Abstract: The regulations provide guidance with respect to section 179C, which provides a taxpayer can elect to treat 50% of the cost of qualified refiner property as a deductible expense not chargeable to capital account. The taxpayer may not claim a deduction under section 179C for any taxable year unless the taxpayer files a report with the Secretary containing information with respect to the operation of the taxpayers refinery. The report must specify (i) the name and address of the refinery; (ii) which production capacity requirement under section 179C(e) the taxpayers qualified refinery qualifies under; (iii) whether the production capacity requirements of section 179C(e)(1) or 179C(e)(2) have been met. The regulations also provide that if the taxpayer is a cooperative described in section 1381, and one or more persons directly holding an ownership interest in the taxpayer are organizations described in section 1381, the taxpayer/cooperative can elect to allocate all or a portion of the deduction allowable under section 179C to those persons. If the taxpayer cooperative makes such an election, it must provide written notice of the amount of the allocation to any owner receiving an allocation by written notice on Form 1099-PAT Taxable Distributions Received from Cooperatives. The collection of information in the proposed and temporary regulations involves a written notice.
