Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
60‑Day Rollover Waiver — New Self‑Certification
If you missed the 60-day rollover deadline because a distribution was made to a state unclaimed property fund, Revenue Procedure 2020-46 now adds that reason to the list allowing self-certification for a waiver. Previously the only way to get a waiver in that situation was to request an IRS ruling (with a $10,000 user fee); this program lets taxpayers receive the waiver benefit without paying that user fee. The notice estimates 160 respondents, 3 hours per response, and 480 total annual burden hours.
Small Wind Energy Credit Standards
You (or your business or nonprofit) that acquires small wind energy property must meet the performance and quality standards set out for property to qualify for the Section 48 energy credit. The notice (OMB No. 1545-2259) estimates 160 respondents, an average 2 hours 30 minutes per response, and 400 total annual burden hours; the notice says no changes are being made at this time.
