Abstract: The regulations provide rules relating to the manner and method of reporting and paying the nondeductible 50 percent excise tax imposed by section 5881 of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to the receipt of greenmail. The reporting requirements will be used to verify that the excise tax imposed under section 5881 is properly reported and timely paid. Form 8725 is used by persons who receive "greenmail" to compute and pay the excise tax on greenmail imposed under Internal Revenue Code section 5881. IRS uses the information to verify that the correct amount of tax has been reported.

Short Statement: There is no change to this existing regulation. However, IRS is consolidating data reported under 2 different approval numbers (1545-1086 and 1545-1049), to eliminate the perception of double counting the same tax requirements. We are making this submission to renew the OMB approval. The net result will be an increase in the estimated annual burden of 90 hours.
