Summary

Nothing here creates its own rules; it is a directory pointing to requirements found elsewhere in the tax code. It lists where to find the notice rules for fiduciaries acting for taxpayers, how a fiduciary applies for a tax determination and release from personal liability, notices for redetermining taxes claimed as credits, the withholding exemption certificates employees give employers, the wage statements employers must furnish, information on stamp redemptions, the statement a corporation files when expecting a net operating loss carryback, and the application for a tentative carryback adjustment. One item on the list was repealed in 1965 and has no effect.
