    Title: Section 108 Reduction of Tax Attributes for S Corporations.
    OMB Number: 1545-2155.
    Regulation Project Number: REG-102822-08 (TD 9469).
    Abstract: This final regulation provides guidance on the manner in 
which an S corporation reduce its tax attributes under section 108(b)

aggregate amount of the shareholders' disallowed section 1366(d) losses 
and deductions that are treated as a net operating loss tax attribute 
of the S corporation exceeds the amount of the S corporation's excluded 
discharge of indebtedness income. The regulations affect S corporations 
and their shareholders.
    Current Actions: There is no change to this existing regulation.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,000.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 1 hour.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,000.
