The Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Update Their Guidance Priorities.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Readers Who Follow Washington Developments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As noted in previous Capital Letters (including Capital Letter No. 11<\/a>), the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service publish an annual \u201cPriority Guidance Plan\u201d identifying projects to which they intend to apply resources for the period beginning July 1 and ending the following June 30. This is a useful tool to inform us what we might expect in the near future that affects our clients and our practices. So it is important to note that the Priority Guidance Plan<\/a> for the 12 months beginning July 1, 2008, released on September 10, 2008, lists the following 15 projects under the heading of Gifts and Estates and Trusts. (The introductory headings in bold font are quoted from the Plan.)   All in all, the Plan is not surprising or overly aggressive, involving primarily the completion of projects started under prior Plans. Only one project (item 4) is brand new, although five projects (5, 8, 9, 10, and 15) are adaptations, outgrowths, or reoccurrences of continuing or periodic projects.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.     Regulations under \u00a767 regarding miscellaneous itemized deductions of a trust or estate.  Proposed regulations were published on July 27, 2007.  <\/strong>This project, which first appeared on the 2006-07 Priority Guidance Plan<\/a>, addresses the conflict between O\u2019Neill Irrevocable Trust v. Commissioner<\/em>, 994 F. 2d 302 (6th Cir. 1993) (holding that section 67(e)(1)<\/a> exempts from the \u201c2% floor\u201d on miscellaneous itemized deductions the investment advice expenses of multi-generation trusts) and the opposite holdings in Mellon Bank v. United States<\/em><\/a>, 265 F.3d 1275 (Fed. Cir. 2001), Scott v. United States<\/em>, 328 F.3d 132 (4th Cir. 2003), and now William L. Rudkin Testamentary Trust v. Commissioner<\/em>, 467 F.3d 149 (2d Cir. 2006), aff\u2019d sub nom<\/em> Michael J. Knight, Trustee v. Commissioner<\/em><\/a>, 552 U.S. ___ (No. 06-1286, Jan. 16, 2008).  Generally reflecting the Second\u2019s Circuit\u2019s \u201ccould not have been incurred\u201d standard, the proposed regulations (REG-128224-06)<\/a> would apply the 2% floor to all expenses of an estate or trust except expenses that are \u201cunique\u201d to an estate or trust, and an expense would be considered \u201cunique\u201d only if \u201can individual could not have incurred that cost in connection with property not held in an estate or trust.\u201d  The proposed regulations<\/a> would also require the \u201cunbundling\u201d of unitary fiduciary fees or commissions, so as to identify the portions attributable to activities and services that are not \u201cunique\u201d and are therefore subject to the 2% floor.

On February 27, 2008, the Service issued Notice 2008-32, 2008-11 I.R.B. 593<\/a>, reopening the comment period on the proposed regulations<\/a> until May 27, 2008, and providing, among other things, that \u201c[t]he IRS and the Treasury Department expect to issue final regulations \u2026 consistent with the Supreme Court\u2019s holding in Knight<\/a>,\u201d and that fiduciaries meanwhile would not be required to \u201cunbundle\u201d a unitary fiduciary fee on 2007 income tax returns.  References in the Supreme Court\u2019s Knight<\/em><\/a> opinion to \u201ca somewhat ambiguous exception,\u201d \u201cuncertainty,\u201d and \u201cthe absence of regulatory guidance\u201d seem to suggest that any reasonable regulatory interpretation of section 67(e)<\/a> would receive deference from the courts, leaving the door open for Treasury to provide definitive guidance that Fellows hope to be practical and consistent with congressional objectives of simplification.

Both ACTEC and I submitted comments pursuant Notice 2008-32<\/a> on May 27, 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.     Guidance under \u00a7529 regarding qualified tuition programs.  An advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) was published on January 18, 2008.  <\/strong>The advance notice of proposed rulemaking (REG-127172-05)<\/a> (essentially a request for public comment on proposed rules in conceptual form without actual regulatory language) was published on January 18, 2008, addressing the application of transfer taxes to qualified tuition programs (QTPs) under section 529<\/a>.  In addition to a general anti-abuse rule, rules are proposed to address challenging questions regarding the application of transfer taxes to contributors, account owners, and designated beneficiaries.  The proposed rules<\/a> have been controversial and have generated a lot of comment.  ACTEC submitted comments on April 16, 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.     Final regulations under \u00a7642(c) concerning the ordering rules for charitable payments made by a charitable lead trust.  Proposed regulations were published on June 18, 2008.  <\/strong>Proposed Reg. \u00a7\u00a7 1.642(c)-3(b)(2) & 1.643(a)-5(b) (REG-101258-08)<\/a> would allow provisions in a governing instrument of an estate or trust that specify the source from which income amounts are to be paid to charities to be respected for federal tax purposes only when the provisions have \u201ceconomic effect independent of income tax consequences\u201d \u2013 that is, apparently only if those provisions affect the amount that is paid to charity.  In an annuity or unitrust context it is hard to think of an ordering regime that affects the amount that is paid to charity.  Thus, the proposed regulations are in substance a prohibition, and the amount of income distributed to each charitable beneficiary will consist of the same proportion of each class of items of income of the estate or trust as the total of each class bears to the total of all classes.

Although the proposed regulations themselves do not include an effective date, the preamble to the notice of proposed rulemaking states that \u201c[t]he regulations, as proposed, apply to trusts and estates for taxable years beginning after the date final regulations are published in the Federal Register.\u201d  It is not explicitly stated whether and how the regulations would apply to existing irrevocable trusts, but the preamble expresses the belief of the IRS and Treasury, based on \u201cthe structure and provisions of Subchapter J as a whole\u201d and supported by a chain of references and cross-references, that the result in the proposed regulations is already required by the law and regulations. When publishing sample charitable lead unitrust forms in July 2008, the Service stated: \u201cA provision in the governing instrument of a charitable lead trust that provides for the payment to charity to consist of different classes of income determined on a non pro rata basis will not be respected because such a provision does not have economic effect independent of the income tax consequences of the payment.  See \u00a71.642(c)-3(b)(2) and (3).\u201d  Rev. Proc. 2008-45, 2008-30 I.R.B. 224, \u00a7 5.02(10)<\/a>; Rev. Rul. 2008-46<\/a>, 2008-30 I.R.B. 238, \u00a7 5.02(10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.     Guidance under \u00a7643 regarding uniform basis rules for trusts.  <\/strong>This project is new in the 2008-09 Plan<\/a>.  It is likely that it is intended to address the results when the income and remainder beneficiaries of a charitable remainder trust sell their respective interests in a coordinated sale designed to circumvent the rules governing commutation of CRT interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.     Adjustments to sample charitable trust forms under \u00a7664.  <\/strong>When it published sample charitable lead unitrust forms in Rev. Proc. 2008-45, 2008-30 I.R.B. 224<\/a>, and Rev. Rul. 2008-46, 2008-30 I.R.B. 238<\/a>, the Service completed a round of sample forms for various split-interest trusts.  Now the Service apparently intends to go over its work again, to reflect updates in the law, practice, and thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Revenue ruling regarding the consequences under various income, estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax provisions of using a family owned company as a trustee of a trust.\u00a0 A proposed Rev. Rul. was published on August 4, 2008.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>As\u00a0Capital Letter Number 11<\/a>\u00a0shows, the proposed revenue ruling published in\u00a0Notice 2008-63, 2008-31 I.R.B. 261<\/a>, strikes the right chord by attempting to find a way to make the use of a family-owned trust company tax-neutral, by preventing the owners from doing indirectly through the company what they could not do directly themselves, but permitting unwelcome tax consequences to be avoided by the same types of firewalls that are used for individual trustees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Final regulations under \u00a72032(a) regarding imposition of restrictions on estate assets during the six month alternate valuation period.\u00a0 Proposed regulations were published on April 25, 2008.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>While the so-called \u201canti-Kohler<\/em>\u00a0regulations\u201d (Proposed Reg. \u00a7 20.2032-1(f)<\/a>,\u00a0REG-112196-07<\/a>) will need a little polishing in their application to post-death corporate reorganizations (ACTEC submitted\u00a0comments\u00a0on July 22, 2008), their principal effect and likely principal objective is to curtail the use of purported valuation discounts arising from post-death fractionalizations of assets like real estate and family limited partnerships and LLCs.\u00a0 As\u00a0Capital Letter Number 11<\/a>\u00a0concludes, it is hard to lament too strenuously the loss of techniques that seemed \u201ctoo good to be true\u201d anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.     Guidance under \u00a72036 regarding graduated grantor retained annuity trusts (GRATs).  <\/strong>Final regulations, Reg. \u00a7\u00a7 20.2036-1(c) & 20.2039-1(e), T.D. 9414<\/a>, published on April 23, 2008, took the relatively welcome position that the Service will apply section 2036 and will refrain from applying section 2039 when the grantor of a GRAT dies during the GRAT term.  Under the new regulations, the amount includible in the gross estate is the amount needed to generate the retained interest without invasion of principal \u2013 that is, in perpetuity \u2013 up to the entire date-of-death value of the trust assets.  Reg. \u00a7 20.2036-1(c)(2)(i)<\/a>.  In the case of a GRAT, this will usually result in inclusion of the entire value of the assets, unless the assets have increased enormously in value.

The new regulations offer one GRAT example, Reg. \u00a7 20.2036-1(c)(2)(iii), Example 2<\/em><\/a>, which, unlike many GRATs, is not graduated \u2013 that is, it does not include an annual increase in the annuity, which, if paid in perpetuity, will always exhaust the GRAT if the graduation rate, usually 20%, exceeds the 7520 rate.  The preamble to the final regulations acknowledged that an example using a graduated GRAT would be helpful and appropriate, but stated that the issue requires further consideration.  This 2008-09 project is the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.     Guidance providing procedures for filing and perfecting protective claims for refunds for amounts deductible under \u00a72053.  <\/strong>This project is new in the 2008-09 Plan<\/a> and grows out of item 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10.    Guidance under \u00a72053 regarding personal guarantees and the application of present value concepts in determining the deductible amount of administration expenses and claims against the estate.  <\/strong>This project also grows out of item 11.  The second part of this project, relating to \u201cpresent value concepts,\u201d is evidently aimed at the leveraged benefit obtained when a claim or expense is paid long after the due date of the estate tax, but the additional estate tax deduction is credited as of the due date of the tax and earns interest from that date.  If this project results in a deduction of only the present value of the payment, as of the due date of the tax, and<\/em> the discount rate used in the calculation of the present value is the same as the rate of interest on the tax refund, and<\/em> the interest is not subject to income tax (or the discount rate is also reduced by the income tax rate), then the invocation of \u201cpresent value concepts\u201d might make very little difference on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11.    Final regulations under \u00a72053 regarding the extent to which post-death events may be considered in determining the deductible amount of a claim against the estate.  Proposed regulations were published on April 23, 2007.  <\/strong>This project, which originally appeared in the 2003-04 Plan<\/a>, addresses the valuation of claims against the estate, especially claims being pursued in litigation pending at the date of the decedent\u2019s death.  In general, the proposed regulations (REG-143316-03)<\/a> will allow a deduction of otherwise deductible (that is, existing at the date of death and legally enforceable) claims only if and when they are paid or ascertainable with reasonable certainty.  If that does not occur before the estate tax statute of limitations runs, the executor\u2019s recourse is to file a protective claim for refund (the procedures for which will be clarified by the project announced in item 9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12.    Final regulations under \u00a72642(g) regarding extensions of time to make allocations of the generation-skipping transfer tax exemption.  Proposed regulations were published on April 17, 2008.  <\/strong>This first appeared on the 2008-09 Priority Guidance Plan<\/a>.  The background of this project is section 564(a) of EGTRRA, which added subsection (g)(1) to section 2642<\/a>, directing Treasury to publish regulations providing for extensions of time to allocate GST exemption or to elect out of statutory allocations of GST exemption (when those actions are missed on the applicable return or a return is not filed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13.    Guidance under \u00a72704 regarding restrictions on the liquidation of an interest in a corporation or partnership.  <\/strong>This item first appeared on the 2003-04 Plan<\/a> and will address section 2704(b)(4)<\/a>, which states, in the context of corporate or partnership restrictions that are disregarded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary may by regulations provide that other restrictions shall be disregarded in determining the value of the transfer of any interest in a corporation or partnership to a member of the transferor\u2019s family if such restriction has the effect of reducing the value of the transferred interest for purposes of this subtitle but does not ultimately reduce the value of such interest to the transferee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Items 11, 12, and 13 will be the subject of closer scrutiny in future Capital Letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Final regulations under \u00a77477 regarding declaratory judgment procedures relating to gift tax valuation issues.\u00a0 Proposed regulations were published on June 9, 2008.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>The\u00a0Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (P.L. 105-34)<\/a>\u00a0enacted a trilogy of welcome relief provisions to accompany the imposition of the gift-by-gift statute of limitations disclosure rules of\u00a0section 6501(c)(9)<\/a>.\u00a0 The relief trilogy, effective for gifts made after August 5, 1997, included (i) addition of a new\u00a0section 2001(f)<\/a>\u00a0to deny revaluation for estate tax purposes of all gifts adequately disclosed on a gift tax return once the gift tax statute of limitations has run, (ii) amendment of\u00a0section 2504(c)<\/a>\u00a0to drop the requirement that a current gift tax must have been paid to achieve this finality of valuation, thus extending the finality of valuation provided by that statute to gifts that merely use some or all of the donor\u2019s unified credit, and (iii) the addition of\u00a0section 7477<\/a>\u00a0to empower the Tax Court to issue declaratory judgments regarding the value of gifts, including use of the unified credit, if the donor has first exhausted the available administrative remedies with the Service.

The\u00a0proposed regulations relating to declaratory judgments (REG-143716-04)<\/a>\u00a0describe a \u201cPreliminary Determination Letter\u201d (similar to a \u201c30-day letter\u201d), which the donor may use as the basis for a formal protest to request consideration by Appeals, and a \u201cLetter 3569\u201d (similar to a statutory notice of deficiency or \u201c90-day letter\u201d), which empowers a donor to file a petition with the Tax Court.\u00a0 The Service will view full participation in the Appeals process, including a post-petition referral to Appeals if a Preliminary Determination Letter is not issued for reasons other than the donor\u2019s delay, as an administrative remedy that the statute requires to be exhausted.\u00a0\u00a0Proposed Reg. \u00a7 301.7477-1(d)(3)(i) & (ii)<\/a>.\u00a0 But the Service will not view the refusal to extend the statute of limitations as a failure to exhaust administrative remedies.\u00a0\u00a0Proposed Reg. \u00a7 301.7477-1(d)(3)(iii)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15.    Guidance under \u00a77520 updating the mortality based actuarial tables to reflect data compiled from the 2000 census.  <\/strong>Under section 7520(c)(3)<\/a>, the tables prescribed for making the actuarial calculations under section 7520<\/a> are to be revised \u201c[n]ot later than December 31, 1989 [and] \u2026 not less frequently than once each 10 years thereafter to take into account the most recent mortality experience available as of the time of the revision.\u201d  This project will be important, because estate planners make actuarial calculations all the time, but it will not be controversial.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
