The Small Business Job Protection Act
of 1996 requires taxpayers whom claim depreciation deductions on
property placed in service after September 13, 1995, under the
income forecast method to pay (allow taxpayers to receive) interest
based on the recalculation of depreciation. Form 8866 must be used
in order to compute and report interest due or to be refunded under
IRC 167 (g)(2). The IRS uses Form 8866 to determine if the interest
has been figured correctly.
