Abstract: Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 6112 requires material advisors to maintain lists of advisees and other information with respect to reportable transactions and to make that information available to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) upon written request. IRC section 6708 imposes a penalty upon material advisors for failing to make a list required by IRC section 6112 available to the IRS within 20 business days after the date of the written request. Treasury Decision (TD) 9764 contains final regulations relating to the penalty under IRC section 6708. The collection of information is in Treasury Regulations section 301.6708–1(c)(3)(ii), which requires a person requesting an extension of the 20-business-day period to provide the IRS, in writing, with specific information regarding the list and the circumstances that would warrant additional time.
