Reportable Transactions (Portfolio 648)

Description

Bloomberg Tax Portfolio, Reportable Transactions, No. 648, provides an in-depth discussion of the reportable transaction rules under Regs. §1.6011-4 as well as the associated penalties for noncompliance. The Portfolio begins with a historical look at the developments leading to the introduction of the first reportable transaction regime in 2000. The Portfolio then provides a detailed analysis of the rules under the reportable transaction rules as they existed in 2000 and, more specifically, an in-depth discussion of the rules as finally adopted and amended in 2003 and 2007, as well as the penalties for non-compliance. The Portfolio then discusses the “registration” and “list maintenance” rules under §§6111 and 6112 as they existed both before and after the enactment of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, as well as the penalties for non-compliance. Finally, the Portfolio provides an overview of the various states that have also enacted a reportable transaction regime.
