Agreements for Payment of Tax Liabilities in Installments
Section 6159 of the Internal Revenue Code allows the IRS to enter into agreements with taxpayers for the payment of tax liabilities in installments. The principal purpose of this project is to update the regulations under section 6159 to reflect various amendments to that section and related statutes. The proposed regulations govern the acceptance and rejection of installment agreement, the terms of those agreements and when they may be modified or terminated by the Service, and appeal procedures when the Service makes a rejection or termination decision.

Distributions of Stock in Certain Tax-Free Reorganizations
While most tax-free reorganization provisions require one corporation that acquires another corporation to issue stock to shareholders of the corporation being acquired, the IRS has not required taxpayers to issue stock in an all cash sale of assets between two corporations when the same person or persons own the same proportion of stock in both corporations. Recent regulations provide guidance on when the same person or persons are treated as owning the same proportion of stock in both the acquiring and acquired corporation and therefore stock does not have to be issued in an all cash sale of assets between two corporations. These regulations provide additional guidance on this situation and the effect on certain related party triangular reorganizations. REG-157834-06. Published March 1, 2007.
