TD 8823 contains final regulations
regarding certain deductions and losses, including built-in
deductions and losses, of members who join a consolidated group.
The regulations provide rules for computing the limitation with
respect to separate return limitation year (SRLY) losses, and the
carryover or carryback of losses to consolidated and separate
return years. The regulations also eliminate the application of the
SRLY rules in certain circumstances in which the rules of section
382 of the Internal Revenue Code also apply. The collection of
information in this regulation is in §1.1502–21(b)(3). This
information is required to ensure that an election to relinquish a
carryback period is properly documented, and will be used for that
purpose. The collection of information is required to obtain a
benefit (relating to the carryover of losses which would otherwise
be carried back). The likely respondents are consolidated groups.
Section 1502 provides for the promulgation of regulations with
respect to corporations that file consolidated income tax returns.
These regulations amend the current regulations regarding the use
of certain losses and deductions by such corporations.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
