INCOME TAX

Rev. Proc. 2024-31, page 1113.

This revenue procedure provides the procedures and requirements that a manufacturer of specified property must follow to be treated as a “qualified manufacturer” (QM) under § 25C(h) of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 25C(h)(1) provides that no credit will be allowed under § 25C(a) with respect to any item of specified property placed in service after December 31, 2024, unless such item is produced by a QM and the taxpayer includes the qualified product identification number (PIN) of such item on the taxpayer’s tax return for the taxable year. This revenue procedure provides that a manufacturer that wishes to become a QM must register and enter into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), assign a PIN unique to each item of specified property, label such items, and make periodic written reports to the IRS of the PINs so assigned.

INCOME TAX, TAX CONVENTIONS

Notice 2024-78, page 1111.

This notice extends the transitional FATCA reporting relief in Notice 2023-11 (with two additional requirements) and is intended to enable the IRS to continue to collect and analyze information relating to characteristics of accounts maintained by Model 1 Foreign Financial Institutions (FFIs) missing required U.S. TINs. This information will be used to develop any permanent relief for reporting Model 1 FFIs who continue to report with missing U.S. TINs for certain accounts.
