Abstract: The information collected will be used by the IRS to determine whether farmers are entitled to claim additional first year depreciation for certain plants and whether taxpayers are properly depreciating qualified Indian reservation property. Respondents to this collection of information are farmers of plants bearing fruits and nuts and taxpayers purchasing buildings and equipment for their businesses within Indian reservations.

Emergency Justfication: We are requesting emergency review of this submission and seek OMB approval by January 31, 2017. The new sections 168(k)(5) and 168(j)(8) of the Code are part of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (the “PATH Act”), enacted on December 18, 2015. Because Congress introduced bills making technical corrections to both new sections, we could not issue guidance until it became clear on December 9, 2016, that such bills would not be acted upon by this Congress.
