Abstract: The law allows taxpayers to defer for 5 years taxation of certain income arising in 2009 or 2010. Taxpayers then must include the deferred amount in income ratably over 5 years. The election statement advises that a taxpayer makes the election and the election and information statements provide information necessary to track the income. Respondents are C corporations and other persons in a business that reacquire debt instruments. This revenue procedure provides the exclusive procedures for taxpayers to make an election to defer recognizing discharge of indebtedness income (cancellation of debt, or COD income) under § 108(i) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Short Statement: This revenue procedure provides the exclusive procedures for taxpayers to make an election to defer recognizing discharge of indebtedness income (cancellation of debt, or COD income) under § 108(i) of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 1.108(i)-2T and proposed regulations under section 1.108(i)-2 provide rules for partnerships and S corporations regarding the application of section 108(i) of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 4.07(3) of Rev. Proc. 2009-37 requires a partner in a partnership that makes an election under section 108(i) to provide certain information to the partnership so that the partnership can determine the partner's deferred section 752 amount (partner reporting requirement). Section 1.108(i)-2T(c)(3)(iv) and proposed regulations under section 1.108(i)-2T(c)(3)(iv) have the same partner reporting requirement that is in Rev. Proc. 2009-37. As a result, regulations under REG-144762-09 do not affect the currently approved collection in Rev. Proc. 2009-37 under control number 1545-2147.
