Is the IRS considering changes to the determination letter program and interim amendment requirements, now that a full cycle has been completed? We will have a discussion with Andrew Zuckerman, Director of EP Rulings and Agreements about where the program is today and what changes they are considering making.
The following questions will be addressed:
- What alternatives to the interim amendments requirements is the IRS considering?
- What is the status of cases already submitted?
- Are there submissions being held in suspense and what are the issues?
- What changes does the IRS anticipate being made to the determination letter program? When, how and how much?
- What are the rules for submitting late amendments under VCP?
