On Friday, August 5, 2011, the IRS issued Notice 2011-66 and Rev. Proc. 2011-41 to provide guidance concerning the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (TRUIRJCA). Under TRUIRJCA, an election may be made to opt out of the estate tax and into the carryover basis rules under Code section 1022. IRS Notice 2011-66 provides guidance with regard to the Code section 1022 election and filing requirements, the generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax in 2010 as well as other collateral issues arising from the Code section 1022 election. Rev. Proc. 2011-41 provides optional safe harbor guidance when an election is made to have the carryover basis rules under Code section 1022 apply. We will be posting our commentary concerning the different aspects of the guidance provided by the IRS under Notice 2011-66 and Rev. Proc. 2011-41 over the next few days, so please check back here. For your reference, below are links to our commentary concerning TRUIRJCA:
