Abstract:
Section 6112 requires material advisors to maintain lists of advisees and other information with respect to reportable transactions and to make that information available to the Secretary upon written request. Section 6708 imposes a penalty on a person required to maintain a list under section 6112 (a “material advisor”) who fails to make the list available to the IRS upon written request. Under section 6708(a)(1), if a material advisor fails to comply with a written request for the section 6112 list within 20 business days after the request is made, the material advisor is subject to a penalty in the amount of $10,000 for each day of the failure after the 20th business day. The collection of information in the final regulations is in section 301.6708–1(c)(3)(ii). This information is required for the IRS to determine whether good cause exists to grant a person affected by these regulations an extension of the legislatively established 20-business-day period to furnish a lawfully requested list to the IRS.
