Abstract: RP 2008-VV allows issuers of life insurance contracts have failed to meet the definition of life insurance contract under section 7702 or to satisfy the requirements of section 101(f) of the Internal Revenue Code to cure these contracts so that they do not fail section 7702 or section 101(f). RP 2008-WW allows issuers of variable contracts have failed to meet the diversification requirements of section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code to cure these contracts so that they do not fail section section 817(h). RP 2008-XX allows issuers of life insurance contracts whose contracts have failed to meet the tests of section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code to cure these contracts that have inadvertently become modified endowment contracts. RP 2008-YY allows issuers of variable contracts have failed to meet the diversification requirements of section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code to cure these contracts so that they do not fail section section 817(h). RP 2088-ZZ provides guidance as to how issuers of life insurance contracts may automatically obtain a waiver under section 7702(f)(8) or section 101(f)(3)(H) of the Internal Revenue Code to remedy certain life insurance contracts for certain reasonable errors that caused a contract to fail to satisfy the requirements of section 7702 or section 101(f).
