Financial Accounting and Disclosure Guidance Related to Schedule M-3
A new Section has bee added to the M-3 home page that provides summary information and links to formal guidance as follows:
Revenue Procedure 2005-75 provides guidance on adequate disclosure on Schedule M-3 to avoid IRC 6662 penalties.
Notice 2006-06 eliminates the "large book-tax differences" as a category of transactions, pursuant to the Tax Shelter Disclosure Regulation 1.6011-4(b)(6), requiring disclosure on Form 8886, "Reportable Transaction Disclosure Statement". This change is due to the transactions that would have previously been required to be reported on or after January 6, 2006.
Prior to Notice 2006-06, Revenue Procedure 2004-45, provided that filing Schedule M-3 by certain taxpayers in accordance with the Rev. Proc. satisfied the Treasury Regulation 1.6011-4(b)(6) requirements to disclose transaction with significant book-tax difference.
