Introduction
The Internal Revenue Bulletin is the authoritative instrument
of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for announcing official 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 substantive 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 otherwise indicated. Procedures relating solely to matters of internal 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 rulings 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 Unpublished rulings will not be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, disbarment 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.

Update for Weighted
Average Interest Rates,
Yield Curves, and Segment
Rates
Notice 2022-35
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
average segment rates under § 430(h)
(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. In
addition, this notice provides guidance as to the interest 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
Applicable Month
August 2022
single-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 determined using three
24-month average interest rates (“segment rates”), each of which applies to
cash flows during specified periods. 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 calendar 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.
Notice 2007-81, 2007-44 I.R.B. 899,
provides guidelines for determining the
monthly corporate bond yield curve, and
the 24-month average corporate bond
segment rates used to compute the target
normal cost and the funding target. Consistent with the methodology specified in
Notice 2007-81, the monthly corporate
bond yield curve derived from July 2022
data is in Table 2022-7 at the end of this
notice. The spot first, second, and third
segment rates for the month of July 2022
are, respectively, 3.67, 4.67, and 4.73
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 minimum and maximum percentages of the corresponding 25-year
average segment rates. The 25-year average segment rates for plan years beginning in 2021 and 2022 were published
in Notice 2020-72, 2020-40 I.R.B. 789,
and Notice 2021-54, 2021-41 I.R.B. 457,
respectively.
24-MONTH AVERAGE CORPORATE
BOND SEGMENT RATES
The three 24-month average corporate bond segment rates applicable for
August 2022 without adjustment for the
25-year average segment rate limits are
as follows:

25-YEAR AVERAGE SEGMENT
RATES
Section 9706(a) of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Pub. L. 117-2 (the
ARP), which was enacted on March 11,
2021, changed the 25-year average segment rates and the applicable minimum
and maximum percentages used under
§ 430(h)(2)(C)(iv) of the Code to adjust
the 24-month average segment rates.2 Prior
to this change, the applicable minimum
and maximum percentages were 85%
and 115% for a plan year beginning in
2021, and 80% and 120% for a plan year
beginning in 2022, respectively. After this
change, the applicable minimum and maximum percentages are 95% and 105% for
a plan year beginning in 2021 or 2022.
In addition, pursuant to this change, any
25-year average segment rate that is less
than 5% is deemed to be 5%.3
Pursuant to § 9706(c)(1) of the ARP,
these changes apply with respect to plan
years beginning on or after January 1,
2020. However, § 9706(c)(2) of the ARP
provides that a plan sponsor may elect not
to have these changes apply to any plan
year beginning before January 1, 2022.4
The adjusted 24-month average segment rates set forth in the chart below
reflect § 430(h)(2)(C)(iv) of the Code
as amended by § 9706(a) of the ARP.
These adjusted 24-month average segment rates apply only for plan years for
which an election under § 9706(c)(2) of
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
Section 80602 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Pub. L. 117-58, makes further changes to the time periods for which specified applicable minimum and maximum percentages
apply.
3
Pursuant to this change, the 25-year averages of the first segment rate for 2021 and 2022 are increased to 5.00% because those 25-year averages as originally published are below 5.00%.
4
This election may be made either for all purposes for which the amendments under § 9706 of the ARP apply or solely for purposes of determining the adjusted funding target attainment
percentage under § 436 of the Code for the plan year.

of the corresponding 25-year average
segment rates in accordance with § 430(h)

ARP. These adjusted 24-month average
segment rates apply only for plan years
for which an election under § 9706(c)(2)
of the ARP is in effect. For a plan year
for which such an election applies, the
24-month averages applicable for July
2022, adjusted to be within the applicable
minimum and maximum percentages of

30-YEAR TREASURY SECURITIES
INTEREST RATES
Section 431 specifies the minimum
funding requirements that apply to multiemployer 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) provides 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 average of the rates of interest on 30-year Treasury 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

taxpayers from certain failure to file penalties and certain international information return (IIR) penalties with respect
to tax returns for taxable years 2019 and
2020 that are filed on or before September
30, 2022. This notice also provides relief
from certain information return penalties
with respect to taxable year 2019 returns
that were filed on or before August 1,
2020, and with respect to taxable year
2020 returns that were filed on or before
August 1, 2021. The relevant penalties
will be waived or, to the extent previously
assessed, abated, refunded, or credited,
as described in section 3.A of this notice.
Situations where penalty relief does not
apply are described in section 3.B of this
notice.
SECTION 2. BACKGROUND
Section 6651(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) generally imposes an
addition to tax for a failure to file (on or
before the date prescribed) a tax return
that is required under the authority of
subchapter A of chapter 61 (other than
part III regarding information returns) of
the Code, including certain income tax
returns.1
Section 6038 generally imposes a
penalty for the failure of certain United
States persons to furnish (on or before the
date prescribed) certain information with
respect to a controlled foreign corporation
or a controlled foreign partnership that the
person owns.
Section 6038A(d) imposes a penalty on
a “25-percent foreign-owned” domestic
corporation or wholly foreign-owned
domestic disregarded entity for the failure to furnish (on or before the date prescribed) certain information or the failure
to maintain certain records.
Section 6038C(c) imposes a penalty on
a foreign corporation engaged in a U.S.
trade or business for the failure to furnish
(on or before the date prescribed) certain
information or the failure to maintain certain records.
Section 6039F(c) imposes a penalty on
a United States person for the failure to
furnish (on or before the date prescribed)
certain information with respect to the
receipt of large gifts or bequests from foreign persons.
Section 6677 generally imposes a
penalty on a United States person for the
failure to file (on or before the date prescribed) a notice or return required by
section 6048 with respect to transactions
with, or ownership of, a foreign trust.
Section 6698(a)(1) generally imposes a
penalty for the failure of any partnership
to file (on or before the date prescribed)
the return required under section 6031.
Section 6698(a)(2) generally imposes
a penalty for filing a return that fails to
show the information required under section 6031.
Section 6699(a)(1) generally imposes
a penalty for the failure of any S corporation (as defined in section 1361(a)(1))
to file (on or before the date prescribed) a
return required under section 6037. Section 6699(a)(2) generally imposes a penalty for filing a return that fails to show the
information required under section 6037.
Section
6721(a)(2)(A)
generally
imposes a penalty for the failure to file an
information return (as defined in section
6724(d)(1)) on or before the required filing date.
The foregoing penalties do not apply
if the taxpayer can show that the failure to timely file the return or to furnish
the required information or to provide
the required notice, as applicable, is due
to reasonable cause. See §§ 6651(a)(1),
6038(c)(4)(B), 6038A(d)(3), 6038C(c),
6039F(c)(2), 6677(d), 6698(a) flush
language, 6699(a) flush language, and
6724(a).
On March 13, 2020, the President of
the United States issued an emergency
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance
Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq., in response
to the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019
(COVID-19) pandemic (Emergency Declaration).2 The Emergency Declaration
instructed the Secretary of the Treasury “to
provide relief from tax deadlines to Americans who have been adversely affected
by the COVID-19 emergency, as appropriate, pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 7508A(a).”
In response, the Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a series
of notices and other guidance to provide
relief to affected taxpayers. In particular, Notice 2020-17, 2020-15 I.R.B. 590,
postponed the due date for certain Federal
income tax payments from April 15, 2020,
until July 15, 2020. Notice 2020-18, 202015 I.R.B. 590, superseded Notice 2020-17
and provided expanded relief postponing
the due date for filing Federal income tax
returns that were originally due on April
15, 2020, to July 15, 2020, among other
things. Notice 2021-21, 2021-15 I.R.B.
986, postponed the due date for filing Federal income tax returns in the Form 1040
series and making certain Federal income
tax payments that were originally due on
April 15, 2021, to May 17, 2021.
Additions to tax or penalties for failure
to timely file returns continued to accrue
for taxpayers who did not file by the postponed due dates.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also had
an unprecedented effect on the IRS’s personnel and operations. The agency was
called upon to support emergency relief
for taxpayers, such as distributing economic impact payments,3 while sustaining
its regular operations in a pandemic environment with limited resources, where
employees were sometimes unable to be
physically present to process tax returns
and correspondence. In response to these
Unless otherwise stated, all “section” references are to provisions of the Code.

The IRS, in coordination with the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, issued more than 476.1 million payments through three rounds of economic impact payments, totaling more than $814.4
billion during 2020 and 2021. IRS Data Book, 2021, Publication 55-B.

challenges, the IRS has been working aggressively to process backlogged
returns and taxpayer correspondence to
return to normal operations for the 2023
filing season. The Treasury Department
and the IRS have determined that the
penalty relief described in this notice
will allow the IRS to focus its resources
more effectively, as well as provide relief
to taxpayers affected by the COVID-19
pandemic.

Table of Contents
The Internal Revenue Service has
revoked its determination that the organizations listed below qualify as organizations 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 precluded from disallowing a deduction for
any contributions made after an organization ceases to qualify under section 170(c)
(2) if the organization has not timely filed
a suit for declaratory judgment under section 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.

contributions from individuals and organizations described in section 170(c)(2)
that are otherwise allowable will continue
to be deductible. Protection under section 7428(c) would begin on September
6, 2022 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 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 revocation.

declaratory judgment suit under section

Goodcity, NFP
Bulletin No. 2022–36
7428 of the Code, challenging revocation
of its status as an eligible donee under section 170(c)(2).
Protection under section 7428(c) of the
Code begins on the date that the notice
of revocation is published in the Internal
Revenue Bulletin and ends on the date
on which a court first determines that an

the basis for the revocation. This protection also applies (but without limitation as
to amount) to organizations described in
section 170(c)(2) which are exempt from

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 published 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 confusion. It is not used where a position in a
prior ruling is being changed.
Distinguished describes a situation
where a ruling mentions a previously published 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 published ruling that is not considered determinative 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 substance 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 rulings in the series.
Suspended is used in rare situations
to show that the previous published rulings will not be applied pending some
future action such as the issuance of new
or amended regulations, the outcome of
cases in litigation, or the outcome of a
Service study.
