Abstract:
Form 8886 is used to disclose participation in reportable transactions by taxpayers as described in regulations 1.6011-4. The Compliance Assurance Process (CAP) is a strictly voluntary program available to LMSB taxpayers that meet the selection criteria. CAP is a real-time review of completed business transactions during the CAP year with the goal of providing certainty of the tax return within 90 days of the filing. The Pre-CAP/CAP Application Form is used by taxpayers wanting to join the program each year. Participation in the CAP program is completely voluntary and is only available for LMSB Taxpayers.
Emergency Justfication:
To improve tax compliance by LB&I taxpayers, meet our annual compliance plan objectives, and continue to move LB&I forward, it is essential that we make the distinction between taxpayer behaviors and balance enforcement efforts appropriately. The development and OMB approval of this CAP application form will help us meet our Agency obligations to the taxpayers. Failure to provide taxpayers with the proper tools and assistance to comply with the tax laws and responsibilities could result in an adverse financial impact on the taxpaying public and hinder the mission of the IRS. The new application form will become effective as soon as the permanency announcement is made. Once permanence is announced, this form must be available so taxpayers can apply for the program. Thus, we are requesting an emergency Paperwork Reduction Act review by October 8, 2010.
