Abstract:
This is an information return for reporting tax credit bond credits distributed to holders of tax credit bonds. The taxpayer holding a tax credit bond on an allowance date during a tax year is allowed a credit against federal income tax equivalent to the interest that the bond would otherwise pay. The bondholder must include the amount of the credit in gross income and treat it as interest income. The issuers and holders of the tax credit bond will send Form 1097-BTC to the bond holders quarterly and file the return with the IRS annually.
Emergency Justfication:
The Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, section 1541 - Effective for tax years beginning after February 17, 2009, regulated investment companies (RICs), commonly known as mutual funds, can elect to pass through to shareholders credits from tax credit bonds, replacing the requirement that the credits be passed through. Where the election is made, shareholders of the RIC are to include in income the shareholders proportionate share of the interest income attributable to the credits and are simultaneously allowed to proportionate share of credits (as outlined in Code section 853A(b)(3)). A RIC must report to shareholders the shareholders proportionate share of credits and gross income in respect to the credits no later than 60 days after the close of the RICs tax year. Form 1097-BTC, Bond Tax Credit, has been designed (for the issuers of these certain tax credit bonds), to report to the taxpayers and IRS the tax credit distributed. Attempts were initiated to process this ICR under normal circumstances, and a Federal Register notice was published on September 14, 2010 (75 FR 55849). In light of current economic conditions and the need to understand and use the form, we are requesting to make this form available to the taxpayers by the end of October. Since the provision is applicable to tax years beginning after February 17, 2009, we are asking for an emergency review and approval of this ICR by 10/22/2010. Failure to provide this form to the issuers or recipients will prevent the accurate and timely tax reporting of this credit. This could have a significantly negative impact on the taxpayers and agency alike, creating additional burden on everyone if delayed any longer.
