Regulations Under Section 382(h) Related to Built-In Gain and Loss; Withdrawal

RBIG; and (vi) to exclude section 382 disallowed business interest carryforwards (as defined in § 1.382-2(a)(7)) as items of RBIL under section 382(h)(6)(B).

The 2019 proposed regulations reflected the view that the certainty

provided by the 1374 approach would streamline the calculation of built-in gains and built-in losses for taxpayers and the administration of section 382(h) for the IRS. In developing the 2019 proposed regulations, the Treasury Department and the IRS also considered the “338 approach” (as described in Notice 2003-65) to be more complex than the 1374 approach and to result in overstatements of RBIG and RBIL.

The Treasury Department and the IRS received several comments in response to the 2019 proposed regulations, many of which were critical of the foregoing view. In response to the comments received, the Treasury Department and the IRS are withdrawing the 2019 proposed regulations and the 2020 proposed regulations.

The Treasury Department and the IRS are continuing to study the issues addressed in the 2019 proposed regulations and expect to issue a revised notice of proposed rulemaking regarding such issues. By the terms of Notice 2003-65, taxpayers may continue to rely on the approaches set forth therein for purposes of applying section 382(h) to an ownership change that occurs prior to the effective date of temporary or final regulations under section 382(h). See Notice 2003-65, Part V.
