的 American Institute of CPAs (188bet亚洲真人体育下载)已提交 comments and recommendations to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) related to the proposed regulations to implement Investing in Qualified Opportunity Zones (REG-115420-18).  的 proposed rules provide guidance on the deferral of gains resulting from a taxpayer’s investment in a qualified opportunity fund (QOF).

的 deferral is allowed under Internal Revenue Code sections 1400Z-1 and 1400Z-2 in order to encourage investment that will result in economic growth in designated low-income communities.

的 188bet亚洲真人体育下载 recommended that the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS provide guidance on the following seven issues:

• Disposition of an interest in a pass-through entity that elected to defer gain;
• 180-day period for a partner electing deferral;
• Deferral election on an amended tax return;
• Extension of 10-year basis step-up election until December 31, 2047;
• Effect of Internal Revenue Code section 179 and bonus depreciation under section 168 on “substantial improvement” of the tangible property requirement;
• Guidance stating that rental real estate is a trade or business for purposes of section 1400Z-2;
• Guidance stating that the definition of “corporation” for all purposes of section 1400Z-2 includes subchapter S corporations;

的 188bet亚洲真人体育下载 also requested guidance or clarification of a variety of other issues related to section 1400Z-2.
