 12-month period which began with the first day of C’s final taxable year, as described in paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section. If C’s executor is granted an extension of time to file C’s final income tax return for the year of decedent’s death, then C’s Form 3520 will also have an extension and be due by October 15, Year 2. (6) Example 6: Transfer in exchange for less than fair market value. X, a U.S. person, sells property worth $1,000x to a foreign trust, FT, in exchange for $100x in cash. Under §1.671-2(e)(2)(ii), the $900x excess amount is a gratuitous transfer by X to FT. Under §1.679-3(a), X is treated as making a transfer of $900x to FT. Under paragraph (b)(2) of this sec- tion, the transfer is a reportable event. Under para- graph (c)(2) of this section, X is a responsible party. Accordingly, under paragraph (a) of this section, X is required to report the $900x transfer to FT on Part I of Form 3520. (7) Example 7: Creation and funding of trust in Puerto Rico by U.S. citizen. X is a U.S. citizen and a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico. X creates and funds a trust, T, in Puerto Rico. T is subject to the primary jurisdiction of the Puerto Rican courts. Because T fails the court test of §301.7701-7(a)(i), it is classified as a foreign trust under §301.7701-7. Under paragraph (b)(1) and (2) of this section, the creation and funding of T are reportable events. Under paragraph (c)(1) and (2) of this section, X is a responsible party. Accordingly, under paragraph (a) of this section, X is required to report the creation and funding of T on Part I of Form 3520. (8) Example 8: Indirect transfer. X, a U.S. per- son, creates FT, a foreign trust, for the benefit of X’s children, who are U.S. citizens. On July 1, Year 1, X transfers ABC stock to X’s brother, Y, a nonresident alien, for no consideration. Y immediately sells the ABC stock and uses the proceeds to purchase DEF stock. On January 5, Year 2, Y transfers the DEF stock to FT. X is related to Y within the meaning of §1.679-3(c)(4). X cannot demonstrate to the satisfac- tion of the Commissioner that Y, as the intermediary, has a relationship with the beneficiaries of the trust that establishes a reasonable basis for concluding that the intermediary would make a transfer to FT, that Y acted independently of X, or that Y is not an agent of X. Thus, the transfer is deemed to be for June 10, 2024 1662 Bulletin No. 2024–24 the principal purpose of tax avoidance under §1.679- 3(c)(2). Under §1.679-3(c)(1), X is treated as having made an indirect transfer of the DEF stock to FT on January 5, Year 2. Under §1.679-3(c)(3), Y is treated as an agent of X, and the DEF stock is treated as transferred to FT by X. Under paragraph (b)(2) of this section, the transfer is a reportable event. Under paragraph (c)(2) of this section, X is a responsible party. Accordingly, under paragraph (a) of this sec- tion, X is required to report the transfer on Part I of Form 3520. (9) Example 9: Constructive transfer. FT, a for- eign trust, owes $100x to F Corp, an unrelated for- eign corporation, for the performance of services by F Corp for the benefit of FT. In satisfaction of FT’s liability to F Corp, X, a U.S. person, transfers to F Corp property with a fair market value of $100x. By satisfying FT’s obligation, under §1.679-3(d)(1), X is treated as having made a constructive transfer of property to FT. Under paragraph (b)(2) of this sec- tion, the transfer is a reportable event. Under para- graph (c)(2) of this section, X is a responsible party. Accordingly, under paragraph (a) of this section, X is required to report the transfer on Part I of Form 3520. (10) Example 10: Partial guarantee of foreign trust obligations. F Corp, a foreign corporation, lends $100x to FT, a foreign trust, in exchange for FT’s obligation to repay the loan. Knowing that F Corp would not have made the loan without a guar- antee, X, a U.S. person related to FT under §1.679- 1(c)(5), gratuitously guarantees the repayment of $60x of FT’s obligation. Under §1.679-3(e), X is treated as having transferred $60x to FT. Under para- graph (b)(2) of this section, the transfer is a report- able event. Under paragraph (c)(2) of this section, X is a responsible party. Accordingly, under paragraph (a) of this section, X is required to report the transfer on Part I of Form 3520. (11) Example 11: Dual resident taxpayer. The facts are the same as in paragraph (d)(10) of this sec- tion (Example 10) except that X is a dual resident taxpayer (within the meaning of §301.7701(b)-7(a) (1)) who computes his U.S. tax liability as a nonres- ident alien for the taxable year during which he is treated as making the transfer. Pursuant to §1.6048- 6(a)(1), X is not treated as a U.S. person for that tax- able year and is not required to report the transfer on Part I of Form 3520. (12) Example 12: Outbound migration of domes- tic nongrantor trust. X, a U.S. person, transfers property to an irrevocable domestic trust, DT, for the sole benefit of X’s daughter. DT is not treated as owned by X or any other person under the grantor trust rules. DB, a domestic bank, resigns as trustee when X dies, and FB, a foreign bank, becomes the replacement trustee under the terms of the trust. Pursuant to §301.7701-7(d), DT becomes a foreign trust, FT. Under §1.684-4(a), DT is treated as hav- ing transferred all of its assets to FT and is required to recognize gain on the transfer under §1.684-1(a). Under paragraph (b)(2) of this section, the transfer is a reportable event. Under paragraph (c)(2) of this section, DT is the responsible party. Accordingly, under paragraph (a) of this section, DT is required to report the transfer on Part I of a Form 3520. (13) Example 13: Outbound migration of domes- tic grantor trust. On January 2, Year 1, X, a U.S. person, transfers property with a fair market value of $100x and an adjusted basis of $40x to a revo- cable domestic trust, DT, for the benefit of A, a U.S. person. X is treated as the owner of DT under section 676. On January 15, Year 2, when the fair market value of all property transferred to DT by X is $150x, DT acquires a foreign trustee who has the power to determine whether and when distributions will be made to A. Under sections 7701(a)(30)(E) and 7701(a)(31)(B) and §301.7701-7(d)(1)(ii)(A) and (d)(2)(i), DT becomes a foreign trust, FT, on January 15, Year 2. Under §1.684-2(d), X is treated as transferring property with a fair market value of $150x to FT on January 15, Year 2, without regard to whether FT is a foreign grantor trust. Under para- graph (b)(2) of this section, the transfer is a report- able event. Under paragraph (c)(2) of this section, X is the responsible party. Under paragraph (a) of this section, X is required to report the transfer on Part I of Form 3520. §1.6048-3 U.S. owners of foreign trusts. (a) U.S. owner requirement to ensure foreign trust information is provided— (1) In general. Unless an exception in §1.6048-5 applies, any U.S. person who is treated as an owner (U.S. owner) of a foreign trust or of any portion of a foreign trust under subpart E of part I of subchap- ter J of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code during any taxable year is responsi- ble for ensuring that, by the fifteenth day of the third month after the end of the for- eign trust’s taxable year, with a maximum extension of a 6-month period pursuant to section 6081, the foreign trust — (i) Files Form 3520-A, Annual Infor- mation Return of Foreign Trust With a U.S. Owner (under section 6048(b)), under an identification number assigned to the trust (or portion of the trust) with the Commis- sioner in accordance with the instructions for Form 3520-A, and attaches copies of the statements required by paragraphs (a) (1)(ii) and (iii) of this section, (ii) Furnishes a Foreign Grantor Trust Owner Statement in accordance with the instructions for Form 3520-A for the tax- able year to each U.S. owner; and (iii) Furnishes a Foreign Grantor Trust Beneficiary Statement in accordance with the instructions for Form 3520-A for the taxable year to each U.S. person, other than the U.S. owner, to whom the trust has made a distribution (within the meaning of §1.6048-4(b)), either directly or indi- rectly, during the trust’s taxable year (each a U.S. beneficiary). (2) Substitute Form 3520-A filed by the U.S. owner. If the foreign trust does not comply with the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this section, the U.S. owner must— (i) Complete and file Part II of Form 3520, Annual Return To Report Trans- actions With Foreign Trusts and Receipt of Certain Foreign Gifts, in accordance with the instructions for Form 3520 by the due date of the U.S. owner’s Form 3520, as described in §1.6048-2(a)(2) but as if “U.S. owner” replaces “responsible party” in §1.6048-2(a)(2)(i) and as if “U.S. owner” replaces “grantor or transferor” in §1.6048-2(a)(2)(ii) and (iii), as applicable; and (ii) Complete Form 3520-A and related statements for each U.S. owner and U.S. beneficiary on behalf of the foreign trust and file them with the U.S. owner’s Part II of Form 3520 by the due date of the U.S. owner’s Form 3520 as provided in paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section. Further, unless paragraph (a)(3) of this section applies, the U.S. owner must furnish the Foreign Grantor Trust Beneficiary State- ment in accordance with the instructions for Form 3520-A to each U.S. beneficiary by the due date of the U.S. owner’s Form 3520. (3) Certain fixed investment trusts. A U.S. owner who is subject to the rules of this section is not required to provide information about the other persons who are treated as owners of the foreign trust if the foreign trust meets all requirements to qualify as a widely held fixed investment trust within the meaning of §1.671-5(b) (22) other than the requirement that it be a U.S. person under section 7701(a)(30)(E). (b) Consistency rule—(1) In general. Subject to paragraph (b)(2) of this section, U.S. owners or U.S. beneficiaries who receive a Foreign Grantor Trust Owner Statement or Foreign Grantor Trust Bene- ficiary Statement from a foreign trust must treat any item reported by the trust to such U.S. person in a manner that is consistent with the trust’s treatment of such item on the Foreign Grantor Trust Owner State- ment or Foreign Grantor Trust Beneficiary Statement. (2) Notification of inconsistent treat- ment. If a U.S. owner’s or U.S. benefi- ciary’s treatment on such U.S. owner’s or U.S. beneficiary’s return is (or may be) inconsistent with the treatment of the item reported on a Foreign Grantor Trust Owner Bulletin No. 2024–24 1663 June 10, 2024 Statement or Foreign Grantor Trust Bene- ficiary Statement, then the U.S. owner or U.S. beneficiary must notify the Commis- sioner about the inconsistent treatment. The notification of inconsistent treatment must be made on a Form 8082, Notice of Inconsistent Treatment or Administrative Adjustment Request (AAR). Rules similar to the rules of section 6034A(c) (generally requiring beneficiaries of estates or trusts to file their returns in a manner that is con- sistent with information received from the estate or trust) will apply, including the rules for any adjustments required to make the treatment of reported items consistent in the case of a U.S. owner’s or U.S. ben- eficiary’s failure to notify the Commis- sioner about the inconsistent treatment. (c) Income tax determinations for for- eign grantor trusts without U.S. agents. If a foreign trust with a U.S. owner does not have a U.S. agent as described in para- graph (d) of this section, or if otherwise provided pursuant to paragraph (d)(5) of this section, then the amounts required to be taken into account with respect to the trust by the U.S. owner under the grantor trust rules are determined by the Commis- sioner based on all the facts and circum- stances. (d) Authorization of a U.S. agent—(1) In general. Paragraph (c) does not apply if a U.S. owner of a foreign trust ensures that the foreign trust authorizes a U.S. per- son to act as the trust’s limited agent as described in paragraph (d)(2) of this sec- tion solely for purposes of applying sec- tions 7602, 7603, and 7604 with respect to— (i) Any request by the Commissioner to examine records or produce testimony related to the proper treatment of amounts required to be taken into account under the grantor trust rules, or (ii) Any summons by the Commis- sioner for such records or testimony. (2) Requirements. In order to autho- rize a U.S. person to act as an agent under paragraph (d)(1) of this section, a U.S. owner of a foreign trust must ensure that the trust and the agent enter into a bind- ing authorization agreement that is exe- cuted by the foreign trust and the U.S. agent before the due date of Form 3520-A or substitute Form 3520-A (as described in §1.6048-3(a)(1) and (2), respectively) for the taxable year that the U.S. owner is considered the owner of the trust. The authorization must remain in effect for as long as the statute of limitations remains open for the U.S. owner’s relevant taxable year. If the agent resigns or liquidates or if the agent’s responsibility is terminated, the U.S. owner of the foreign trust must ensure that the foreign trust notifies the Commissioner within 90 days, by filing an amended Form 3520-A. This notification must contain the name, address and Tax- payer Identification Number of the new U.S. agent. (3) Limitations. The appearance of per- sons or production of records by reason of a U.S. person being an agent described in paragraph (d)(1) of this section will not subject such persons or records to legal process for any purpose other than determining the correct treatment of the amounts to be taken into account by the U.S. owner under paragraph (c) of this section. (4) No office, permanent establishment, or trade or business. A foreign trust that appoints a U.S. agent described in para- graph (d)(1) of this section will not be considered to have an office or a perma- nent establishment in the United States, or to be engaged in a trade or business in the United States, solely because of the agent’s activities as an agent pursuant to this section. (5) Summons issued to a U.S. agent— (i) In general. Paragraph (c) of this sec- tion applies if a summons is issued to a U.S. person (either directly or as a limited agent of a foreign trust who is appointed pursuant to paragraph (d)(1) of this sec- tion) or to a foreign trust (where service of the summons can be effectuated) to produce any records or testimony in order to determine the amounts required to be taken into account under the grantor trust rules, and if— (A) The summons is not quashed in a proceeding, if any, begun not later than the 90th day after the summons was issued and is not determined to be invalid in a proceeding, if any, begun under section 7604 to enforce the summons; and (B) The Commissioner has sent by certified or registered mail a notice to the U.S. person or foreign trust of its deter- mination that the U.S. person or foreign trust has not substantially and timely com- plied with the summons, and a proceeding to review the determination is not begun any later than 90 days after the notice is mailed. If such a proceeding is not begun on or before such 90th day, the determina- tion by the Commissioner will be binding. (ii) Enforcement proceeding not required. The Commissioner is not required to begin an enforcement pro- ceeding to enforce the summons in order to apply the rules of paragraph (d)(5) of this section. (iii) Suspension of statute of limitations. If the U.S. person or foreign trust to which a summons is issued brings a proceeding to quash the summons not later than the 90th day after the summons was issued, or begins a proceeding to review a deter- mination under paragraph (d)(5)(i)(B) of this section not later than the 90th day after the day on which the notice referred to in paragraph (d)(5)(i)(B) of this section was mailed, the running of any period of limita- tion under section 6501 (relating to assess- ment and collection of tax) or under section 6531 (relating to criminal prosecutions) for the taxable year or years to which the sum- mons that is the subject of such proceed- ing relates will be suspended for the period during which the proceeding, and appeals therein, are pending. In no event will any such period expire before the 90th day after the day on which there is a final determina- tion in the proceeding. (e) Examples. The following examples illustrate the rules of this section. (1) Example 1: Fixed investment trust. X, a U.S. person, is treated as an owner of a foreign trust, FT, that would be a widely held fixed investment trust within the meaning of §1.671-5(b)(22) if it were a domestic trust. FT does not file a Form 3520-A for Year 1. Under paragraph (a)(2) of this section, X is required to complete and file Part II of Form 3520 by the due date for X’s Year 1 Form 3520. In addition, under paragraph (a)(2) of this section, X is required to complete a substitute Form 3520-A and related state- ments and file them with X’s Year 1 Form 3520. Under paragraph (a)(4) of this section, X is not required to provide information about the other owners of FT. (2) Example 2: Substitute Form 3520-A. X, a U.S. person, is treated as the owner of a foreign trust, FT. FT’s taxable year ends on December 31. On November 1, Year 1, FT makes a distribution to Y, a U.S. beneficiary of the trust. FT fails to com- ply with the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this section for its taxable year ending December 31, Year 1. Under paragraph (a)(2) of this section, X is required to complete and file Part II of Form 3520 by the due date for X’s Year 1 Form 3520. In addition, under paragraph (a)(2) of this section, X is required to complete a substitute Form 3520-A and related statements and file them with X’s Year 1 June 10, 2024 1664 Bulletin No. 2024–24 Form 3520. X must furnish a Foreign Grantor Trust Beneficiary Statement to Y by the due date for X’s Year 1 Form 3520. (3) Example 3: Failures to appoint U.S. agent and to respond to summons. X, a U.S. person, is treated as the owner of a foreign trust, FT. FT does not appoint a U.S. agent described in paragraph (d)(1) of this sec- tion. The Commissioner issues a summons to X for the production of records of FT related to the proper treatment of amounts required to be taken into account by X under the grantor trust rules. Neither X nor FT responds to the summons. Under paragraph (c) of this section, the Commissioner may determine the amount that X must take into account under the grantor trust rules based on all the facts and circumstances. (4) Example 4: Multiple trusts and multiple trans- actions. X, a U.S. person, is treated as the owner of two foreign trusts, FT1 and FT2. During Year 1, X trans- fers cash to FT1 and receives a distribution from FT2. FT1 and FT2 fail to comply with the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this section for their taxable years ending in Year 1. Under §1.6048-2 and paragraph (a)(2) of this section, X must report X’s transfer to, and ownership of, FT1 on one Form 3520, and under §1.6048-4 and paragraph (a)(2) of this section, X must report X’s ownership of, and distribution from, FT2 on a second Form 3520. In addition, under paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section, X must complete a substitute Form 3520-A for each trust, FT1 and FT2, and file them with X’s Year 1 Form 3520 for each trust. (5) Example 5: Dual resident taxpayer. (i) X is a lawful permanent resident of the United States within the meaning of §301.7701(b)-1(b) of this chapter and a tax resident of Country F under the domestic tax law of Country F. X is treated as a res- ident of Country F under the residence article of the U.S.-Country F income tax treaty (the treaty). Pur- suant to §301.7701(b)-7 of this chapter, X is treated as a nonresident alien for purposes of computing X’s U.S. income tax liability for Year 1. During Year 1, X transfers $100x to a foreign trust, FT, for the benefit of X’s children, who are U.S. citizens. Under §1.6048-6(a), X is not treated as a U.S. person and is not required to report the transfer under §1.6048-2 on a Form 3520 for Year 1. (ii) In Year 2, X waives any benefits to which X would have been entitled under the treaty and computes X’s U.S. income tax liability as a resident alien. Under §1.679-5(a), X is treated as having made a transfer to FT on January 1, Year 2, in the amount of the fair mar- ket value of FT as of that date. Under §1.679-1(a), X is treated as the owner of FT as of January 1, Year 2. Under §1.6048-2(a), X is required to file a Form 3520 for Year 2 on which X reports the transfer to FT. If FT fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (a) (1) of this section for FT’s taxable year ending in Year 2, under paragraph (a)(2) of this section, X also must complete and file Part II of Form 3520, and complete and file a substitute Form 3520-A with the related state- ments attached to X’s Year 2 Form 3520. §1.6048-4 Reporting by U.S. persons receiving distributions from foreign trusts. (a) Reporting of trust distributions. Unless an exception in §1.6048-5 applies, any U.S. person who receives directly or indirectly any distribution from a foreign trust (without regard to whether any per- son is treated as the owner of the foreign trust under the rules of subpart E of part I of subchapter J of chapter 1) must file Part III of Form 3520, Annual Return To Report Transactions With Foreign Trusts and Receipt of Certain Foreign Gifts, by the due date of the U.S. person’s Form 3520, as described in §1.6048-2(a)(2) by replacing “responsible party” with “U.S. person” in §1.6048-2(a)(2)(i) and by replacing “grantor or transferor” with “U.S. person” in §1.6048-2(a)(2)(ii) and (iii), as applicable. See §1.6048-6(d) for information reporting by married U.S. persons who file a joint income tax return. (b) Distribution—(1) In general. Except as provided in paragraphs (b)(5)(ii) and (b)(6)(ii) of this section, a distribution means any transfer of property (including cash) from a foreign trust received directly or indirectly by a U.S. person to the extent such property exceeds the fair market value of any property or services received by the foreign trust in exchange for the property transferred, without regard to whether any portion of the foreign trust is treated as owned by the grantor or another person under the rules of subpart E of part I of subchapter J of chapter 1, whether the recipient is designated as a benefi- ciary by the terms of the foreign trust, or whether the distribution has any income tax consequences. A distribution includes any amount, including without limita- tion a gift or bequest described in section 663(a), actually or constructively received by a U.S. person. For these purposes, a transfer of property from a foreign trust to a grantor trust or to a disregarded entity (as defined in §1.643(i)-1(d)(3) of this chapter) is treated as a distribution to the owner of the grantor trust or of the disre- garded entity, respectively. For example, a transfer of property from a foreign trust to a single member LLC treated as a dis- regarded entity is treated as a distribution to the owner of the LLC. For distributions through intermediaries, see paragraph (b) (2) of this section; for distributions from entities owned by a foreign trust, see para- graph (b)(3) of this section; for inbound migrations of foreign trusts, see paragraph (b)(4) of this section; for loans of cash or marketable securities, see paragraph (b) (5) of this section; for use of trust property, see paragraph (b)(6) of this section; and for the receipt of covered gifts or bequests from a foreign trust, see paragraph (b)(7) of this section. (2) Distributions from foreign trusts through intermediaries—(i) In general. A distribution includes any transfer of property from a foreign trust received by a U.S. person through an intermediary, nominee, or agent. In such a case, except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) (2)(ii) of this section, the intermediary, nominee, or agent is treated as an agent of the foreign trust and the property is treated as distributed from the foreign trust to the U.S. person in the year the property is received by or made available by the intermediary, nominee, or agent to the U.S. person. (ii) Special rule. If the Commissioner determines that the intermediary, nomi- nee, or agent is an agent of the U.S. per- son, the property is treated as distributed from the foreign trust to the U.S. person in the year the property is received by the intermediary, nominee, or agent. In such case, the intermediary, nominee, or agent is not treated as distributing the property to the U.S. person when the property is subsequently received by or made avail- able by the intermediary, nominee, or agent to the U.S. person. (iii) Reporting indirect transfers of property. An indirect transfer of prop- erty from a foreign trust must be reported on Part III of Form 3520 without regard to whether the receipt of such property would be treated as having any income tax consequences to the U.S. person receiving such property, to a U.S. grantor or ben- eficiary of the foreign trust, or to a U.S. owner of the foreign trust. (3) Distributions from entities owned by a foreign trust. A distribution includes any transfer of property from an entity in which a foreign trust directly or indi- rectly holds an ownership interest that is received by a U.S. person who is a related person (as defined in §1.679-1(c)(5)) with respect to the foreign trust. In such case, the transfer of the property by the entity owned by the foreign trust to the U.S. person is treated as a distribution of such property by the entity to the foreign trust followed by a distribution of the property from the foreign trust to the U.S. person, Bulletin No. 2024–24 1665 June 10, 2024 unless the U.S. person demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that the distribution from the entity is properly attributable to the U.S. person’s owner- ship interest in the entity. (4) Inbound migrations of foreign trusts. A distribution includes an inbound migration of a foreign trust. An inbound migration of a foreign trust occurs when a foreign trust becomes a domestic trust. In such case, the foreign trust is treated as distributing the trust corpus and income to the domestic trust on the date the foreign trust becomes a domestic trust. (5) Loans of cash or marketable securi- ties—(i) In general. A distribution includes any loan of cash or marketable securities made from a foreign trust (whether from trust corpus or income) directly or indi- rectly to a U.S. person. For these purposes, a loan to a grantor trust or to a disregarded entity (as defined in §1.643(i)-1(d)(3) of this chapter) will be treated as a loan to the owner of the grantor trust or of the disre- garded entity, respectively. For example, a loan to a single member LLC treated as a disregarded entity will be treated as a loan to the owner of the LLC. Loans from a foreign trust include: (A) A loan of cash or marketable secu- rities made by any person to a U.S. person, if the foreign trust provides a guarantee (within the meaning of §1.679-3(e)(4)) for the loan, and (B) A loan of cash or marketable secu- rities made by any intermediary, nominee or agent of a foreign trust to a U.S. person. (ii) Section 643(i) loans of cash or marketable securities. A distribution includes a direct or indirect loan of cash or marketable securities from a foreign nongrantor trust to any U.S. grantor or beneficiary (within the meaning of §1.643(i)-1(d)(11) or (1), respectively) or a U.S. person related (within the mean- ing of §1.643(i)-1(d)(9)) to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary regardless of whether the loan was made in exchange for a qual- ified obligation within the meaning of §1.643(i)-2(b)(2)(iii). For these purposes, indirect loans include loans described in §1.643(i)-1(b)(2). (iii) Reporting loans of cash or mar- ketable securities. A loan of cash or marketable securities made from a for- eign trust must be reported by the U.S. person described under paragraph (b)(5) (i) of this section and by the U.S. grantor or beneficiary described under para- graph (b)(5)(ii) of this section on Part III of Form 3520, Annual Return to Report Transactions with Foreign Trusts and Receipt of Certain Foreign Gifts, with- out regard to whether the loan would be treated as having any income tax conse- quences to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary (within the meaning of §1.643(i)-1(d) (11) or (1), respectively) of the foreign trust. (6) Use of trust property—(i) In gen- eral. A distribution includes the fair market value of the direct or indirect use of any property of a foreign trust by a U.S. person. For these purposes, use of property of a foreign trust by a grantor trust or by a disre- garded entity (as defined in §1.643(i)-1(d) (3)) will be treated as the use of trust prop- erty by the owner of the grantor trust or of the disregarded entity, respectively. For example, use of trust property by a sin- gle member LLC treated as a disregarded entity will be treated as use of trust prop- erty by the owner of the LLC. (ii) Section 643(i) use of trust prop- erty. A distribution includes the fair mar- ket value of the direct or indirect use of any property of a foreign nongrantor trust by a U.S. grantor or beneficiary (within the meaning of §1.643(i)-1(d)(11) or (1), respectively) or a U.S. person related (within the meaning of §1.643(i)-1(d) (9)) to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary with- out regard to whether the foreign trust is paid the fair market value for such use. For these purposes, indirect use of trust property includes the use described in §1.643(i)-1(c)(2). (iii) Reporting use of trust property. The use of trust property must be reported by the U.S. person described under para- graph (b)(6)(i) of this section and by the U.S. grantor or beneficiary described under paragraph (b)(6)(ii) of this section on Part III of Form 3520, Annual Return to Report Transactions with Foreign Trusts and Receipt of Certain Foreign Gifts, without regard to whether the use of trust property would be treated as hav- ing any income tax consequences to a U.S. grantor or beneficiary (within the meaning of §1.643(i)-1(d)(11) or (1), respectively) of the foreign trust. (7) Certain covered gifts or bequests. A distribution includes any covered gift or bequest (described in section 2801(e)) that is received as a distribution from a foreign trust. (c) Statements provided by foreign trust—(1) Foreign grantor trust with U.S. owner—(i) Owner statement. Pursuant to §1.6048-3(a)(1)(ii), a U.S. owner of a foreign trust (or portion of a foreign trust) should receive a Foreign Grantor Trust Owner Statement. (ii) Statement for U.S. person receiving a distribution. Pursuant to §1.6048-3(a) (1)(iii), a U.S. person, other than a U.S. owner, who receives a distribution from a foreign grantor trust (or portion of a for- eign grantor trust) should receive a For- eign Grantor Trust Beneficiary Statement. (2) Foreign nongrantor trust. A for- eign nongrantor trust may issue, by the fifteenth day of the third month after the end of the trust’s taxable year, a Foreign Nongrantor Trust Beneficiary Statement to each U.S. person who receives a dis- tribution from the foreign trust during the trust’s taxable year. (3) Foreign grantor trust with foreign owner. A foreign trust that is treated as owned by a foreign person under the grantor trust rules may issue, by the fif- teenth day of the third month after the end of the trust’s taxable year, a For- eign-Owned Grantor Trust Beneficiary Statement to each U.S. person who receives a distribution. (d) Tax consequences of distributions— (1) In general. Subject to paragraph (e) of this section, a U.S. person (other than a U.S. person described in §1.6048-4(c)(1) (i)) who receives a distribution (other than a distribution described in §1.6048-4(b)(5) or (6) that is not treated as a section 643(i) distribution under §1.643(i)-1) from a foreign trust must determine the tax con- sequences of the distribution as follows, unless the distribution is received in a year that the foreign trust terminates. For rules determining the tax consequences of a dis- tribution in the year a foreign trust termi- nates, see paragraphs (d)(3)(i)(B) and (d) (3)(iii) of this section. (i) A U.S. person who receives a For- eign Grantor Trust Beneficiary Statement or a Foreign-Owned Grantor Trust Benefi- ciary Statement before the due date of the U.S. person’s income tax return (including extensions) must determine the income tax consequences of the distribution from June 10, 2024 1666 Bulletin No. 2024–24 the trust as a distribution being made from a grantor trust. (ii) A U.S. person who receives a For- eign Nongrantor Trust Beneficiary State- ment before the due date of the U.S. person’s income tax return (including extensions) may determine the income tax consequences of the distribution under either the actual calculation method described in paragraph (d)(2) of this sec- tion or the default calculation method described in paragraph (d)(3) of this sec- tion, unless the U.S. person knows or has reason to know that the information in the statement is incorrect or the U.S. person has previously used the default calculation method with respect to distributions from the same foreign trust. (iii) In all other cases, including when a U.S. person does not receive a statement described in §1.6048-4(c) before the due date of the U.S. person’s income tax return (including extensions), the U.S. person must use the default calculation method described in paragraph (d)(3) of this sec- tion. (2) Actual calculation method. Under the actual calculation method, the tax consequences of the distribution are deter- mined by using actual information about the foreign trust as provided in the Foreign Nongrantor Trust Beneficiary Statement described in §1.6048-4(c)(2) and applying the rules of subparts C and D of Part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code. (3) Default calculation method— (i) Consequences to U.S. person who receives a distribution from a foreign trust—(A) In general. Under the default calculation method, the tax consequences of the distribution are determined by allo- cating the distribution between a distribu- tion of current income and a distribution of accumulated income under the rules of this paragraph (d)(3). The portion of the distribution that is treated as a distribution of current income is 125% of the average distribution that the U.S. person received from the foreign trust during the imme- diately preceding three taxable years (or the number of years during which the trust has been a foreign trust, if fewer than three years). The remainder of the distribution, if any, is treated as an accumulation dis- tribution within the meaning of section 665(b) that is subject to an interest charge under section 668. For purposes of com- puting the interest charge (in the absence of actual information provided on a state- ment described in §1.6048-4(c)), the U.S. person must assume that the applicable number of years the trust has been in existence is ten years and that no taxes described in section 665(d) have been imposed on the trust in any applicable previous year (even if a distribution had been made and tax under section 665(d) had been imposed). (B) Year of trust termination. Unless paragraph (d)(3)(iii) of this section applies, the tax consequences of a distribu- tion in the year a foreign trust terminates are determined by treating the distribution as an accumulation distribution within the meaning of section 665(b) that is subject to an interest charge under section 668 for any amount in excess of the portion of the distribution that is treated as a distribution of current income described in paragraph (d)(3)(i)(A) of this section. (ii) Consequences to trust. A foreign trust must determine the income tax con- sequences of distributions to U.S. persons by applying the applicable rules of part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code. (iii) Actual calculation method in year of foreign trust termination after using the default calculation method. A U.S. per- son who has previously used the default calculation method with respect to distri- butions from a foreign trust may, for the year in which the foreign trust terminates, determine the tax consequences of a dis- tribution from the same trust by using the actual calculation method provided that, before the due date of the U.S. person’s income tax return (including extensions), the trust provides to the U.S. person com- plete and accurate information about all previous distributions from such foreign trust. The U.S. person must use this infor- mation to recalculate the tax effect of all previous distributions from such foreign trust under the actual calculation method in order to determine the portion attrib- utable to current income, accumulated income, and principal in the year that the foreign trust terminates. A U.S. person described in this paragraph (d)(3)(iii) may not use the actual calculation method for the year that the foreign trust terminates if the U.S. person knows or has reason to know that the information provided by the foreign trust is incorrect. (iv) Example. The following example illustrates the rules of paragraph (d)(3)(i) of this section. B, a U.S. person, is a beneficiary of a foreign nongrantor trust, FT, that was established in Year 1. In Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4, B received distributions from FT of $100x, $200x, and $300x respectively. In Year 5, B receives a $400x distribution from FT. To deter- mine the tax consequences of the Year 5 distribution, B applies the default calculation method. Under the default calculation method, the average distribution that B received from FT during the preceding three years is $200x and 125% of such average distribu- tion is $250x. Therefore, $250x of the Year 5 distri- bution is treated as a distribution of current income and the remaining $150x is treated as an accumu- lation distribution. The $150x that is treated as an accumulation distribution is subject to an interest charge under section 668. B must report the distri- bution and the default calculation on Part III of Form 3520 for Year 5. (e) Distribution treated as accumula- tion distribution if records are not pro- vided. If adequate records are not pro- vided to the Commissioner to determine the proper treatment of any distribution from a foreign trust (within the meaning of paragraph (b) of this section) other than a loan or use of trust property that is not treated as a section 643(i) distribution under §1.643(i)-1, the entire distribution will be treated as an accumulation distri- bution includible in the gross income of the U.S. person who received the distribu- tion under chapter 1 of the Internal Rev- enue Code. However, if the trustee of a foreign trust authorizes a U.S. person to act as the trust’s limited agent under rules prescribed in §1.6048-3(d), then the tax consequences of the distribution may be determined under the rules described in paragraph (d)(1) of this section. (f) Interaction with §1.6039F-1. If a U.S. person receives a distribution from a foreign trust, the U.S. person must report the distribution under paragraph (a) of this section and not under §1.6039F-1(a), regardless of whether the distribution is taxable to the U.S. person receiving the distribution. See §1.6039F-1(b). (g) Examples. The following examples illustrate the rules of this section. In each example, X is a U.S. citizen, FT is a for- eign trust, and FC is a foreign corporation. (1) Example 1: Payment of liability treated as distribution. X owes $1,000x to Y for services that Y performed for X. In satisfaction of X’s liability to Y, FT transfers to Y property with a fair market value of $1,000x. Under paragraph (b)(1) of this section, FT’s transfer of property to Y is constructively received Bulletin No. 2024–24 1667 June 10, 2024 by X from FT, and is a distribution in the amount of $1,000x to X for purposes of this section. Under paragraph (a) of this section, X must report the dis- tribution on Part III of Form 3520. (2) Example 2: Assumption of liability treated as distribution. The facts are the same as in paragraph (g)(1) of this section (Example 1) except that FT assumes X’s liability to pay Y. The result is the same as in paragraph (g)(1) of this section (Example 1). (3) Example 3: Trust’s partial guarantee of U.S. person’s obligation treated as distribution from for- eign trust. Y lends $1,000x of cash to X in exchange for X’s obligation to repay the loan. X is a U.S. per- son. FT guarantees the repayment of $600x of X’s obligation. Under paragraph (b)(5)(i)(A) of this sec- tion, FT’s guarantee of X’s obligation is a distribu- tion from FT to X in the amount of $600x. Under paragraph (a) of this section, X must report the dis- tribution on Part III of Form 3520. (4) Example 4: Section 643(i) loan not in exchange for qualified obligation. X’s sister, A, and A’s husband, B, are both U.S. citizens. X, A, and B are U.S. persons within the meaning of §1.643(i)-1(d) (12), and X is related to B under §1.643(i)-1(d)(9). B is a beneficiary of FT, a nongrantor trust. In Year 1, FT lends $100x to X in exchange for a demand note that permits FT to require repayment by X at any time. The demand note issued by X is not a qualified obligation within the meaning of §1.643(i)-2(b)(2) (iii) because X’s obligation to FT could remain out- standing for more than five years. Accordingly, the loan from FT to X is treated as a section 643(i) distri- bution of $100x to B under §1.643(i)-1(a). The loan is a distribution from FT to X and B under paragraph (b)(5)(ii) of this section. Under paragraphs (a) and (b)(5)(iii) of this section, X and B each must report the distribution on Part III of Form 3520. (5) Example 5: Section 643(i) loan in exchange for qualified obligation. The facts are the same as in paragraph (g)(4) of this section (Example 4) except that the loan cannot remain outstanding for more than five years and it is a qualified obligation within the meaning of §1.643(i)-2(b)(2)(iii). Although the loan is not a section 643(i) distribution within the meaning of §1.643(i)-1(a), the loan nevertheless is a distribution from FT to X and to B under paragraph (b)(5)(ii) of this section. Under paragraphs (a) and (b)(5)(iii) of this section, X and B each must report the distribution on Part III of Form 3520. (6) Example 6: Distribution through interme- diary. Y, a nonresident alien, created FT in 1980 for the benefit of Y’s children and their descen- dants, all of whom are U.S. persons. FT’s trustee, T, determines that $100x of accumulated income should be distributed to X, one of Y’s children. Pursuant to a plan with a principal purpose of avoiding the interest charge that would be imposed on an accumulation distribution from a foreign trust by section 668, T makes a gratuitous transfer from FT of $100x to N, a foreign person. N sub- sequently makes a gratuitous transfer of $100x to X. Under §1.643(h)-1(a)(1), FT is deemed to have made an accumulation distribution of $100x to X. The distribution through N as the intermediary is treated as a distribution under paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section. Under paragraphs (a) and (b)(2) (iii) of this section, X must report the distribution on Part III of Form 3520. (7) Example 7: Excess payment in exchange for property. X transfers to FT property with a fair market value of $200x in exchange for a payment of $500x. Under paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the excess amount of $300x is treated as a distribution from FT to X. Under paragraph (a) of this section, X must report the distribution of $300x on Part III of Form 3520. (8) Example 8: Excess payment in exchange for services. X receives a payment of $100x from FT purportedly in exchange for X’s performance of ser- vices as a trustee of FT. The fair market value of the services performed is $20x. Under paragraph (b)(1) of this section, X is treated as receiving a distribution of $80x from FT. Under paragraph (a) of this section, X must report the distribution of $80x on Part III of Form 3520. (9) Example 9: Distribution from entity owned by foreign trust. FT owns all of the outstanding stock of FC. FC distributes $100x directly to X, a related person within the meaning of §1.679-1(c)(5) with respect to FT. Because FT is the sole shareholder of FC, X is unable to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that the distribution is properly attributable to X’s ownership interest in FC. Accord- ingly, under paragraph (b)(3) of this section, X is treated as receiving a distribution of $100x from FT. Under paragraph (a) of this section, X must report the distribution of $100x on Part III of Form 3520. (10) Example 10: Distribution from entity co-owned by foreign trust. FC has 100 outstanding shares of stock. FT owns 25 shares of FC stock, X owns 50 shares, and N, a nonresident alien, owns the remaining 25 shares. In Year 1, FC distributes a dividend of $25x to each of FT and N and $50x to X. Because the distribution was made to FT, X, and N in proportion to their ownership interests in FC and X reports $50x as a dividend on X’s timely filed income tax return for Year 1, X is able to demon- strate to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that the distribution is properly attributable to X’s ownership interest in FC. Accordingly, under paragraph (b)(3) of this section, X is not treated as receiving a report- able distribution of $50x from FT. (11) Example 11: Foreign trust becomes domes- tic trust. FB, a foreign bank, resigns as trustee of FT, and DB, a domestic bank, becomes the new trustee of FT. Pursuant to section 7701(a)(30)(E), FT becomes a domestic trust, DT. Under paragraph (b)(4) of this section, DT is treated as receiving a distribution of the trust corpus and income from FT. Under para- graph (a) of this section, DT must report the deemed distribution of the trust corpus and income on Part III of Form 3520 for the year in which the inbound migration occurs. (12) Example 12: Distribution received by domestic trust. T, as trustee of FT, has the power to decant. Exercising that power, T distributes the trust corpus and income of FT to DT, a domestic trust. Neither FT nor DT is a grantor trust. Under para- graph (b)(1) and (4) of this section, DT receives a distribution of the trust corpus and income from FT. Under paragraph (a) of this section, DT must report the distribution of the trust corpus and income on Part III of Form 3520 for the year in which the decanting occurs. (13) Example 13: Distribution received by U.S. owner. X is treated as the owner of FT under section 679. X receives a distribution from FT. Under para- graph (a) of this section, X must report the distribu- tion on Part III of Form 3520. (14) Example 14: Distribution from trust owned by another person. X receives a distribution from FT. Y, a nonresident alien, is treated as the owner of FT under the grantor trust rules. X receives a com- pleted Foreign-Owned Grantor Trust Beneficiary Statement. Under paragraph (a) of this section and §1.6048-6(b), X must file Form 3520 for the year of the distribution. (15) Example 15: Use of default calculation method if statement not provided. The facts are the same as in paragraph (g)(14) (Example 14) except that X does not receive a Foreign-Owned Grantor Trust Beneficiary Statement from FT. Pursuant to paragraph (d)(3) of this section, X must determine the tax consequences of the distribution using the default calculation method. Under the default cal- culation method, X must include the distribution in income in accordance with rules prescribed in para- graph (d)(3) of this section and in the Instructions for Form 3520 for the applicable taxable year. (16) Example 16: Distribution attributable to covered gift. Z relinquishes Z’s U.S. citizenship on September 15, Year 1. Z is a covered expatri- ate within the meaning of section 877A(g)(1). On August 1, Year 2, Z creates and transfers $300x to a foreign trust, FT, for the benefit of Z’s son, S, a U.S. citizen. On December 30, Year 3, S receives a $40x distribution from FT. Whether or not the entire amount of the distribution is a covered gift within the meaning of section 2801(e), under paragraph (b) (7) of this section, the $40x is a distribution. Under paragraph (a) of this section, S must report the dis- tribution on Part III of Form 3520. S also may have additional reporting requirements under section 2801 for the covered gift. §1.6048-5 Exceptions. (a) Exceptions under section 6048(a) (3)(B). For purposes of §1.6048-2, a reportable event does not include any of the following: (1) Any transfer of property to a for- eign trust to the extent the transfer is a transfer for fair market value within the meaning of §1.679-4(b), provided that the transfer is not one made by a U.S. per- son that is a related person (as defined in §1.679-1(c)(5)) with respect to the foreign trust in exchange for an obligation of the trust or of a related person (without regard to whether such obligation is a qualified obligation described in §1.679-4(d)); (2) Any transfer of property to a for- eign trust described in section 402(b), 404(a)(4), or 404A; and (3) Any transfer of property to a foreign trust, provided that the trust has received a determination letter from the Commis- sioner that has not been revoked recogniz- June 10, 2024 1668 Bulletin No. 2024–24 ing that the foreign trust is exempt from Federal income tax under section 501(a) as an organization described in section 501(c)(3). (b) Exceptions for certain tax-favored foreign trusts—(1) In general. Sections 6048(a) through 6048(c) and §§1.6048-2 through 1.6048-4 do not apply to any eli- gible individual’s transactions with, or ownership of, a tax-favored foreign retire- ment trust as defined under paragraph (b) (2) of this section or a tax-favored foreign non-retirement savings trust as defined under paragraph (b)(3) of this section. For purposes of this paragraph (b)(1), an eligi- ble individual means an individual who is, or at any time was, a U.S. person and who, for any period during which an amount of tax may be assessed under section 6501 (without regard to section 6501(c)(8)), is compliant (or comes into compliance) with all requirements for filing a Federal income tax return (or returns) covering the period such individual was a U.S. person, and to the extent required under U.S. tax law, has reported as income any contribu- tions to, earnings of, or distributions from an applicable tax-favored foreign trust on the applicable return (including on an amended return). (2) Tax-favored foreign retirement trust. For purposes of this section, a tax-favored foreign retirement trust means a foreign trust that is created, organized, or otherwise established under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction (the trust’s juris- diction) as a trust, plan, fund, scheme, or other arrangement (collectively, a trust) to operate exclusively or almost exclusively to provide, or to earn income for the pro- vision of, pension or retirement benefits and ancillary or incidental benefits, and that meets the following requirements established by the laws of the jurisdiction governing the trust: (i) The trust generally is exempt from income tax or otherwise is tax-favored under the laws of the trust’s jurisdiction. For purposes of this section, a trust is tax-favored under the laws of the trust’s jurisdiction if it meets any one or more of the following conditions: (A) Contributions to the trust that oth- erwise would be subject to tax are deduct- ible or excluded from income, are taxed at a reduced rate, give rise to a tax credit, or otherwise are eligible for another tax benefit (such as a government subsidy or contribution); or (B) Taxation of investment income earned by the trust is deferred until distri- bution or the investment income is taxed at a reduced rate (including exempt from tax). (ii) Annual information reporting with respect to the trust (or of its participants or beneficiaries) is provided, or otherwise is available, to the relevant tax authorities in the trust’s jurisdiction. (iii) Generally, only contributions with respect to income earned from the perfor- mance of personal services are permitted (with allowances made for limited con- tributions made by unemployed individ- uals). (iv) The trust meets either the value threshold in paragraph (b)(2)(iv)(1) or any one of the contribution limitations in para- graph (b)(2)(iv)(2) of this section: (1) Value threshold. The aggregate value of the trust(s) in the trust’s jurisdic- tion is limited to no more than $600,000 at any point during the taxable year (as adjusted under paragraph (b)(2)(iv)(3) of this section) regardless of the number of trusts established. (2) Contribution limitations. The con- tributions to the trust(s) in the trust’s juris- diction are limited to any one of the fol- lowing: (i) A percentage of earned income of the participant, (ii) An annual limit of $75,000 (as adjusted under paragraph (b)(2)(iv)(3) of this section) or less, or (iii) A lifetime limit of $1,000,000 (as adjusted under paragraph (b)(2)(iv)(3) of this section) or less. (3) Dollar limitations subject to adjust- ments—(i) The value threshold in para- graph (b)(2)(iv)(1) and contribution limits in paragraph (b)(2)(iv)(2) of this section are determined using the U.S. Treasury Bureau of Fiscal Service foreign currency conversion rate on July 1 of the tax year (available at https://fiscaldata.treasury. gov/datasets/treasury-reporting-rates-ex- change/treasury-reporting-rates-of-ex- change). (ii) In the case of calendar years begin- ning on or after January 1, 2025, the amounts under paragraph (b)(2)(iv)(1) and paragraph (b)(2)(iv)(2) of this section will be adjusted at the same time and in the same manner as the amounts are adjusted under section 415(d), except that the base period will be the calendar quarter begin- ning July 1, 2024. (v) Withdrawals, distributions, or payments from the trust are conditioned upon reaching a specified retirement age, disability, or death, or penalties apply to withdrawals, distributions, or payments made before such conditions are met. A trust that otherwise meets the require- ments of this paragraph (b)(2)(v), but that allows withdrawals, distributions, or pay- ments for in-service loans or for reasons such as hardship, educational purposes, or the purchase of a primary residence, will be treated as meeting the requirements of this paragraph. (vi) In the case of an employer-main- tained trust: (A) The trust is nondiscriminatory insofar as a wide range of employees, including rank and file employees, must be eligible to make or receive contribu- tions or accrue benefits under the terms of the trust (alone or in combination with other comparable plans); (B) The trust (alone or in combination with other comparable plans) actually pro- vides significant benefits for a substantial majority of eligible employees; and (C) The benefits actually provided under the trust to eligible employees are nondiscriminatory. (3) Tax-favored foreign non-retirement savings trust. For purposes of this section, a tax-favored foreign non-retirement sav- ings trust means a foreign trust that is cre- ated, organized, or otherwise established under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction (the trust’s jurisdiction) as a trust, plan, fund, scheme, or other arrangement (col- lectively, a trust) to operate exclusively or almost exclusively to provide, or to earn income for the provision of, medical, dis- ability, or educational benefits, and that meets the following requirements estab- lished by the laws of the trust’s jurisdic- tion: (i) The trust generally is exempt from income tax or otherwise is tax-favored under the laws of the trust’s jurisdiction as defined in paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section. (ii) Annual information reporting with respect to the trust (or of its participants or beneficiaries) is provided, or otherwise is Bulletin No. 2024–24 1669 June 10, 2024 available, to the relevant tax authorities in the trust’s jurisdiction. (iii) Contributions to the trust are lim- ited to $10,000 (multiplied by the cost- of-living adjustment determined under section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year by substituting “calendar year 2020” for “calendar year 2016” in section 1(f)(3)(A) (ii) and rounding to the nearest multiple of $1,000) or less annually, or $200,000 (multiplied by the cost-of-living adjust- ment determined under section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year by substituting “calen- dar year 2020” for “calendar year 2016” in section 1(f)(3)(A)(ii) and rounding to the nearest multiple of $1,000) or less on a lifetime basis, determined using the U.S. Treasury Bureau of Fiscal Service foreign currency conversion rate on the last day of the tax year (available at https://fis- caldata.treasury.gov/datasets/treasury-re- porting-rates-exchange/treasury-report- ing-rates-of-exchange). (iv) Withdrawals, distributions, or payments from the trust are conditioned upon the provision of medical, disability, or educational benefits, or apply penalties to withdrawals, distributions, or payments made before such conditions are met. (4) Tax-favored foreign de minimis sav- ings trusts. For purposes of this section, a tax-favored foreign de minimis savings trust means a foreign trust that is cre- ated, organized, or otherwise established under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction (the trust’s jurisdiction) as a trust, plan, fund, scheme, or other arrangement (col- lectively, a trust) to operate as a savings vehicle, that is not treated as a tax-favored foreign retirement trust, as described in paragraph (b)(2) or a tax-favored foreign non-retirement savings trust, as described in paragraph (b)(3), and that meets each of the following requirements: (i) The trust generally is exempt from income tax or otherwise is tax-favored under the laws of the trust’s jurisdiction as defined in paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section; (ii) Annual information reporting with respect to the trust (or of its participants or beneficiaries) is provided, or otherwise is available, to the relevant tax authorities in the trust’s jurisdiction pursuant to the laws of the trust’s jurisdiction; and (iii) The aggregate value of the trust(s) in the trust’s jurisdiction is limited to no more than $50,000 at any point during the taxable year (multiplied by the cost- of-living adjustment determined under section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year by substituting “[the year of the date of pub- lication of the final regulations in the Fed- eral Register]” for “calendar year 2016” in section 1(f)(3)(A)(ii) and rounding to the nearest multiple of $1,000) regard- less of the number of trusts established. The $50,000 is determined using the U.S. Treasury Bureau of Fiscal Service foreign currency conversion rate on the last day of the tax year (available at https://fis- caldata.treasury.gov/datasets/treasury-re- porting-rates-exchange/treasury-report- ing-rates-of-exchange). (5) Certain rollovers and transfers. A trust that otherwise meets the require- ments of paragraphs (b)(2) or (b)(3) of this section will not fail to be treated as a tax-favored foreign retirement or non-re- tirement savings trust within the meaning of this paragraph (b) solely because it may receive a rollover of assets or funds transferred from another tax-favored for- eign retirement or non-retirement savings trust established and operated under the laws of the same jurisdiction, provided that the trust transferring assets or funds also meets the requirements of this para- graph (b)(2) or (b)(3), as applicable (but this paragraph does not apply to transfers between tax-favored retirement trusts and non-retirement savings trusts). (c) Exception for distributions from certain foreign compensatory trusts. Sec- tion 6048(c) does not apply to a distri- bution received by a U.S. person from a foreign trust described in §1.672(f)-3(c) (1) provided that the U.S. person includes in income any amounts accumulated on behalf of, or distributed by the trust, to the U.S. person to the extent such amounts are required to be included in income (other than amounts that are exempt from Fed- eral income tax under a bilateral income tax treaty or any other bilateral agreement to which the United States is a party) of the U.S. person, including pursuant to sec- tion 409A(b). (d) Exception for certain distributions received by domestic section 501(c)(3) organizations. Section 6048(c) does not apply to a distribution from a foreign trust received by a domestic organiza- tion, provided that the organization has received a determination letter from the Commissioner that has not been revoked recognizing that the domestic organiza- tion is exempt from Federal income tax under section 501(a) as an organization described in section 501(c)(3). (e) Exception for certain mirror code possession trusts. Sections 6048(a) through 6048(c) do not apply to a trust located in a mirror code possession to the extent the responsible party (within the meaning of section 6048(a)(4)), U.S. owner, or U.S. recipient is a bona fide resident (within the meaning of §1.937- 1(b)) of such mirror code possession. For purposes of this paragraph (e), a mirror code possession is a possession of the United States where, under the income tax system of the possession, the income tax liability of the residents of the pos- session is determined by reference to the income tax laws of the United States as if the possession were the United States, and a trust is located in a mirror code possession if a court within the mirror code possession is able to exercise pri- mary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more bona fide res- idents of the mirror code possession have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust. §1.6048-6 Special rules. (a) Special rules—(1) Dual resident taxpayers. If a dual resident taxpayer (within the meaning of §301.7701(b)-7(a) (1) of this chapter) computes U.S. income tax liability as a nonresident alien on the last day of the taxable year and com- plies with the filing requirements of §301.7701(b)-7(b) and (c) of this chapter, the dual resident taxpayer is not treated as a U.S. person for purposes of section 6048 with respect to the portion of the taxable year the dual resident taxpayer is treated as a nonresident alien for purposes of computing U.S. income tax liability. (2) Dual status taxpayers. If a taxpayer abandons U.S. citizenship or residence during the taxable year or acquires U.S. citizenship or residence during the tax- able year as provided in §1.6012-1(b)(2) (ii), the taxpayer will is not treated as a U.S. person for purposes of §§1.6048-1 through 1.6048-7 with respect to the por- tion of the taxable year the taxpayer was June 10, 2024 1670 Bulletin No. 2024–24 treated as a nonresident alien for purposes of computing U.S. income tax liability. (b) Effect of ownership under the grantor trust rules. The fact that a portion of a foreign trust is treated as owned by the grantor or another person under subpart E of part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code is irrelevant for purposes of determining whether a U.S. person makes a transfer to, or receives a distribution from, a foreign trust that must be reported under §§1.6048-2 through 1.6048-4. See §1.6048-4(g)(13) and (14). (c) [Reserved] (d) Married U.S. persons filing a joint income tax return. Married U.S. persons who file a joint income tax return under section 6013 for a tax year, and each of whom is subject to the information report- ing requirements under §§1.6048-2(a) (as a grantor or transferor under §§1.6048-2(c) (1) and (2) required to file Part I of Form 3520), 1.6048-3(a)(2) (as a U.S. owner of a foreign trust required to file a substitute Form 3520-A), or 1.6048-4(a) (as a U.S. recipient of a distribution from a foreign trust required to file Part III of Form 3520) for the same foreign trust, may together file a single Form 3520, Annual Return to Report Transactions with Foreign Trusts and Receipt of Certain Foreign Gifts, for that year at the time and in the manner described in §§1.6048-2 through 1.6048- 6. For purposes of filing a substitute Form 3520-A under §1.6048-3(a)(2), a separate Foreign Grantor Trust Owner statement must be completed and attached for each married U.S. person. See §1.6677-1(f) with respect to liability for penalties. §1.6048-7 Applicability dates. (a) In general. The rules of §§1.6048-1 through 1.6048-4 and §1.6048-6 apply as follows: (1) Section 1.6048-1 applies after the [date of publication of the final regula- tions in the Federal Register]. (2) To the extent related to §1.6048- 2, including the relevant portions of §1.6048-6, the rules apply to reportable events occurring after the [date of publica- tion of the final regulations in the Federal Register]. (3) To the extent related to §1.6048- 3, including the relevant portions of §1.6048-6, the rules apply to taxable years of U.S. persons beginning after the [date of publication of the final regulations in the Federal Register]. (4) To the extent related to §1.6048-4, including the relevant portions of §1.6048- 6, the rules apply to distributions received after the [date of publication of the final regulations in the Federal Register]. (b) Special rule for §1.6048-5. Section 1.6048-5 applies as follows— (1) To the extent related to reportable events under section 6048(a) and the regu- lations under section 6048 in this part, the rules apply to reportable events occurring after the [date that final regulations are published in the Federal Register]. (2) To the extent related to ownership of a foreign trust under section 6048(b) and the regulations under section 6048 in this part, the rules apply to taxable years of U.S. owners beginning after the [date that final regulations are published in the Federal Register]; and (3) To the extent related to distributions from a foreign trust under section 6048(c) and the regulations under section 6048 in this part, the rules apply to distributions received after the [date that final regula- tions are published in the Federal Regis- ter]. Par. 10. Section 1.6677-1 is added to read as follows: §1.6677-1 Failure to file information with respect to certain foreign trusts. (a) Civil penalty—(1) In general. In addition to any criminal penalty pro- vided by law, and subject to the rules of paragraph (b) of this section (concerning reporting required under §1.6048-3) and the rules of paragraph (a)(3) of this sec- tion (regarding the maximum penalty that may be assessed), if any notice or return required to be filed by §§1.6048-2 through 1.6048-4 is not timely filed, or contains incomplete or incorrect information, then with respect to each failure to comply with §§1.6048-2 through 1.6048-4, the per- son required to file such notice or return must pay a penalty equal to the greater of $10,000 or 35 percent of the gross report- able amount (within the meaning of para- graph (c) of this section). (2) Penalty for continuing failure. Subject to the rules of paragraph (a)(3) of this section (regarding the maximum penalty that may be assessed), if any failure described in paragraph (a)(1) of this section continues for more than 90 days after the day on which the Commis- sioner mails notice of such failure to the person required to pay the penalty, the person must pay an additional penalty (in addition to the amount determined under paragraph (a)(1) of this section) of $10,000 for each 30-day period (or fraction thereof) during which the fail- ure continues after the expiration of the 90-day period. (3) Maximum penalty—(i) Limited to gross reportable amount. At such time as the gross reportable amount with respect to any failure can be determined by the Commissioner, the aggregate amount of the penalties imposed under paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section will be reduced as necessary to ensure that the amount does not exceed the gross report- able amount with respect to that failure (and to the extent that the aggregate amount already collected exceeds the gross reportable amount, the Commis- sioner will refund the excess amount pur- suant to section 6402). (ii) Period of limitations on refund of excess amounts. The limitations period provided for claims for refund under sec- tion 6511(a) and (b) applies to the refund of any excess amount. (b) Special rules for returns under §1.6048-3. In the case of a Form 3520-A or a substitute Form 3520-A, including attached statements, that are required to be filed and furnished under §1.6048-3(a)— (1) The U.S. person who is treated as the owner of the foreign trust (or a por- tion of the foreign trust) is liable for the penalty imposed by paragraph (a) of this section for the failure to comply with §1.6048-3(a), and (2) Paragraph (a) of this section is applied by substituting “5 percent” for “35 percent.” (c) Gross reportable amount—(1) In general. For purposes of paragraph (a) of this section, the term gross reportable amount means— (i) The gross value of the property involved in the reportable event (deter- mined as of the date of the event) in the case of a failure relating to §1.6048-2, (ii) The gross value of the portion of the trust’s assets at the close of the trust’s Bulletin No. 2024–24 1671 June 10, 2024 taxable year treated as owned by the U.S. person in the case of each applicable fail- ure relating to §1.6048-3, and (iii) The gross amount of the distri- bution in the case of a failure relating to §1.6048-4. (2) Gross value and gross amount. The gross value or gross amount of property is determined in accordance with the valua- tion principles of sections 2512 and 2031 and the regulations under sections 2512 and 2031 in this part, though, in all events, without regard to any taxes, expenses, lia- bilities, or restrictions on the sale or use of the property. (d) Reasonable cause exception—(1) In general. Paragraph (a) of this section does not apply to any failure to file infor- mation with respect to a foreign trust if the person required to file such information submits a reasonable cause statement to the Commissioner under penalties of per- jury and demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that the failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. The determination of whether a taxpayer acted with reasonable cause and not with willful neglect is made under the principles set out in §1.6664-4 and §301.6651-1(c) of this chapter. This deter- mination is made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account all pertinent facts and circumstances. (2) Examples of situations that do not satisfy the reasonable cause exception. Examples of facts that do not constitute reasonable cause for purposes of this para- graph (d) include but are not limited to the following: (i) The fact that a foreign jurisdiction would impose a civil or criminal penalty on such person (or any other person) for disclosing the required information. (ii) Refusal on the part of a foreign trustee to provide information for any reason, including difficulty in producing the required information or the existence of provisions in the trust instrument that prevent the disclosure of required infor- mation. (e) Deficiency procedures do not apply. Subchapter B of chapter 63 (relating to deficiency procedures for income, estate, gift, and certain excise taxes) does not apply in respect of the assessment or col- lection of any penalty imposed under this section. (f) Married U.S. persons filing a joint income tax return—(1) In general. For purposes of this section, married U.S. per- sons who file one Form 3520 with respect to the same foreign trust under §1.6048- 6(d) for a tax year are treated as if they are a single U.S. person for that year. (2) Anti-abuse rule. For purposes of this section, the Commissioner may treat married U.S. persons who file a joint income tax return under section 6013 for a tax year as a single U.S. person for that year, unless the Commissioner determines that, based on all the facts and circum- stances, only one of the married individu- als was subject to the information report- ing requirement under §§1.6048-2 through 1.6048-4 (for example, because only one spouse had an interest in the property con- stituting the transfer to, or receipt from, a foreign trust). (3) Joint and several liability. If mar- ried U.S. persons are treated as a single U.S. person for a tax year, such married U.S. persons have joint and several liabil- ity with respect to any penalties imposed under this section. (g) Examples. The following examples illustrate the rules of this section. In each example, X is a U.S. person and FT is a foreign trust. (1) Example 1: Partial reporting. X transfers property worth $100,000 to FT but reports only $40,000 of that amount on Part I of Form 3520 pur- suant to §1.6048-2. X does not demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that X’s failure to report the correct amount was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. Under para- graph (a)(1) of this section, penalties will be imposed only on the unreported $60,000. (2) Example 2: Maximum penalty limited to gross reportable amount. X receives a distribution of $100,000 from FT in Year 1 but fails to report the distribution as required by §1.6048-4(a). The Commissioner learns about the distribution but does not have enough information to determine the gross reportable amount. On January 2, Year 4, the Com- missioner mails a notice of the reporting failure to X and assesses a penalty of $10,000 under paragraph (a)(1) of this section. X does not comply with X’s reporting requirement within 90 days after the day that the Commissioner mails the notice (by April 2, Year 4), so the Commissioner begins to assess additional penalties of $10,000 under paragraph (a) (2) of this section for each 30-day period (or frac- tion thereof), beginning on April 2, Year 4, during which the failure continues. By the time X complies with X’s reporting requirement, the aggregate pen- alties assessed with respect to X’s failure to report the distribution total $150,000. Under paragraph (a) (3)(i) of this section, the maximum penalty that the Commissioner may assess with respect to this failure is $100,000 (the applicable gross reportable amount determined under paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of this sec- tion), and the Commissioner must abate the excess $50,000 of assessed penalties. (3) Example 3: Maximum penalty limited to gross reportable amount below $10,000 minimum. Assume the same facts as in Example 2 above except that instead of a $100,000 distribution, X receives a dis- tribution of $4,000 from FT. By the time X complies with X’s reporting requirement, the aggregate pen- alties assessed with respect to X’s failure to report the distribution total $20,000. Under paragraph (a) (3)(i) of this section, the maximum penalty that the Commissioner may assess with respect to this failure is $4,000 (the applicable gross reportable amount determined under paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of this sec- tion), and the Commissioner must abate the excess $16,000 of assessed penalties. (4) Example 4: Multiple failures over multiple years. X created FT in Year 1 and is treated as the owner of FT under the grantor trust rules. The trustee of FT fails to file a Form 3520-A with respect to FT for Year 2 and Year 3 as required by §1.6048-3(a) (1), and X fails to file a substitute Form 3520-A and a Form 3520 (as required by §1.6048-3(a)(2)) for the same period. (In Year 4, X replaces the trustee, and the new trustee files a Form 3520-A for Year 4.) Under paragraphs (a)(1) and (b) of this section, X is subject to one penalty for Year 2 and one penalty for Year 3 for the failure to comply with §1.6048-3(a)(1) and (a)(2) for those years. (5) Example 5: Distribution from foreign-owned grantor trust through an intermediary. Y, a nonresi- dent alien, is treated as the owner of FT under sec- tion 676, after the application of section 672(f). X receives a distribution from FT through an interme- diary as described in §1.6048-4(b)(2)(i). X does not include the distribution in gross income and does not report the distribution on Part III of Form 3520 as required by §1.6048-4(a). Even if the Commissioner determines that X was not required to include the distribution in gross income, X is liable for penalties imposed by paragraph (a)(1) of this section based on the gross reportable amount determined under paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of this section because X is required to report indirect transfers of property under §1.6048-4(b)(2)(iv). (6) Example 6: Multiple failures in multiple years. (i) Facts. On December 31, Year 1, X creates FT and makes a gratuitous transfer of property with a value of $100,000 to FT. X is treated as the sole owner of FT under the grantor trust rules. During Year 2, X makes no transfers to FT and receives no distributions from FT. At the end of Year 2, the value of FT’s assets is $110,000. During Year 3, X makes no transfers to FT, but X receives a distribution of $30,000. At the end of Year 3, the value of FT’s assets is $85,000. X does not file any Forms 3520 or substitute Forms 3520-A for Year 1 through Year 3. The Trustee of FT does not file any Forms 3520-A for Year 1 through Year 3. (ii) Analysis–(A) Year 1. For Year 1, X is sub- ject to two penalties under paragraphs (a)(1) and (b) of this section: a $35,000 penalty (the greater of $10,000 or $35,000 (35% of $100,000)) for failure to comply with §1.6048-2(a) and a $10,000 penalty (the greater of $10,000 or $5,000 (5% of $100,000)) for failure to comply with §1.6048-3(a). If X does June 10, 2024 1672 Bulletin No. 2024–24 not comply with X’s reporting requirements for Year 1 within 90 days after the day on which the Com- missioner mails notice of the reporting failures to X, X will be subject to additional penalties under para- graph (a)(2) of this section of $10,000 per failure per 30-day period (or fraction thereof) ($20,000 in the aggregate per 30-day period (or fraction thereof)) during which the failure continues. Under paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section, the aggregate amount of the penalty imposed under paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section with respect to each failure will not exceed the gross reportable amount for that failure. (B) Year 2. For Year 2, X is subject to one pen- alty under paragraphs (a)(1) and (b) of this sec- tion: a $10,000 penalty (the greater of $10,000 or $5,500 (5% of $110,000)) for failure to comply with §1.6048-3(a). If X does not comply with X’s report- ing requirements for Year 2 within 90 days after the day on which the Commissioner mails notice of the reporting failures to X, X will be subject to addi- tional penalties under paragraph (a)(2) of this section of $10,000 per failure per 30-day period (or fraction thereof) ($10,000 per 30-day period (or fraction thereof)) during which the failure continues. Under paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section, the aggregate amount of the penalty imposed under paragraphs (a) (1) and (2) of this section with respect to each failure will not exceed the gross reportable amount for that failure. (C) Year 3. For Year 3, X is subject to two pen- alties under paragraphs (a)(1) and (b) of this sec- tion: a $10,000 penalty (the greater of $10,000 or 4,250 (5% of $85,000)) for failure to comply with §1.6048-3(a), and a penalty of $10,500 (the greater of $10,000 or $10,500 (35% of $30,000)) for fail- ure to comply with §1.6048-4. If X does not comply with X’s reporting requirements for Year 3 within 90 days after the day on which the Commissioner mails notice of the reporting failures to X, X will be sub- ject to additional penalties under paragraph (a)(2) of this section of $10,000 per failure per 30-day period (or fraction thereof) ($20,000 in the aggregate per 30-day period (or fraction thereof)) during which the failure continues. Under paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section, the aggregate amount of the penalty imposed under paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section with respect to each failure will not exceed the gross reportable amount for that failure. (iii) Conclusion. X is subject to aggregate pen- alties of $75,500 under paragraphs (a)(1) and (b) of this section: $45,000 for Year 1, $10,000 for Year 2, and $20,500 for Year 3. X may be subject to addi- tional penalties under paragraph (a)(2) of this section if X fails to comply with X’s reporting requirements within 90 days after the day on which the Commis- sioner mails notice of each failure to X. Under para- graph (a)(3)(i) of this section, the aggregate amount of the penalty imposed under paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section with respect to each failure will not exceed the gross reportable amount for that failure. (7) Example 7: Interaction with §1.6039F-1. In Year 1, X receives $500,000 from FT that X treats as a gift. Under §1.6048-4(d) and §1.6039F-1(b), X is required to report the amount as a distribution under §1.6048-4 and not as a foreign gift under §1.6039F- 1(a). However, based on the advice of X’s tax advi- sor, X reports the distribution under §1.6039F-1(a) and not under §1.6048-4. X’s failure to report the distribution under §1.6048-4 is subject to penalties under §1.6677-1(a) unless X demonstrates to the sat- isfaction of the Commissioner that such failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. The fact that X reported the distribution under §1.6039F-1(a) based on the advice of X’s tax advisor is a factor that may be taken into account in deter- mining whether X’s failure to report the distribution under §1.6048-4 was due to reasonable cause. X’s reliance on X’s tax advisor’s advice can only con- stitute reasonable cause, however, if, under all the circumstances, the reliance was reasonable within the meaning of §1.6664-4(c). (8) Example 8: Presumption that FT has a U.S. owner. X created FT in Year 1 and transferred $100,000 to FT. X reported the transfer to FT on Part I of Form 3520 for Year 1, but did not com- plete the other parts of Form 3520. X did not file any Forms 3520 with respect to FT in Year 2 or sub- sequent years. FT has not filed any Forms 3520-A with respect to FT (and X has not filed any substi- tute Forms 3520-A). Pursuant to §1.679-2(d)(2), the Commissioner sends a written notice to X requesting additional information related to the trust and its potential beneficiaries. X does not respond. Under §1.679-2(d)(1), FT is treated as having a U.S. benefi- ciary. Under §1.679-1(a), X is treated as the owner of FT. Under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, X is subject to penalties for Year 1 and subsequent years for failure to comply with §1.6048-3(a). (9) Example 9: Penalty for failure to report loan that is not treated as a section 643(i) distribution. FT is not treated as being owned by X or any other person under the grantor trust rules. X receives a loan of cash from FT and in exchange issues an obligation to FT that is a qualified obligation within the meaning of §1.643(i)-2(b)(2)(iii). Provided the obligation does not cease to be a qualified obliga- tion, the loan will not be a section 643(i) distribu- tion under §1.643(i)-1(a) and therefore will not be taxable to X. However, the loan is a distribution within the meaning of §1.6048-4(b)(3) that must be reported on Part III of Form 3520 under §1.6048- 4(a). X fails to report the loan. X is subject to pen- alties under §1.6677-1(a) unless X demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that such failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. (10) Example 10: Joint and several penalties. X and Y are married U.S. persons who file a joint income tax return under section 6013. In Year 1, X and Y create FT and fund the trust with $100,000 for the benefit of their U.S. children. X and Y jointly file their income tax return for the Year 1 tax year but fail to file a Form 3520 reporting the transfer of assets to a foreign trust pursuant to §1.6048-2. In addition, FT has not filed any Forms 3520-A with respect to FT (and X and Y have not filed any substitute Forms 3520-A) pursuant to §1.6048-3(a). For the Year 1 tax year, X and Y are jointly and severally liable for pen- alties under paragraph (a) of this section pursuant to paragraph (f)(2) and (3) of this section. (h) Applicability dates—(1) Reportable events. To the extent related to §1.6048-2, this section applies to reportable events occurring after the [date of publication of the final regulations in the Federal Reg- ister]. (2) U.S owners of foreign trusts. To the extent related to §1.6048-3, this section applies to taxable years of U.S. persons beginning after the [date of publication of the final regulations in the Federal Reg- ister]. (3) Reporting by U.S. persons receiv- ing distributions from foreign trusts. To the extent related to §1.6048-4, this sec- tion applies to distributions received after the [date of publication of the final regula- tions in the Federal Register]. Douglas W. O’Donnell, Deputy Commissioner (Filed by the Office of the Federal Register May 7, 2024, 8:45 a.m., and published in the issue of the Federal Register for May 8, 2024, 89 FR 39440) Bulletin No. 2024–24 1673 June 10, 2024 Part IV Deletions From Cumulative List of Organizations, Contributions to Which are Deductible Under Section 170 of the Code Announcement 2024-22 Table of Contents The Internal Revenue Service has revoked its determination that the organi- zations listed below qualify as organiza- tions described in sections 501(c)(3) and 170(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Generally, the IRS will not disallow deductions for contributions made to a listed organization on or before the date of announcement in the Internal Revenue Bulletin that an organization no longer qualifies. However, the IRS is not pre- cluded from disallowing a deduction for any contributions made after an organiza- tion ceases to qualify under section 170(c) (2) if the organization has not timely filed a suit for declaratory judgment under sec- tion 7428 and if the contributor (1) had knowledge of the revocation of the ruling or determination letter, (2) was aware that such revocation was imminent, or (3) was in part responsible for or was aware of the activities or omissions of the organization that brought about this revocation. If on the other hand a suit for declar- atory judgment has been timely filed, contributions from individuals and orga- nizations described in section 170(c)(2) that are otherwise allowable will continue to be deductible. Protection under section 7428(c) would begin on June 10, 2024 and would end on the date the court first deter- mines the organization is not described in section 170(c)(2) as more particularly set for in section 7428(c)(1). For individual contributors, the maximum deduction pro- tected is $1,000, with a husband and wife treated as one contributor. This benefit is not extended to any individual, in whole or in part, for the acts or omissions of the organization that were the basis for revo- cation.

However, the IRS is not pre- cluded from disallowing a deduction for any contributions made after an organiza- tion ceases to qualify under section 170(c) (2) if the organization has not timely filed a suit for declaratory judgment under sec- tion 7428 and if the contributor (1) had knowledge of the revocation of the ruling or determination letter, (2) was aware that such revocation was imminent, or (3) was in part responsible for or was aware of the activities or omissions of the organization that brought about this revocation. If on the other hand a suit for declar- atory judgment has been timely filed, contributions from individuals and orga- nizations described in section 170(c)(2) that are otherwise allowable will con- tinue to be deductible. Protection under section 7428(c) would begin on January 1, 2018 and would end on the date the court first determines the organization is not described in section 170(c)(2) as more particularly set for in section 7428(c)(1). For individual contributors, the maximum deduction protected is $1,000, with a hus- band and wife treated as one contributor. This benefit is not extended to any indi- vidual, in whole or in part, for the acts or omissions of the organization that were the basis for revocation. The Following organization is no lon- ger qualified as an organization exempt from income tax under Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) Section 501(a) as an organization described in Section 501(c) (3) of the Code: NAME OF ORGANIZATIONEFFECTIVE DATE OF REVOCATIONLOCATION FUNCTIONAL HEALTH INC.1/1/2018ATLANTA GA Bulletin No. 2024–24 1675 June 10, 2024 Updated Reference Standard 90.1 for § 179D Announcement 2024-24 This announcement notifies taxpayers of the applicable Reference Standard 90.1 required under § 179D(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) as part of the defini- tion of energy efficient commercial build- ing property (EECBP). This announcement supplements and supersedes Announce- ment 2023-1, 2023-3 I.R.B. 422 (2023), by affirming ASHRAE/IES Reference Stan- dard 90.1-2022 (Reference Standard 90.1- 2022) as the applicable Reference Standard 90.1 for EECBP placed in service after December 31, 2028, and the construction of which did not begin by December 31, 2022. The effective date of this announce- ment is May 17, 2024. Section 179D provides a deduction for the cost of EECBP placed in service during the taxable year. Section 179D(c) (1) defines EECBP as property (A) with respect to which depreciation (or amor- tization in lieu of depreciation) is allow- able, (B) which is installed on or in any building located in the United States and within the scope of Reference Standard 90.1, (C) which is installed as part of (i) the interior lighting systems, (ii) the heat- ing, cooling, ventilation, and hot water systems, or (iii) the building envelope, and (D) which is certified in accordance with § 179D(d)(5) as being installed as part of a plan designed to reduce the total annual energy and power costs with respect to the interior lighting systems, heating, cooling, ventilation, and hot water systems of the building by 25 percent or more in com- parison to a reference building that meets the minimum requirements of Reference Standard 90.1 using methods of calcula- tion under § 179D(d)(1). Since § 179D was enacted in 2005, § 179D(c)(2) has provided as the applica- ble reference standard for EECBP a version of Reference Standard 90.1 as published by the American Society of Heating, Refrig- erating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the Illuminating Engineer- ing Society of North America (IES). For EECBP placed in service before January 1, 2015, Reference Standard 90.1-2001 applied. For EECBP placed in service after December 31, 2014, and before January 1, 2021, Reference Standard 90.1-2007 applied. For EECBP placed in service after December 31, 2020, § 179D(c)(2), as amended by the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Relief Act of 2020, defined “Refer- ence Standard 90.1” to mean, with respect to any property, the most recent Standard 90.1 published by the ASHRAE and the IES that has been affirmed by the Secretary of the Treasury or her delegate (Secretary), after consultation with the Secretary of Energy, for purposes of § 179D not later than the date that is 2 years before the date that construction of such property begins. This statutory amendment changed the reference date for application of Reference Standard 90.1 from the placed in service date to the beginning of construction date. Section 13303 of Public Law 117-169, 136 Stat. 1818, 1947 (August 16, 2022), commonly known as the Inflation Reduc- tion Act of 2022 (IRA), amended § 179D for taxable years beginning after Decem- ber 31, 2022. This amendment returned the reference date for application of Refer- ence Standard 90.1 to the date the EECBP is placed in service. Section 179D(c)(2), as amended, defines the term “Reference Standard 90.1” as meaning, with respect to any property, the more recent of: (A) Standard 90.1-2007 published by the ASHRAE and the IES, or (B) The most recent Standard 90.1 pub- lished by the ASHRAE and the IES for which the Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a final determination and which has been affirmed by the Secretary, after consultation with the Secretary of Energy, for purposes of § 179D not later than the date that is 4 years before the date such property is placed in service. For EECBP placed in service after December 31, 2026, and for which con- struction began after December 31, 2022, Reference Standard 90.1-2019 applies. 1 On March 6, 2024, the DOE deter- mined that the updated edition Refer- ence Standard 90.1-2022 2 would improve energy efficiency in commercial build- ings. Upon publication of this affirmative determination, each State is required to review the provisions of its commercial building code regarding energy efficiency, and, as necessary, update its codes to meet or exceed Reference Standard 90.1-2022 not later than 2 years from March 6, 2024. The Secretary, after consultation with the Secretary of Energy, hereby affirms Reference Standard 90.1-2022 as the appli- cable Reference Standard 90.1 for purposes of calculating the annual energy and power consumption and costs with respect to the interior lighting systems, heating, cooling, ventilation, and hot water systems of the reference building as follows: Reference Standard 90.1-2022 will be the applicable standard for EECBP that is placed in ser- vice after December 31, 2028. Taxpayers for whose EECBP construction began by December 31, 2022, or who already placed EECBP in service or will place EECBP in service by December 31, 2028, are not sub- ject to Reference Standard 90.1-2022. The table below provides the applicable Refer- ence Standard 90.1 based on the date the EECBP is placed in service. Taxpayers for whose EECBP construction began before January 1, 2023, may apply Reference Standard 90.1-2007 regardless of when the EECBP is placed in service. 1 See Announcement 2023-1. 2 Final Determination Regarding Energy Efficiency Improvement in ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2022, 89 FR 15983 (March 6, 2024).

Bulletin No. 2024–24 i June 10, 2024 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: Amplified describes 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 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 confu- sion. It is not used where a position in a prior ruling is being changed. Distinguished describes a situation where a ruling mentions a previously pub- lished 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 pub- lished ruling that is not considered deter- minative 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 laws 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 a 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 sub- stance 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 rul- ings in the series. Suspended is used in rare situations to show that the previous published rul- ings 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.
