Short Statement:
IRS is currently working on updated final regulations and a new revenue procedure. The preamble to the proposed regulations states that taxpayers who request substitute tables under Rev. Proc. 2008-62 will only be able to use them until shortly after the new regulations become effective (they are proposed to be effective in 2018). Even before that, actuaries were aware that IRS was working on these regulations and that their substitute tables would expire after new regulations were issued. As a result, Employee Plans received only one request for use of substitute tables in 2016. They expect a similar very low volume of requests under Rev. Proc. 2008-62 in 2017. After IRS publishes the new regulations and new revenue procedure, IRS will receive a larger volume of requests. IRS anticipates publishing before the end of July 2017.
