Treatment of Certain Domestic Entities Disregarded as Separate 
From Their Owners as Corporations for Purposes of Section 6038A

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains proposed regulations that would treat a 
domestic disregarded entity wholly owned by a foreign person as a 
domestic corporation separate from its owner for the limited purposes 
of the reporting, record maintenance and associated compliance 
requirements that apply to 25 percent foreign-owned domestic 
corporations under section 6038A of the Internal Revenue Code. These 
changes are intended to provide the IRS with improved access to 
information that it needs to satisfy its obligations under U.S. tax 
treaties, tax information exchange agreements and similar international 
agreements, as well as to strengthen the enforcement of U.S. tax laws.

DATES: Written or electronic comments and requests for a public hearing 
must be received by August 8, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Send submissions to: CC:PA:LPD:PR (REG-127199-15), Room 
5203, Internal Revenue Service, P.O. Box 7604, Ben Franklin Station, 
Washington, DC 20044. Submissions may be hand delivered between the 
hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. to CC:PA:LPD:PR (REG-127199-15), Courier's 
Desk, Internal Revenue Service, 1111 Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC., or sent electronically, via the Federal eRulemaking 
Portal at http://www.regulations.gov (IRS REG-127199-15).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Concerning the proposed regulations, 
Ronald M. Gootzeit, (202) 317-6937; concerning submissions of comments 
and/or requests for a hearing, Regina Johnson, (202) 317-6901 (not

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Paperwork Reduction Act

    The collection of information contained in this notice of proposed 
rulemaking has been previously reviewed and approved by the Office of 
Management and Budget in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507(d)) under control number 1545-1191. The estimated 
average annual recordkeeping burden per recordkeeper is 10 hours. The 
estimated reporting burden is being reported under Form 5472 (OMB # 
1545-0123).
    The collection of information in this proposed regulation is in 
sections 1.6038A-1 through 1.6038A-3 and 1.6038A-5. This information is 
required in order to provide the IRS with improved access to 
information that it needs to satisfy its obligations under U.S. tax 
treaties, tax information exchange agreements, and similar 
international agreements, as well as to strengthen the enforcement of 
U.S. tax laws. The likely respondents are foreign-owned domestic 
entities that are disregarded as separate from their owners.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid 
control number assigned by the Office of Management and Budget.
    Books or records relating to a collection of information must be 
retained as long as their contents may become material in the 
administration of any internal revenue law. Generally, tax returns and 
tax return information are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.

Background

    Sections 301.7701-1 through 301.7701-3 (``the entity classification 
regulations'') classify a business entity with two or more members as 
either a

[[Page 28785]]

corporation or a partnership, and a business entity with a single owner 
as either a corporation or an entity disregarded as separate from its 
owner (``disregarded entity''). Certain domestic business entities, 
such as limited liability companies (``LLCs''), are classified by 
default as partnerships (if they have more than one member) or as 
disregarded entities (if they have only one owner) but are eligible to 
elect for federal tax purposes to be classified as corporations. Under 
special rules, an entity that is otherwise disregarded is not 
disregarded for certain excise and employment tax purposes. Section 
301.7701-2(c)(2)(iv) and (v).
    Some disregarded entities are not obligated to file a return or 
obtain an employer identification number (``EIN''). In the absence of a 
return filing obligation (and associated record maintenance 
requirements) or the identification of a responsible party as required 
in applying for an EIN, it is difficult for the United States to carry 
out the obligations it has undertaken in its tax treaties, tax 
information exchange agreements and similar international agreements to 
provide other jurisdictions with relevant information on U.S. entities 
with owners that are tax resident in the partner jurisdiction or 
otherwise have a tax nexus with respect to the partner jurisdiction.
    Section 6001 of the Internal Revenue Code (``Code'') provides that 
every person liable for any tax imposed by the Code, or for the 
collection thereof, shall keep such records, render such statements, 
make such returns and comply with such rules and regulations as the 
Secretary may from time to time prescribe, and that whenever in the 
judgment of the Secretary it is necessary, he may require any person, 
by notice served upon such person or by regulations, to make such 
returns, render such statements, or keep such records, as the Secretary 
deems sufficient to show whether or not such person is liable for tax. 
Thus, the Treasury Department and the IRS have broad authority under 
section 6001 of the Code to promulgate regulations to require the 
keeping of records and the reporting of information by persons who may 
be liable for any tax. The Code also requires many categories of 
persons to file returns, even if no tax is owed in a particular year. 
For example, all corporations organized in the United States must file 
annual income tax returns, which may include schedules requiring the 
identification of owners exceeding specified ownership thresholds. 
Moreover, foreign corporations engaged in a trade or business in the 
United States (``U.S. trade or business'') must file annual income tax 
returns. Section 6012(a)(2); section 1.6012-2. Domestic partnerships 
must file information returns with schedules identifying each partner. 
Section 6031; section 1.6031(a)-1. In addition, domestic corporations 
that are at least 25% foreign-owned are subject to specific information 
reporting and record maintenance requirements. Section 6038A.
    All entities, including disregarded entities, must have an EIN to 
file a required return. Section 6109(a)(1); see section 301.6109-
1(a)(1)(ii)(C) and (b). An entity must also have an EIN in order to 
elect to change its classification. An entity that accepts its default 
classification and is not required to file a return need not obtain an 
EIN. Because a domestic single-member LLC is classified as a 
disregarded entity by default rather than by election and has no 
separate federal tax return filing requirements, there is typically no 
federal tax requirement for it to obtain an EIN. Other applicable 
federal or state laws may require an entity to obtain an EIN. For 
example, pursuant to federal law, financial institutions in the United 
States generally require an entity to have an EIN to open an account. 
See 31 CFR 1020.220(a)(1)(i)(A)(4).
    An entity obtains an EIN by filing Form SS-4, Application for 
Employer Identification Number, in which the entity must identify a 
responsible party. The instructions to Form SS-4 define ``responsible 
party'' for an entity (including a disregarded entity) that is not 
traded on a public exchange or registered with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission as ``the individual who has a level of control 
over, or entitlement to, the funds or assets in the entity that, as a 
practical matter, enables the individual, directly or indirectly, to 
control, manage, or direct the entity and the disposition of its funds 
and assets.'' The entity must also report any subsequent change in the 
responsible party. See section 301.6109-1(d)(2)(ii).
    When an entity, such as an LLC, is classified as a corporation or a 
partnership for tax purposes, general ownership and accounting 
information is available to the IRS through the return filing and EIN 
application requirements. However, a disregarded entity is not subject 
to a separate income or information return filing requirement. Its 
owner is treated as owning directly the entity's assets and 
liabilities, and the information available with respect to the 
disregarded entity depends on the owner's own return filings, if any 
are required. For a disregarded entity that is formed in the United 
States and wholly owned by a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, 
or nonresident alien individual, generally no U.S. income or 
information return must be filed if neither the disregarded entity nor 
its owner received any U.S. source income or was engaged in a U.S. 
trade or business during the taxable year. Moreover, if a disregarded 
entity only receives certain types of U.S. source income, such as 
portfolio interest or U.S. source income that is fully withheld upon at 
source, its owner may not have a U.S. return filing requirement. Even 
in cases when the disregarded entity has an EIN, as well as in cases 
when income earned through a disregarded entity must be reported on its 
owner's return (for example, income from a U.S. trade or business), it 
may be difficult to associate the income with the disregarded entity 
based solely on the owner's return.
    Although ownership and accounting information is generally 
available under the reporting requirements established by the U.S. 
federal tax system with respect to many types of domestic entities, the 
absence of specific return filing and associated recordkeeping 
requirements for foreign-owned, single-member domestic entities hinders 
law enforcement efforts and compliance with international standards of 
transparency and cooperation in the area of tax information exchange. 
These difficulties have been noted in reviews of the U.S. legal system 
by international organizations, including the Financial Action Task 
Force and the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information 
for Tax Purposes, which is affiliated with the Organisation for 
Economic Co-operation and Development. The lack of ready access to 
information on ownership of, and transactions involving, these entities 
also makes it difficult for the IRS to ascertain whether the entity or 
its owner is liable for any federal tax.
    In general, section 6038A imposes reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements (together with certain procedural compliance requirements) 
on domestic corporations that are 25-percent foreign-owned. They are 
required to file an annual return on Form 5472, Information Return of a 
25% Foreign-Owned U.S. Corporation or a Foreign Corporation Engaged in 
a U.S. Trade or Business (Under Sections 6038A and 6038C of the 
Internal Revenue Code), with respect to each related party with which 
the reporting corporation has had any ``reportable transactions.'' See 
section 1.6038A-2. These corporations must keep the permanent books of 
account or records as required by section 6001 that are

[[Page 28786]]

sufficient to establish the accuracy of the federal income tax return 
of the corporation, including information, documents, or records to the 
extent they may be relevant to determine the correct U.S. tax treatment 
of transactions with related parties. See section 1.6038A-3.

Explanation of Provisions

    These proposed regulations would amend section 301.7701-2(c) to 
treat a domestic disregarded entity that is wholly owned by one foreign 
person as a domestic corporation separate from its owner for the 
limited purposes of the reporting and record maintenance requirements 
(including the associated procedural compliance requirements) under 
section 6038A. As with the existing special rules with respect to 
employment and excise taxes, these proposed regulations would not alter 
the framework of the existing entity classification regulations, 
including the treatment of certain entities as disregarded. These 
regulations are intended to provide the IRS with improved access to 
information that it needs to satisfy its obligations under U.S. tax 
treaties, tax information exchange agreements and similar international 
agreements, as well as to strengthen the enforcement of U.S. tax laws.
    Because the proposed regulations would treat the affected domestic 
entities as foreign-owned domestic corporations for the specific 
purposes of section 6038A under the proposed regulations, and because 
such entities are foreign-owned, they would be reporting corporations 
within the meaning of section 6038A. Consequently, they would be 
required to file the Form 5472 information return with respect to 
reportable transactions between the entity and its foreign owner or 
other foreign related parties (transactions that would have been 
regarded under general U.S. tax principles if the entity had been, in 
fact, a corporation for U.S. tax purposes) and would also be required 
to maintain records sufficient to establish the accuracy of the 
information return and the correct U.S. tax treatment of such 
transactions. In addition, because these entities would have a filing 
obligation, they would be required to obtain an EIN by filing a Form 
SS-4 that includes responsible party information.
    To ensure that such entities are required to report all 
transactions with foreign related parties, these regulations would 
specify as an additional reportable category of transaction for these 
purposes any transaction within the meaning of section 1.482-1(i)(7) 
(with such entities being treated as separate taxpayers for the purpose 
of identifying transactions and being subject to requirements under 
section 6038A) to the extent not already covered by another reportable 
category. The term ``transaction'' is defined in section 1.482-1(i)(7) 
to include any sale, assignment, lease, license, loan, advance, 
contribution, or other transfer of any interest in or a right to use 
any property or money, as well as the performance of any services for 
the benefit of, or on behalf of, another taxpayer. For example, under 
these proposed regulations, contributions and distributions would be 
considered reportable transactions with respect to such entities. 
Accordingly, a transaction between such an entity and its foreign owner 
(or another disregarded entity of the same owner) would be considered a 
reportable transaction for purposes of the section 6038A reporting and 
record maintenance requirements, even though, because it involves a 
disregarded entity, it generally would not be considered a transaction 
for other purposes, such as making an adjustment under section 482. The 
penalty provisions associated with failure to file the Form 5472 and 
failure to maintain records would apply to these entities as well.
    The proposed regulations would also provide that the exceptions to 
the record maintenance requirements in section 1.6038A-1(h) and (i) for 
small corporations and de minimis transactions will not apply to these 
entities.
    Consistent with the changes contemplated by these proposed 
regulations, the IRS is also considering modifications to corporate, 
partnership, and other tax or information returns (or their 
instructions) to require the filer of these returns to identify all the 
foreign and domestic disregarded entities it owns.
    The proposed regulations would impose a filing obligation on a 
foreign-owned disregarded entity for reportable transactions it engages 
in even if its foreign owner already has an obligation to report the 
income resulting from those transactions--for example, transactions 
resulting in income effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. 
trade or business. The Treasury Department and the IRS request comments 
on possible alternative methods for reporting the disregarded entity's 
transactions in such cases.

Proposed Effective/Applicability Date

    The regulations are proposed to be applicable for taxable years 
ending on or after the date that is 12 months after the date these 
regulations are published as final regulations in the Federal Register.

Special Analyses

    Certain IRS regulations, including this one, are exempt from the 
requirements of Executive Order 12866, as supplemented and reaffirmed 
by Executive Order 13563. Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not 
required. It has also been determined that section 553(b) and (d) of 
the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply to 
these regulations. Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 
chapter 6), it is hereby certified that this regulation will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
Accordingly, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required. This 
certification is based on the fact that these regulations will 
primarily affect a small number of foreign-owned domestic entities that 
do not themselves otherwise have a U.S. return filing requirement, and 
that the requirement to file a return for these entities will not 
impose a significant burden on them. Pursuant to section 7805(f), this 
notice of proposed rulemaking has been submitted to the Chief Counsel 
for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration for comment on its 
impact on small entities.

Comments and Requests for a Public Hearing

    Before these proposed regulations are adopted as final regulations, 
consideration will be given to any comments that are submitted timely 
to the IRS as prescribed in this preamble under the Addresses heading. 
The Treasury Department and the IRS request comments on aspects of the 
proposed rules for which additional guidance is desired. All comments 
will be available at www.regulations.gov or upon request. A public 
hearing will be scheduled if requested in writing by any person that 
timely submits written comments. If a public hearing is scheduled, then 
notice of the date, time, and place for the public hearing will be 
published in the Federal Register.

Drafting Information

    The principal author of these regulations is Ronald M. Gootzeit, 
Office of Associate Chief Counsel (International). However, other 
personnel from the Treasury Department and the IRS participated in 
their development.

* * * * *
    (9) Examples. The application of paragraph (b)(3) of this section 
may be illustrated by the following examples:

    Example 1.  (i) In year 1, W, a foreign corporation, forms and 
contributes assets to X, a domestic limited liability company that 
does not elect to be treated as a corporation under Sec.  301.7701-
3(c) of this chapter. In year 2, W contributes funds to X. In year 
3, X makes a payment to W. In year 4, X, in liquidation, distributes 
its assets to W.
    (ii) In accordance with Sec.  301.7701-3(b)(1)(ii) of this 
chapter, X is disregarded as an entity separate from W. In 
accordance with Sec.  301.7701-2(c)(2)(vi) of this chapter, X is 
treated as an entity separate from W and classified as a domestic 
corporation for purposes of section 6038A. In accordance with 
paragraphs (a)(2) and (b)(3) of this section, each of the 
transactions in years 1 through 4 is a reportable transaction with 
respect to X. Therefore, X has a section 6038A reporting and record 
maintenance requirement for each of those years.
    Example 2.  (i) The facts are the same as in Example 1 of this 
paragraph (b)(9) except that in year 1 W also forms and contributes 
assets to Y, another domestic limited liability company that does 
not elect to be treated as a corporation under Sec.  301.7701-3(c) 
of this chapter. In year 1, X and Y form and contribute assets to Z, 
another domestic limited liability company that does not elect to be 
treated as a corporation under Sec.  301.7701-3(c) of this chapter. 
In year 2, X transfers funds to Z. In year 3, Z makes a payment to 
Y. In year 4, Z distributes its assets to X and Y in liquidation.
    (ii) In accordance with Sec.  301.7701-3(b)(1)(ii) of this 
chapter, Y and Z are disregarded as entities separate from each 
other, W, and X. In accordance with Sec.  301.7701-2(c)(2)(vi) of 
this chapter, Y, Z and X are treated as entities separate from each 
other and W, and are classified as domestic corporations for 
purposes of section 6038A. In accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of 
this section, each of the transactions in years 1 through 4 
involving Z is a reportable transaction with respect to Z. 
Similarly, the contribution to Y in year 1, the payment to Y in year 
3, and the distribution to Y in year 4 are reportable transactions 
with respect to Y. Moreover, X's funds transfer to Z in year 2 is a 
reportable transaction. Therefore, Z has a section 6038A reporting 
and record maintenance requirement for years 1 through 4, Y has a 
section 6038A reporting and record maintenance requirement for years 
1, 3 and 4, and X has a section 6038A reporting and record 
maintenance requirement in year 2 in

[[Page 28788]]

addition to its section 6038A reporting and record maintenance 
described in Example 1 of this paragraph (b)(9).

    (d) * * * In the case of an entity that is treated as a reporting 
corporation by reason of Sec.  301.7701-2(c)(2)(vi) of this chapter, 
Form 5472 must be filed at such time and in such manner as the 
Commissioner may prescribe in forms or instructions.

Par. 5. Section 301.7701-2 is amended by revising the last sentence of 
paragraph (a) and adding paragraphs (c)(2)(vi) and (e)(9) to read as 
follows:


Sec.  301.7701-2  Business entities; definitions.

    (a) * * * But see paragraphs (c)(2)(iii) through (vi) of this 
section for special rules that apply to an eligible entity that is 
otherwise disregarded as an entity separate from its owner.
* * * * *
    (c) * * *
    (2) * * *
    (vi) Special rule for reporting under section 6038A--(A) In 
general. An entity that is disregarded as separate from its owner for 
any purpose under this section is treated as an entity separate from 
its owner and classified as a corporation for purposes of section 6038A 
if--
    (1) The entity is a domestic entity; and
    (2) One foreign person has direct or indirect sole ownership of the 
entity.
    (B) Definitions--(1) Indirect sole ownership. For purposes of 
paragraph (c)(2)(vi)(A)(2) of this section, indirect sole ownership 
means ownership by one person entirely through one or more entities 
disregarded as separate from their owners or through grantor trusts, 
regardless of whether any such disregarded entity or grantor trust is 
domestic or foreign.
    (2) Entity disregarded as separate from its owner. For purposes of 
this paragraph (c)(2)(vi)(B), an entity disregarded as separate from 
its owner is an entity described in paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this 
section, without regard to the exceptions provided in paragraphs 
(c)(2)(ii) though (vi) of this section.
    (3) Grantor trust. For purposes of this paragraph (c)(2)(vi)(B), a 
grantor trust is any portion of a trust that is treated as owned by the 
grantor or another person under subpart E of subchapter J of chapter 1 
of the Code.
* * * * *
    (e) * * *
    (9) Reporting required under section 6038A. Paragraph (c)(2)(vi) of 
this section applies to taxable years ending on or after the date that 
is 12 months after the date of publication of the Treasury decision 
adopting these rules as final regulations in the Federal Register.
