IRS Shelves Multi-Year Corporate Tax Reporting Rules
Published Date: 9/30/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
The government is pulling back proposed rules about how companies report gains or losses when they split up, join, or reorganize. This means corporations and their shareholders won’t have to follow new multi-year tax reporting rules that were being considered. If you’re involved in these corporate moves, you can breathe easy—no new tax paperwork or surprises coming soon!

2026-16769, Proposed Removal of a Reporting Requirement for Trusts Whose Charitable Contribution Deductions Are Solely for Contributions Made by Passthrough Entities
This document contains proposed regulations that would amend existing regulations that require certain trusts to report all charitable contributions and amounts permanently set aside for a charitable purpose on Form 1041-A, U.S. Information Return Trust Accumulation of Charitable Amounts. The proposed regulations would remove the reporting requirement for these trusts with respect to taxable years in which the trust's only claimed charitable contribution deduction results from charitable contributions made by a passthrough entity in which the trust owns an interest. The proposed regulations would also modify the existing regulations to clarify that split-interest trusts satisfy their filing obligations by filing Form 5227, Split-Interest Trust Information Return, rather than Form 1041-A. The proposed regulations would affect certain trusts that are required to report all charitable contributions and amounts permanently set aside for a charitable purpose.
